Agreed. And that can apply to both sides of any debate.
I find it interesting how we can take a side of an "expert" we know little about and have never met but can condemn another with a different point of view, whom we know little about and have never met.
IMO the climate thing can be a compete fabrication to make rich people richer or be a very real threat to us and our planet. I find it odd how any of us who have no background on the subject can completely nail their colours to one mast and totally dismiss the other.

I have full trust in billionaire weirdos, especially Bill Gates. The man who has so much control over world health. The same man who was great mates with Jeffrey Epstein

Some of the most powerful, influential and wealthiest people in the history of the species are so because of oil and gas. So the idea that climate change is a scam dreamt up by billionaires just doesn't stand up

Thats hugely naive Mark. There is always the next thing..
Whatever happens, Oil and Gas have had their day. Renewables and electricity are now the driving force and are already billion dollar industries.
Ask those who have electric cars or heat pumps - the prices to run those started low as an incentive. Now the costs to run are rising and will continue to do so. When they soon become the sole way to heat your home and to drive your car the prices will be open to exploitation to benefit investors in that industry. As someone in the gas and oil trade, this is clearly happening already.

If you don't think climate change is a thing just look out your door. We're just going to have to get user to much more eractic weather in this country. Also think you'll get climate refugees too with forest fires and floods happening to people closer to the equator.

Overpopulation is what is causing the problem. And reducing the ability to deal with it.
Any point through time that things get better, humanity just breeds to a point where problems come again.
People lived in near starvation until agricultural methods were developed and then, instead of everyone living comfortably, they bred like rabbits and all got hungry again.
If we can solve the climate issue, there will be a population boom and some other existential crisis will present itself.
Dispassionately, the only hope for the world is a big war, pandemic or famine to thin the population out.

Or people getting older. By the middle of the century there will be a peak in world populations and then it will drastically drop again.

I think there needs to be a massive thinning out, all at once.
Any gradual reduction in population which makes the world more liveable will just result in a population increase to bring us back to uncomfortable levels.
I studied Thomas Malthus in Geography lessons in school.
I initially thought that Covid was going to be one of his population control events. If it had rapidly wiped out half the world’s population, particularly targeting older people as initially suggested, you can bet that man made climate change would have decreased.

No doubt it would have resulted in untold human misery. But I’ve stated above that, dispassionately, it is a solution to the climate crisis.
Buying a €100k Tesla, a €2k carbon fibre bicycle, recycling all your rubbish, and having four kids isn’t the answer. It just allows people to feel good about themselves.
And not having four kids isn’t great either because an ageing population requires a production line beneath them to support them into their old age.
I don’t foresee the end of humanity, or the end of earth, but I do think there will be a large population shock, which will bring numbers down, make the world more livable and then there will be a period of growth back up to an unsustainable level once more.
There’s no doubt though that that population shock will consist of billions of tragedies and mournings.

Weather has been poxy this year so far. Very cold and wet even for here.
The once tropical west coast has been decimated by chilly winds.
