    The “Experts” are flying all over the world in their private jets, emitting more pollution than I do in a year

      I don’t think most people who qualify as experts on this matter are doing that in the slightest… but ok buddy. Let’s group the politicians and scientists together then?

          The whole point of the scientific method is that it’s self-correcting. Corrupting one scientist doesn’t matter because the scientific consensus will show that they’re wrong.

          But corrupt one (or a few) politicians and you can get laws changed for your benefit.

    • Greta Thunberg probably does too, with all the places she speaks and demonstrates at. I’m not going to take issue with it though because her whole thing is advocacy and protest. Just the same, I’m not going to take issue with scientists going to conferences, where they discuss the latest climate science and green technologies and projections, and issue joint statements calling for changes.
