> Similarly, the evidence for climate change is pretty much undeniable now and I can only assume that those pretending it doesn't exist are not honest actors.

That's exactly my position, except the opposite. Anyone who claims that "the world is ending, give us money" is anything but a scam, shamelessly copied from the Catholic Church, is not an honest actor.

So do you have a rational explanation for all the permafrost sinkholes opening in Siberia? Or the ice shelfs melting? Or half of antartica disappearing? Or Australia, and Western United States constantly on fire?

Do you know what a feedback loop is? Heat rises, permafrost melts, methane is released causing heat to rise more, more permafrost/ice is melted causing higher temps.

Do you know what happens if we lose bees and other polinators, and how close we are to losing them because of pesticides?

There's plenty of people pushing climate change and not demanding a cent. Those pushing the hardest AGAINST climate change are the ones demanding we "look the other way" because of their corporate greed - re: Oil / Plastics industries.

I rest my case.
