I agree. I just wish all this BS could be settled already.
In my OPINION the real problem is the extreme views on BOTH sides.
The environmental warriors take a preservationists aka "humans are bad " view on climate change.
The climate change deniers act like humans didn't do anything wrong.
A few,small consistently enforced changes would make a HUGE difference in climate stability.
Simply raising the mpg 15-20% would work wonders.
I don't think anyone needs to have a degree in science to discuss the issue of climate change.
All you need to do, is state what you think and LISTEN to those who have reasonable ideas.
I apologize if I came off as the "pomous academic asshole"
