Now I understand why they teach lies in school, most children wouldn't understand a bit of how it actually works. I'm glad therefor though that this video exists. It's crazy though that such an issue so many people 'worry' about or 'lobby' for, a thing that so many people believe in, isn't understood by any of them. I suppose this is innately a human thing. Where, if you accept you are not smart enough to understand it, you put trust in people smarter than you. However unfortunately people smarter than you also make mistakes or misrepresent or even lie. On the other hand there's people that do think they're smart enough, yet don't have the full picture at all. We are only human after all.

I may not understand the process. But I do understand a simple concept. Which is, if you (nearly) fully understand something, you can make reliable predictions. Like with the way the stars move around us, we can simulate it. But so far, we still cannot reliably predict climate change nor even tomorrows weather or often not even that in the next hour. So I will not put my money and effort in an issue that the brightest minds don't understand. And especially all the politics around it is a big red flag for me, where they all make vastly unfounded claims and pretend to understand it. Regardless I am ALWAYS frugal with the environment and the resources it offers us. Simply because I'd like for our environment to stay healthy and supply our future generations with resources. Don't need to believe in anthropogenic climate change for that.
