Ok, you are asking me about several topics. First, is “global warming” (you know I do prefer “climate change”) a fact? Here we can discuss relative truth vs. absolute truth. I hate it when somebody tells be that it is a fact. The data demonstrate that there is such phenomenon. And there is an acute risk that the impact of this phenomenon will bear high costs for the society in the future. We should act because of this perceived risk, and not because of some “fact”. Second question is about propaganda. You see, if any kind of relative truth is given to masses as an absolute truth – this is propaganda. People should not believe in “global warming” – like they believe in afterlife, or heaven. They should learn the risks and impact. And propaganda replaces knowledge with beliefs. But this is of course just my thoughts and another subjective truth.
