I thought the movie 'Climate the movie' was just a a simplistic ragbag of snippets, a technique that can be used to prove almost any thesis. I could make a similar movie to extoll the virtues of mRNA vaccines.A recent post pointed to the evidence in Switzerland by Dr Judith Curry. whose blog gives a much more balanced view. She accepts the basic thesis that increasing CO2 will inevitably warm the planet's surface and that the temperature trend is upward. This is just basic physics. What to do about it if anything, whose fault is it if anyone and does it matter are different matters. I have seen glaciers over my 50years of visiting the Himalayas, Andes, Ruwenzori etc in steady retreat, and the signal from nature in my own garden is that species now exist there that were once only resident in warmer climes.

In conversation, keep in mind that the false narrative is:

"We face a crisis of rapid destructive change of climate due to the use by humans of fossil fuel which commenced with the Industrial Revolution. It is caused by the carbon dioxide rising in the atmosphere and this gas by acting like a greenhouse is the primary cause of the global temperature which is being reported as rising dangerously - AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming)"

Always correct the topic, do not deny climate change but always bring it back to AGW

Then try and muster multiple lines of argument. Climate: The Movie provides an excellent collection of topics to use.
