This is all correct. However, just because people are trying to massage data to show a strong trend in a certain direction, doesn't mean that there is no trend. It just means that they're corrupt and lazy and you shouldn't pay attention to them.

Climate change is a hypothetical that, if true, bodes poorly for our success. And fossil fuels are running out anyway, so what's the harm in trying to mitigate our reliance on those?

There is no harm if that is what people voluntarily choose to use for energy. The harm comes from the government forcing people to use a certain form of energy. Eventually fossil fuels will become rare and subsequently more expensive and solar will become cheaper. Until that happens though, forcing people to use more expensive forms of energy will harm poor people the most because they will not be able to afford it and will have side effects of making all things more expensive.

People will naturally move away from fossil fuels when it is economically viable. The government needs to get out of the way

That has not been proven.

My point was there is no economic harm if people are choosing something like solar for whatever reason. There is harm if people are being forced to use it

Economic harm is a subset of all harm. Please specify in future.

Cool, I actually explained it if you kept reading and didn't nitpick wording.

Did you? Where? If you did, I really need to work on my reading comprehension skills! :-)
