The consequences of our pollution are pretty clear: an ocean of plastic bags, fish stocks running out, record extinction of wildlife, record rainforest clearing, soil and water degradation, and an overheating planet.
Ocean of plastic bags? the Pacific gyre repeats.
Fish stocks running out? Perhaps put some blame on the Chinese with their vast fishing fleets. The Pacific nations made a deal and got stuck.
Record extinction of wildlife? Only on a model based on the number of unknown species that must have been wiped out because we didn't know about them.
Record rain forest clearing? Something to blame man for. But clearing for palm oil plantations is the sole prerogative of the host countries. Clearing for food as well.
Soil and water degradation? You mean like those countries that can't afford deep wells and the electricity to draw it up?
An overheating planet? Really? Such arrant nonsense. It has been warmer in the past and we didn't die out. Neither did the poor poley bears and penguins.

You believe this is some leftist, Soros-funded agenda. The rest of us can see it with our own eyes.
I am not sure what you see with your own eyes. It doesn't seem to be much.You seem to accept everything on faith. The High Church of AGW.

The only grey areas here are the ones you seek to insert
Oh you mean like the climate science that says the net effect of clouds on temperature is likely positive? That kind of grey area?

As the human population grows and develops, we can't throw out our rubbish. Economic development means more cars on the road, more urban development, more air conditioners, more meat and fish consumption and even more plastic bags. This development is happening now faster than at any other time in history. Of course it's having an effect on the planet.
And nowhere have I said any different. You know the one great source of energy in the world that we don't use because of fear mongers? Nuclear power. If we closed coal fired power station it would save an enormous amount. But it has to be cheap and reliable.Something neither solar or wind are. That's why they need battery backup or fossil fuel backup.

You don't believe the science. Instead, you look for excuses to prove it wrong.
But that is the role of science. It is scientists trying to disprove a theory or hypothesis. Not a consensus that it must be right. If scientists won't do it every thinking person has to look at it. Even citizen scientists.

You're free to have your views, but you can't possibly defend them with science.
And yet I have. The uncertainties are so large you could drive two Haulpaks side by side through them. Sorry, that is an exaggeration exactly as you use them.

You're left, I'm afraid, with that increasingly popular phenomenon: FAKE news.
So now Nature magazine, Science Direct etc are fake news sites?
You could of course provide peer-reviewed articles that debunk what I have said; instead of relying on your gut instinct. Strange you haven't done that to support your views.
