I think it's most important that we do what we're told and embrace the wisdom of ESG and net-zero, brought to us by people who do the exact opposite. The end could come any day now, don't you know?

It's also important to use extreme terms like "1.5 degrees hotter" and stead of "1.5 degrees warmer" so we fear the consequences of disobedience more.

So you don't think it's important to stop anthropogenic climate change, or you just don't like the messengers?

Both. It's an exaggerated problem, exaggerated by grifters.

Not according to the authorities on the field, when you disagree with the conclusions of the scientific community in general that have evidence to prove those conclusions that would make you wrong.

Do you mean the climate modellers when you use the word "authorities"? How have the ice-free arctic predictions by 2015 work out? How can they be wrong one every prediction going back decades, and still be credible?

Can you read a chart? If so, you will easily see land and sea temperatures are increasing over time for around 100 years. So, the direction of the predicted climate change is obviously correct. The question is the magnitude of the future change. Unfortunately, even the changes we see today are...not good. You don't need to be a climate modeler to see that. If the trend continues, it will get worse, especially in already hot and dry places. What's so difficult about this?

When Putin stops his world war, I'll downsize my car once again.

LOL. The records go back to 1940.

"No it won't, hurr durr" announce world's online armchair experts.

Let's see the results after 50 years. Seems nobody cares that much because it doesn't impact their lives yet.

Do you mean the climate modellers when you use the word "authorities"?

No I mean the scientific authorities in the field, the experts that publish scientific information that have lead to progress continuously.

How have the ice-free arctic predictions by 2015 work out? 

Which scientific report made this supposed prediction? making up things is a very poor excuse to use instead of actual argument.

LOL. The records go back to 1940.

Valid extrapolations can be made without problem for much farther than that, if your argument is that you personally ignore something that does nothing to prove that something does not exist.
