Yet people still deny it.

We should have called it climate change from day one, as opposed to "global warming". Cold spells, polar vortices, et al, led people to be complacent.

Is natural. Goes up and down in waves in a cyclitic form.

The decades up to the 1970's when the west was spewing out more polution then it ever had, and we went through two very noticable ice ages here in the UK.1948 and 1981-83.
1948 was just after more polution hit the world than ever before and yet we had an ice age!

Now round the world we have less pollution than in the past and we have global warming. Answer = to go back to burning fossil fuels to combat climate change. Simple if one thi ks about it!

People would deny it whatever you call it. It's not even worth arguing with them any more.

The only question anyone needs to ask themselves is "Am I a climate scientist?" and if the answer is no you need to shut up and listen to the 90%+ of actual climate scientists who are in broad agreement that it's happening.

Otherwise what's the point of having experts? Why spend all that money training people and doing research if when they start ringing alarm bells we just call bs because it's scary and economically inconvenient?

Ask oneself what one actually sees. Use ones eyes! Look up historic events for oneself! Ask oneself "Am I brainwashed?" Ask oneself " Who profits and who loses out? Follow the money...! Ask oneself "Why is this organisation controlling governmental decisions when government promised it would represent the people and not big un-elected organisations!
Ask oneself "What happened to democracy?" " Why does democracy no longer exist in climate control decisions? "

When an NT says, "I don't believe in global warming", he actually means something else such as:
"I believe in global warming, but I don't believe it's important. I don't care about it. Anyway I'll be dead before the climate becomes bad enough to ruin my life."
Thus the statements from NTs cannot be interpreted literally.

Another problem is that a surprisingly large percentage of people are masochistic and thus they derive pleasure from chaos and seeing the world burn, even if it causes their own suffering. Enjoyment of self-suffering is the definition of masochism, and it's shockingly common in the personalities of many typical people.

You seem to be suggesting that NTs never speak literally, which is an absurd assertion.

^^this is the truth. There has been a movement over the last decades to debunk and undermine anyone who is an expert in anything. We are told that if we use a bit of common sense, we can find out anything, with the help of Mr Google etc.

That is wrong. We have experts for a reason: to help us and deal with events and crises. We'd still be back in the stone age if humans hadn't started learning and becoming experts in subjects.

You didn't literally say never, but I'd have to be completely ignorant of context to not understand that it's implied. Unless you're completely ignorant of context and didn't understand it was implied.

Except sometimes on Mondays, but my message wasn't posted on a Monday.
