climate change is a legitimate concern - especially as it affects poor nations.
however, the subject has been twisted by greedy global elites resulting in disappointments (if you wish to call them that!

(not cool to call it global warming anymore, new light, etc")
Your denialism is fully 11 years past its sell by date. Get some current bullshit.
Scientists have always used climate change and global warming more or less interchangeably. In 2002 it was Republican strategist Frank Luntz who suggested avoiding 'global warming' and using 'climate change' as this was likely to be more acceptable to the Republican audience.

religious denial of climate change:
http://www.cornwallalliance.org/articles/read/an-evangelical-declaration-on-global-warming/
WHAT WE DENY
- We deny that Earth and its ecosystems are the fragile and unstable products of chance, and particularly that Earth’s climate system is vulnerable to dangerous alteration because of minuscule changes in atmospheric chemistry. Recent warming was neither abnormally large nor abnormally rapid. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human contribution to greenhouse gases is causing dangerous global warming.
- We deny that alternative, renewable fuels can, with present or near-term technology, replace fossil and nuclear fuels, either wholly or in significant part, to provide the abundant, affordable energy necessary to sustain prosperous economies or overcome poverty.
- We deny that carbon dioxide—essential to all plant growth—is a pollutant. Reducing greenhouse gases cannot achieve significant reductions in future global temperatures, and the costs of the policies would far exceed the benefits.
- We deny that such policies, which amount to a regressive tax, comply with the Biblical requirement of protecting the poor from harm and oppression.

Climate change scientists and hucksters have many disciples who manifest more of a religous fervor than a scientific interest.Explains the emotional component of believers who simply cannot abide those who are skeptical. "deniers" are the apostates.
next up - Glander describes how to play the man, not the ball.

@SBF
James Lovelock is another climate change doom-monger who has retracted his more extreme views. There is a lot of politics, money and dare I say it superstition involved in scientific pronouncements. It's foolish to imagine otherwise.
You're just cherry-picking. He has "retracted his more extreme views" towards mainstream climate science. He still believes humans are driving a warming planet.
Nothing to see here.

Climate scientists generally aren't the elite but that doesn't mean their results can't be guided in a particular direction
OK glad that you have 'generally' excluded scientists from your elite. But, specifically how does this 'guiding' happen? Please give a few examples of how this guiding works on an every day basis.
Does a scientist about to publish a paper for peer review get an email from a global elitist suggesting a few changes etc?

@cantleave
The predictions they make are based on evidences extracted from the data.
The denier community aren't interested in how the scientific method encourages predictions to be modified with new information. They prefer a world of certainty based on ideology, rather than one with a range of outcomes and probabilties.

You are free to make any hard prediction you wish concerning climate doom and we can judge your 'facts' thereby.
I predict that conspiracy theorists will prophesy a climate of doom until the global elite establish a new world order.

Just trawled a round a few next-gen JW's back in my old neck of the woods up in Scotland - kids of my gen really. Couple of things stood out:
1 - some serious FB'ers in there - 800+ friends on one of them
2 - not connected to their parents typically, who are maybe more 'religious' about not being on FB
3 - most of them have 'worldy' friends
4 - a lot of young married couples with wedding pics for profile - fair enough, just stood out a bit for some reason
5 - varying levels of privacy settings - most were open, although some you couldn't see their profile pic and had to message them - friend requests blocked
I friend requested a few that I would genuinely like to hear from.
If a tipping point gets breached with TTATT my goodness its going to be an overnight bloodbath - the level of connected-ness now is pervasive.
