Hannah… loved the piece! Agree 100% with all of it. Beautifully said and produced. Well done. Thank you.

Question, though…. Or maybe a few questions for you.

You state, at the 11:22 mark, “I personally think climate change is real.”

Is the “climate change” which you believe is real…. Is THIS “climate change” a “climate crisis”, in your opinion?

Is the “climate change” which you believe is real…. Is this really “global warming” that you believe is real? Or is it both? Do you conflate the two or separate the two in your mind?

Do you believe a warming earth is the driver/cause of climate change?

Do you believe that anthropogenic (AP) CO2 is THE cause of a warming earth?

If so, subsequent and adjacent to this, do you believe that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are causing climate change?

Do you know that both the climate alarmist zealots AND the denier/skeptics (where I am) camps BOTH believe the climate is changing, has changed, and will continue to change. This is NOT in dispute between these two groups.

What IS in dispute are the causes or THE cause of current climate changing conditions. On the climate zealot side, the climate changes seen since the industrial revolution which started in the late 1800’s are ALL anthropogenic based and caused from the burning of wood, coal, gas, and oil.

On the skeptic side, their evidence says… nope. Everything we’ve experienced from the industrial revolution to now is do to natural earthly, epochal cycles. AP CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels has very little to nothing to do with the variations in weather we have seen since the start of the industrial revolution which started in the mid 1800’s.

This may sound like an oversimplification of the “climate change” issue. IMHO, it is not. It’s just my version of attempting to put the thing into a nutshell.
