Yes, NASA was funded to collect the actual data until Trump arrived. The facts don’t care if you don’t like them and they don’t go away if you cover your eyes like a child and pretend they’re not there.

No the facts appear to be that you don't know how climate works.

Why are you so passionate about this issue, what's in it for you anyway?

Do you stand to make millions off of oil and gas? If not, why are you arguing for the side that wants to let the world burn?

Oddly I think it’s you who have fallen pray to propaganda.

I like what Eric Weinstein said about climate change:

The fact that we do not have much historical data and good verifiable models to understand how the planet climate behaves under large changes in parameters (CO2 emission, etc.) makes it even more important and urgent to act. We never know at what moment the system will cross the threshold, and damage becomes irreversible, and planet destruction accelerates.

Have a look yourself in a model created from physical principles:

(Expect a stationary state to take at least 50 years to run after starting or disturbance (such as changing incoming radiation or CO2) since the ocean model is a mixed layer and takes a while to equilibrate. In the real world the ocean mixing time is ~1000 years though.)
