Its terrifying to think about these things bringing an end to our relatively stable and simple way of life. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to accept it. It's a lot to process even for the most well emotionally equipped of us. And even if anthro-climate is a myth, why wouldn't you do everything you could to keep our friends, family, etc from being exposed to toxins & keep their homes safe?

Climate change is big business and the fact that there are multiple businesses and agencies that have built their model on its existence means they need it to exist. It's so prevalent that we have companies that are "Green Washing" their products. The fact that data is being manipulated to prove that it exists even makes it more suspect and that funding is provided by big money and government so people can say "See we're doing something." Makes it all a self-licking ice cream cone.
As for simple way of life, are you talking 1st world simple or 3rd world simple? If we all go back to 3rd world we can definitely avoid chemicals and other 1st world issues, but I doubt many, including myself, want to live that way.
I'm all for clean living and eating from gardens where I produce my own food, but I'm not about to propagate the lie handed down from those that stand to make a profit by scaring the masses.
