Where is the scepticism about corruptible data due to biased sponsorship?

2011's Climategate should give pause to your hysterical mindset.

Have all of your social circle implement the changes and monitor the data for a few decades to guage the effectiveness of your proposal.

Skepticism is important, but if we refrain from drawing conclusions and acting until all doubt is eliminated, then we'll never conclude or do anything. There are even reasons to be skeptical about ideas such as evolution and relativity.

However, there are many more reasons to be skeptical about the alternative theories for these phenomena. We also should be skeptical about the alternative theories of what is happening with our climate, and about the people who propogate those theories and their funding and agendas.

In my mind, the body of research is far too large to doubt due to inevitable flaws here and there, the expert consensus is overwhelming and far too broad and deep to be a conspiracy, and the predictions have been relatively accurate. If someone can provide a better model for our climate and what is happening, I'd be interested, but delaying action further is an unacceptable, unjustified risk with such high stakes and exceptional evidence.

So you are saying, wait twenty years to see if we are wrong?
