OK, but I still have doubts.
Here you are trundling up what you believed to be evidence supporting your view that this global warming stuff is just so much bullshit for the third time, only to be told - for the third time - that what you believe to be fact is literally fake news. Your reaction? Basically "doesn't matter".

That scepticism we were talking about just a couple of days ago, where did it go? Or maybe its there, but just very one-sided. Or was it never even present to begin with? You're just paying it lip service to keep up appearances, maybe?

I suppose you'll post the same crap for a fourth time in another few months. Forgive me for finding your conduct a bit depressing now.

In between, I googled time's headlines about it.

How many more polar bears do we need to save? Did you know that reporters were outed for misrepresenting the polar bear story?

Nope. I believe in climate change. You do too. That says absolutely nothing about the IPCC reports (or who funded them) or the reality of what would happen if we listened to that bratty teen (millions died from lack of fossil fuels)

I suppose you'll post the same crap for a fourth time in another few months. Forgive me for finding your conduct a bit depressing now.
Climate change, the phrase, makes no sense. No-one disagrees with it (because it would be like disagreeing with 'diurnal cycle')

Climate change, the phrase, is used to political ends, but doesn't seem to have any real utility outside that.

What does it mean? What would 'solving it' mean? (climate stasis?)

I don't mind acknowledging that some of the effects we are seeing are man-made, but it makes me very suspicious when people insist that 'climate change deniers say...' when they are (NONE of them) denying that climate changes. It's almost like trying to silence any dissent.

I expect they'll post the same crap for an nth time in another few months. forgive me if I remain sceptical of the super-wealthy who jet-set around barking about it.

It couldn't be funnier if Al Gore got rich off the notion and noone bats an eye if he buys beachfront property.

The term climate change is not a vague statement that something is changing. Its central component is anthropogenic global warming, and it includes all the consequences of that, such as an increase in extreme weather events.

So why not call it diurnal cycle?

And do dodge the mentions about the MANY times climate alarmists have been found to be wrong (or worse). It's not as tough as dodging polar bears.

Perhaps you have no understanding of the actual meaning of "diurnal cycle", otherwise your sentence is utterly without meaning.

By "climate alarmists", I presume you mean the thousands of highly qualified climate scientists whose objective studies demonstrate how continuing global warming will pose major problems for both the global environment and human civilisation.

The Inter-govermental Panel on Climate Change report is actually a very conservative document, which while heavy on supporting evidence in its appendixes somewhat fudges it's conclusions and suggests some very modest targets. This is in the most part due to the Inter-govermental nature of the process - it's unavoidably an exercise in compromise to produce a watered down report that the contributing governments can all sign up to.

Climate deniers often tout the IPCC as a kind of undemocratic institution populated with intolerant science absolutists with an axe to grind and a self-serving morally bankrupt agenda to control the world. However, their role is simply to make recommendations to government which might inform public policy. The resulting government agreement and policy coordination is then to be thrashed out by the annual UN Climate Change Conference. After 26 years no specific action has been agreed.

Deniers, and the organisations which fund and promote denialism, attack the IPCC in an effort undermine and/or undercut governmental policy making, and therefore the moral charges that the IPCC is basically a malignant or malliciously ill-intentioned actor seek in practice to avoid consideration and discussion of both the modest recommendations of the panel and the weight of evidence in its report appendixes. Essentially this kind of denialism is an attempt to cast bonafide scientific methodologies, datasets, and conclusions as abborant opinion and to delegitimise any role which science might play in informing public policy.

All climate deniers are science deniers to a greater or lesser extent.

You are beginning to understand me. Let me make this clear:
The phrase "climate change" is, as you say, utterly without meaning.

So why use it to sell their program?
By "climate alarmists", I presume you mean the thousands of highly qualified climate scientists whose objective studies demonstrate how continuing global warming will pose major problems for both the global environment and human civilisation.
No, but thanks for helping to make my point. I'll try to be gentle here, JimC...

'climate alarmists' are people exhibiting unnecessary alarm at the weather.

It may be tough to sort out what is 'unnecessary' from reality, but immediately dismissing any possible scientific dissent, by citing (the NPC-sounding) 'I presume you mean the thousands of highly qualified climate scientists whose objective...'

Well, that sounds a bit closed-minded.

To me, anyway.

Your Excellencies,

That's the short form. I would call anyone a 'climate alarmist' if they are predicting things that keep serving their political aims, independent of their accuracy. If there were highly paid actors doing it, I would suspect them of being highly paid to do it.

Energy IS big business, and when I think of how subtle competition might look around energy companies, I don't rule out someone paying protesters to make a little more noise for tactical purposes.

So anyone presenting a very clear case, without VERY clear falsifications available, has a big hill to climb.

OK, but I still have doubts. They start with the phrase 'climate change'.

It's nonsensical. It really is the same as saying 'daylight change'.

The climate has been changing - unstoppably - forever.

I don't want to grant an angry teen the power to stop 'climate change'. I would be happy if 'climate change alarmism' was outed as dangerous though.

Climate change is short for human-induced climate change. You surely can't be this stupid.

So why use such a vapid phrasing?

Is it possibly because it isn't about conveying information, so much as waving a flag?

Lots of the wealthy elite wave that flag publicly, while privately flying on private jets and investing in energy companies...

It is very useful, in that it can be used in perpetuity.

So who paid for the IPCC report? And did they have other financial interest in the energy sector?

There aren't many 'alternatives' to fossil fuels...is there someone backing nuclear power who might profit from these HUGE goals?
