I agree whole heartedly, it is over. I find it difficult to understand why people who are enthusiastic about a science, astronomy, which is based on the known laws of physics and method of science still uphold the view that somehow, the same laws and method being used to derive information about the world's climate over tens of thousands of years is not only wrong but deliberately false. If climate change physics is wrong and false then all of physics is wrong and false
To imply that disparate teams of scientists are engaged in a blatant fraud to deceive the public "for the almighty dollar" beggars belief. Such a conspiracy would involve an enourmous amount of complex collusion between hundreds of scientists.
I am reminded of the heated denials of scientific findings about the hazards of smoking back in the early seventies; the "arguments" used to deny this are much the same as the arguments used against the discoveries of the correlation between carbon dioxide emmissions and global warming today.
Climate scientists are just doing science about the world's climate---nothing more.Their findings are not an attempt to conspire against a gullible public. Science attempts, by models (theories) to present a real interpretation of our universe and how it works. It is not absolute, there is no such thing as proof in the absolute sense, science presents evidence that is compelling, proof is analogous to the speed of light limit; we can increase the compelling evidence almost to dead certainty but never get exactly there.
I believe science is correct when it presents a Heliocentric solar system as reality, the evidence for it is "beyond reasonable doubt", in other words it would be unreasonable for me to believe otherwise. The same holds true for the findings of climate change and its correlation to CO2 emmisions.
Those who are "chasing the almighty dollar" are those who have a vested interest in denying the evidence, which is overwhelming, for climate change through man made CO2 emmissions.
But it doesn't look as though we humans are going to heed the warnings; does it matter? I guess not because if we don't do something about it then nature will---to the peril of humanity.
