Global warming’s not our fault—solar cycles and cosmic rays drive climate shifts, not your car’s exhaust.
— Willie Soon, astrophysicist
The mainstream hysteria focus is almost entirely on carbon dioxide—a tiny fraction linked to human activity—while far greater factors are ignored. I mean, how arrogant must you be to think that your actions around the house are more powerful than the sun?
The CO₂ emitted by humans is incredibly small—only 3.4% of 96.6% which itself accounts for 3.6% of all atmospheric gases. In other words, human-produced CO₂ is almost non-existent.
Geoengineering is, of course, real but I'm not sure about its global impact. I'll concede that this is a hotly debated topic.

Nonetheless, I would caution against falling into the 'everything is geoengineering' trap because it kinda plays into the man-made climate change narrative.
Remember that Earth's climate has been changing for thousands of years.
The hockey stick graph’s a fraud—manipulated data fuels the myth that humans are cooking the planet.
— Steve McIntyre, statistician
Think of global warming like this: If the sun vanished tomorrow, Earth’s temperature would plummit and all life would end.
Within weeks.
Game over.
