The planet is not going to go away. However, the quality of life for people living here could go to Hell.
It all comes down to whether you believe in science and the motivations of scientists. Scientists are smart people. They can make money doing anything. I think Big Oil propaganda has all you right wingers twisted in a not. What is good science and what is superstition is why we have science in the first place.
The 97% consensus on global warming
And the other 3% are paid shills for Big Oil.

Science isn't really science anymore in the fact that certain things, whether true or false, will not be published if it in any way will effect the carrer of said scientist. Plus the political pressure put on some of them. If science was the way it should be, then we would have had all of Tesla's nifty gadgets way long ago. Plus who knows what other tech is being supressed.

The World will always need smart people. Scientists make money no matter what they publish. I don't think the scientists really care what the data says. Most of them are atheistic nihilists who are probably amused by the idea that their data is being ignored and humanity will destroy its own quality of life. It will just confirm the scientists bigotry that most people are morons.

The highlighted part is not true. There is only so much grant money out there, and they are all fighting for it. So to go against the grain, or publish an article that might be deemed unpopular by their peers GREATLY reduces the chances that further study gets funded.

I would say they are educated but smart ,not so much .I know some smart uneducated people who also do dumb things .Most if not all scientist have a bigger CO2 footprint mainly because of $$ . They fly around the world for conferences when they could do Skype or if they were smart find a way that produces less CO2 .
Scientists are smart people.
The earths population is at a all time record .We produce more food then we ever did .We have more hospitals and doctors then ever .We have better built homes ,roads ,and schools . Compared to the time of our for fathers I would say they were living in your "hell"
the quality of life for people living here could go to Hell.
What motivates scientist ? Do you think there could be different things at work in scientist ? maybe money ,maybe prestige ? Maybe some have altruistic reasons but my guess is not many . Scientist are constantly being quoted as saying they were surprised by what they found because they thought one thing and now they have to re-access the way they think . Things like animal species that have been extinct for millions of years that are still chugging along . Science text (what they say) is always being changed or adjusted to fit new ways of measuring or just thinking about things . I believe that science is a moving target .

LOL ...
They can make money doing anything.
There are a lot of left wingers that drive cars and travel in planes and trains .Use items made from fossil fuels and eat GMO's or crops fertilized with extracts from fossil fuels . Heck just look at Hollywood and the life of the rich and famous . You can't get any more left then them . Maybe they are just Big Oil Shills who like to lean left .
I think Big Oil propaganda has all you right wingers twisted in a not.

Meanwhile oil exploration, resource extraction, deforestation and pollution of the biosphere go unabated.
You aren't supposed to question why, you're just supposed to consume and die.
There I fixed that for you
They are dodging things that will work to profit from taxation. With lucrative grants for practicing at the Cult of AGW.

12 reasons why AGW alarmist are wrong discussed in the link. Not all are data oriented. Perhaps it is fair to say this is a bit tongue in cheek for the authors and myself. Enjoy all you lovers of true science but be advised there is not much science in the article. Just observations of failed predictions. Squirm oh those of the "Church of AGW".
dailycaller.com...
A few of those include,
Apocalyptic warnings on repeat
Prince Charles' global warming deadline passed with nothing happening
Frances's foreign minister gave us 500 days
Oh, the absurdity of some of these predictions. If only we could predict weather accurately for at least 7 days would I be happy with the task of forecasting..
