I sincerely appreciate your comment and your willingness to read through a potentially bad paper - many people are not willing to do that, so a heartfelt thanks. Alas no, I'm not in environmental research. But seeing how quickly my previous post died is somewhat telling of how the challenge-the-climate-theory topic is received here.. Bury rather than consider a different (and admittedly potentially wrong) opinion.
I get why mafia is received wrongly but I don't think it's over stated. If you [collective] look at how much money pushes the topic, it's hard to say that it's not powerful. Just looking at the number of private jets at the climate conferences is somewhat telling too.
How many speakers are there at those climate conferences that challenge the classic notion of we're all gonna freeze (20-30y ago) to we're all gonna drown (10y ago) to it's getting more extreme on both ends (nowadays)? I was brought up with all of them and yes climate is changing in some ways but change has been a constant with or without man.. Not looking to argue, you can have your opinions and cite your facts, I'm just saying the mainstream opinions and the constant cross-citing didn't convince me.
Just for reference, I'm not wearing a tin hat, nor do I think the world is flat and I love people of all faiths and backgrounds.

It is pointless to point out these _everyone's gonna die in 4 years due to climate change news published every few years since 19xx_ to climate warriors. They are idealists who bring upon disaster in the world with their moral high ground path. They refuse to understand how to cooperate with the masses, how their good lies made people jaded over these years and now they are even more mad because there are more "climate deniers" (even tho that's because of their own actions)
When people like you and me, who think logically and bring this up, we are illiterate, climate deniers, right wing Nazi etc.
The climate change... Mafia? You make it sound like the group is so powerful. If it were, I think we'd see more change around here.
Instead of a Mafia are you sure it's not just inertia? There is a lot of data and evidence for both climate change and evolution. Any theories going a different direction would need to show some exceptionally good evidence to the contrary if you wanted it to be taken seriously. That seems perfectly normal to me. If you published a paper stating that eclipses were harbingers of doom, I would want to see some exceptionally clear evidence simply because it refutes so much established science. It's not impossible; such change has happened before, but again, only with solid evidence.
That aside, are you speaking from personal experience here? Or are you just projecting? If you actually have a paper you tried publishing I'd like to read it.
