However if you examine the details, there is no such consensus. The 97% consensus is that man has some influence on the climate. That's it. Nothing more can be extrapolated from it. To use that figure to bolster claims that man's influence on the climate is significant and that it will lead to catastrophe is bogus and nothing more than propaganda.

It makes me wary of supporting anything that will cost trillions of dollars, if we are going to spend that sort of money, it should not be based on bs claims and propaganda.
For the second time, no, what you're doing is being specious and spurious and trying to muddy the waters.
