Where shall I begin?

The climate change agenda is just another way to introduce Marxism into our society.
My view on climate change has historically been that I suspected it was a fairly natural cyclical transition of our planet, and that our emissions & actions where perhaps speeding the cycle up. My view is now shifting to it being purely natural and we're not speeding it up.

It's essential to consider various perspectives when examining a complex issue like climate change. While there are differing opinions, the overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that climate change is real, primarily human-driven, and poses significant risks to ecosystems and societies.
Here are some sources representing both sides of the argument:
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): The IPCC is the leading international body assessing climate change, and their reports represent the scientific consensus on the issue. Their assessments are based on thousands of studies and are reviewed by experts worldwide. The IPCC's reports provide extensive evidence that climate change is primarily driven by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. You can find their latest reports at: www.ipcc.ch...
NASA's Global Climate Change website: This site offers comprehensive information on the evidence, causes, effects, and potential solutions related to climate change. It includes data from various sources, including satellite observations, that support the consensus view that climate change is real and driven mainly by human activities. The website is available at: climate.nasa.gov...
For alternative views that question the mainstream consensus on climate change, you can refer to the following sources:
CO2 Coalition: As you mentioned, the CO2 Coalition is a group that argues that CO2 emissions are not harmful and may even be beneficial for the planet. Their reports and publications can be found at: co2coalition.org...
The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF): The GWPF is a UK-based think tank that questions the extent and severity of climate change and opposes many climate policies. They publish articles, reports, and briefings that offer alternative perspectives on climate change. Their website is available at: www.thegwpf.org...
Please keep in mind that it is important to critically evaluate the credibility and scientific rigor of sources on both sides of the argument. The scientific consensus supporting the reality and severity of human-driven climate change is based on extensive evidence and research, but it's always helpful to consider various perspectives when forming your own opinion.a reply to: TurkeyGoose

That's the chart that needs refuting. The temperature vs the gray line off carbon emissions.
Things I noticed.
In 1880 we released only 31% less Co2 (around 290 ppm) than the 416 in 2020. That's really not enough of an increase to explain the temperature rise proportionally. By making the range 280-420 I feel they can make it look like it correlates closer. The gray line is way more gradual. It would look more like two unrelated data sets on one chart.
The cooling trend on that chart ended around 1910. At about 300 ppm of output. The entirety of the runaway warming trend of 1.4 degrees above 20th century average was accomplished by a 27% increase in carbon emissions. Which hit the peak of this graph the year of the pandemic.
I want to side with the roundly discredited people using the argument temperature increase may PROCEED Co2 output.
In any case that's a very misleading graph. And it's the official .gov graph too.

Those who refute AGW are the ones with an agenda. Ask yourself who is least affected (personally) by flood, drought, famine, mass migration, food shortages, increased foot prices ..... And who has the most to gain by continuing to selling oil and coal.
