So, on what do you actually base your skepticism?

I think it's not so much that I'm a skeptic that "something's happening", but maybe more that man is primarily the cause. But even more than that, I see no real "solution" being offered, and no real cost/benefit analysis.
I just am amused at how these guys are like cultists with this --- if you have any questions whatsoever, you're either the stupidest person on the planet, or you're lying, or you're....
They just amuse me.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Yup, I was right.
And, again, you kinda sorta left out the qualifier that it have "any reasonable assurance that such cost would result in 'the avoidance of the destruction of life on the planet'".
We've been here before, and you have never been able to come up with
"this is what needs to be done,
this is what it will cost,
and this is what the result will be".
That's all I've ever asked for.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
