Climate Change isn't a law. I'm willing to believe there may be some truth to it, but don't you think it'd odd that you're not willing to even consider they are wrong?
Questioning things is the very basis of science. Questioning things where ridiculously huge sums of money are involved is the very basis of common sense.
First,that's not at all why they are called theories. Theories are well tested over many years, and often many different branches of science. So if you're trying to imply that theories are guesses, then you're on the wrong foot to begin with.
Secondly, questioning is indeed the basis of science....that's why you nearly never have 100% consensus by all scientists. That's why deniers try to claim that only 97% of scientists agree that human impact is contributing to climate change.
Thirdly, I could care less about the money, besides the overwhelming evidence supporting human contribution to climate change, there is the common sense aspect. There is no way with the amount of greenhouse gases we produce, and the emerging huge populations like India and China becoming ever more industrialized that we can NOT be having an impact.
