You clearly didn't do any further research.

Here, we use an extensive dataset of 1,372 climate researchers and their publication and citation data to show that (i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.

You keep saying this, but holy god damn you must be retarded. Who the fuck else should we trust with this kind of information? Private contractors in the pockets of corporations whose very profits depend on cheap resources and lack of costly regulation? They're fucking climate scientists, this is what they do. There are no college degrees in global warming. There are, though, many college degrees in climate science (kind of important to humans), planetary science, environmental science, environmental biology, etc. The vast majority scientists in these fields have had their say, time and time again, about the kind of harm we're doing to the environment, and people like you pander to the >3% who say otherwise, in the face of staggering evidence to the contrary.
Your "holothetic logic" (or lack of logic and consideration entirely) honestly astounds me. You're in such a tight bubble that it (clearly) is a lost cause even trying to convince you with facts and evidence.
Your same "logic" can be applied to the
huge fucking amount of plastic and garbage in every single major ocean gyre too, right? I mean humans have been producing greenhouse gases en mass long before there were plastics, so there's no way that we could really affect the world oceans to a degree of any significant harm. I suppose deep sea ocean volcanoes burped these up too, right? Lol i'm sure the ocean will just take care of it on it's own then!
