I have looked at alot of articles and "data" from both sides and I am not convinced........sorry.
I have to look at who is getting paid off and who is in it for the science. It seems pretty clear to me.
Temperatures have increased 0.74 degrees Celsius / 1.33 degrees Fahrenheit in 100 years and the overwhelming consensus among the smart MFs who study those things is that the rate is unprecedented in global history. The data is convincing enough to suggest a precautionary policy.
A) We conserve energy & seek alternatives without ending human life as we know it and without spinning the world into economic chaos, then we find out they were wrong. Result - we have longer to go before coming to a screeching halt with available fossil-fuel reserves.
B) We keep ignoring the data and then we find out that they were right but it's too late to do anything about it. Result - flooding, famine, primitive living conditions and global civil warfare where most people (even in the US) die horrible deaths and the rest live under martial law and barely maintain on strict rationing of the basic subsistence goods.
