There is a difference between those who want to learn and those who refuse it. No one changed my mind but myself - pursuing it of my own accord. If someone comes to me genuinely, I am more likely to speak nicely about it, but those who come for the sake of argument will receive dogma.
I will, however, forgive no one that wished me to lose my job or wished ill upon myself or my family.

You didn't read any books, listen to any podcasts or any arguments from anyone else? You came up with everything on your own? I get that you mentioned this to show the difference between you and other people, but I am mentioning this because I think you're not aware how easy it is to get subconsciously influenced.
For example, people tend to think that advertisement doesn't affect them but when it comes to the split-second decision if you buy X or Y, you will buy the thing you have already seen before and you won't even notice that you made this decision.

Mhh, okay, that's a nuance I can get behind. See? You convinced me by not being dogmatic and explaining the details, lol.

I get that but you don't have to get down to the same level and embrace dogmas yourself
good territory choice btw, this post is definitely ~based

The global scientific communities overwhelming consensus is that we should be afraid.
That we need to take urgent and collective action to prevent devastating changes in the climate.
Libertarians prefer to deny all the science and evidence than accept a situation where government might have an essential role in preserving a safe global environment.

All for healthy skepticism but not so much blind cynicism.
The evidence is overwhelming that climate change is real and dangerous...and caused by humans.

The science of GHGs causing climate change is over 100 years old...and very firmly established.
It is now demonstrable and evidenced in the world.
The bounds of Libertarian denial of facts and science seems unlimited.
Skepticism is healthy but cynicism can be blind and dangerous.
