You plural, the combined effects, simply won't believe any evidence.
I appreciate you saying I made a viable argument.
But don't tell me that.  Tell FSG. That way you won't end up lumped in with him next time.

Lol, you got me all wrong man. I don't discount climate change, it's real and always been real. What I discount is the alarmism inherent in the modern climate movement. People say extreme things (like it's never been hotter) that are easily disproven and then wonder why people don't take them seriously. Or they make predictions (neh prophecies) about the end of all life as we know it if we don't give them all our money while they continue to live the high life crusading to save the world. And why we should keep listening to the Profits when they've been wrong on just about every prediction since the 1960s is something I don't understand. You're not dumb but man have they hooked you.

Just to skip to the end of the conversation, I don't agree with everything that climate activists say, just as you don't agree with everything that climate denialists say.  
I don't think these changes in climate are likely to cause extinction of humans.  We are too crafty, and too adaptable, and we will have a breeding population clinging to life somewhere on earth regardless of plausible changes to global climate. 
But I do think war and famine and pestilence on a scale not seen since the 1300s is likely.  And I think reasonable steps can be taken to mitigate it.  Among those steps are things environmentalists oppose, like nuclear power, atmospheric albedo modification, and ocean seeding.  The cost of the latter two is actually negligible and not likely to affect your life at all.  In fact we might have more, better, and cheaper seafood after seeding the ocean.  But only a government can authorize and organize that effort.
