100% correct Everything that needed to be figured out was done so by the 1950’s. I’m seeing the effects of government science trickle down all the way to your own house, they make you jump through green hoops to get housing developments approved including $30k for “green roofs”

Ask yourself how they managed to decide to study global warming/climate change. How do you look at daily tidal and temperature fluctuations and say “I bet these were lower 10,000 years ago” It’s a solution in search of a problem
