As a rule, I will not debate climate science with anyone. I'm not qualified; and mpore than likely either are you.

Generally, to become a Professor in Climate Science you first have to complete a 4 year Bachelor of Science at University, often followed by a Masters (1 to 2 years) then a Doctorate (4 to 8 years) which will focus intensely on a specific area of expertise, then usually a Post-Doctorate (another 4 to 8 years), again focussing intensely on one element of the science they want to be an expert on.

The fact that some people feel qualified to challenge the findings of these people because they've been "doing a lot of research" (watching YouTube and reading blogs) is a text book example of the Dunning Kruger Effect in action.

We as a society have for centuries developed a means of selecting our brightest young minds and leading them into a vocation of study and academia so that they may advance our civilisation. These minds are speaking in unison and without stuttering, yet we now suddenly seek to refute their findings out of sheer arrogance and inconvenience.

So if you don't have so much as a Science Undergraduate Degree, not only do you definitely not understand climate science, you also don't understand how complex climate science is... which ironically is why you think you understand it.

So again, I will not debate climate science with you. I'm not qualified to dissect the graph you googled, I can't explain the anomaly in the YouTube video you found, and to be brutally honest I don't even really understand how CO2 is causing our planet to warm... but I know literally every respected scientific body and academic institution in the World does.

I find it overwhelmingly more likely that they are right and you are wrong than vice versa... but what would they know... You found a graph on the internet.

I have posted no graph. You are confused and have mistaken me for another. You will not argue climate science with me but you will make ad hominem attacks.

I would normally not mention the following but since you impugn my education and would explain to me the basic academic degree structure, I will defend myself. I have a Masters Degree from a well-known university and that degree included about six undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics so I understand how that imperfect instrument of science can be manipulated. No, my degree is not in climate science.

I find it overwhelmingly more likely that they are right and you are wrong than vice versa... but what would they know... You found a graph on the internet.

"They"?. You speak as if all climate scientists agree but that is absolutely incorrect. Many do not agree with lil mentally disturbed and emotional rather than scientific Greta. But I will not argue climate science with you since you are incapable of knowing if you have lost.

weird how you won't mention said well-known university's name, and what your supposed Master's is in. And I clearly stated I am not qualified to argue that point with an educated person. sorry your education didn't let you read the first line of my post. Seems unlikely that you have any clue to what your talking about, you can't even seemingly understand a sentence. As for climate scientists agreeing with Greta, a simple google search shows more agree with her then don't. So I will stick with majority thanks

you have any clue to what your (sic) talking about

The contraction form of you are is you're even if you use 24 point bold text. Most high school graduates know that. You seem to be quite emotional about this particular topic.

Sure cause that what this about, grammar. I guess your master's degree from alleged college was really good at English. Please promote your school, PLEASE.
