I've talked personally to climatologists. My mother minored in meteorology. I've read the articles, I've watched the documentaries, I've seen Bill Nye.

Is this satire? It has to be satire.

The first paragraph was candid self evaluation and my personal speculation. The second paragraph was commentary on politicians and political agenda. I could have written the 2nd paragraph better. The sheep I meant to represent are those who adopt the narratives of these political agendas without realizing that that is what they have done. They have unknowingly joined a political agenda. And it's absolutely both sides, left and right.

The topic of climate change has unfortunately become a tool for politicians, whether it be the right or left. This is bad. It is bad because it muddies the water, it muddies the the real scientific facts, what what those facts suggest. I honestly didn't mean to only suggest that those who subscribe to global warming were sheep. Rather, it's both sides pushing a narrative for an agenda. To buy into a narrative because "the experts said so" isn't always a good idea. Personal exploration, research, and observation are very important. Even "scientific consensus" needs to be weighed and judged soberly. Very much, "Scientific consensus" can, and does change over time.

There was "scientific consensus" in that 80s that because of the polar ice caps melting, newyork would be underwater by now...
