I never know what to believe. I really dont trust studies anymore, and after the pandemic probably never again. Id like to see opposing science views fight it out with data , together, but the louder voices usually prevail these days and silence the others.
One thing I do know, man made or now - this was a crap winter for cold/snow. One of the worst, and I thought the worst was 2 years ago. And 2 years ago I thought the worst was the year prior. Ten years ago, a foot or three of snow wasnt uncommon for us. Heck when I was a kid, every picture of us during the winter was wrapped up like we were going to space with our sidewalks and driveway sides chest high with piled up snow. That same area hasnt seen more than 3" in probably 3 years.
Great example, search google for this very topic. You'll find all the big names, NPR, PBS, Sierra club, even a website called ExxonKnew...do you think anyone from these organizations do their own due diligence or do they just parrot what is being said? The answer is the latter.
Now dig and find opposing views...it's difficult. But here's one

Some offbeat offshoot publication ..nothing mainstream that would garner any sense of credibility into the mindless drones that our society has become.
We literally have become drones.
Think about the absolutely blind rage people have with politics, such extreme views being demonstrated with so little in between, or even the topic of vaccinations which should never be a touchy subject but somehow it is. We are being taught to FALL IN LINE or risk being 'cancelled' or discredited or labeled as fringe.
The media has become more powerful than anything else that ever exist. Any roman emperor or any US citizen. They control what you get to read, and what you dont, what you get to think and what you dont.
Again, could be all true but - where are the opposing views?
