When I say climate change I more so mean man made climate change, which he very much denies.
Your only real reason to be skeptical is because the scientist might be biased? That's just insane.
It's not "too sacred" to question, it has simply just been answered already. 97% of scientist agree that man made activity is causing climate change. If you don't believe them, then I simply can't convince you.

Do you often allow the thoughts in other people's heads to control what you think, or just the ones that wear a white coat?
Why is it insane to question scientist?
Do you think it's insane to question the "research" from scientists who are funded by the tobacco industry and claim there is no link between smoking and cancer?
Do you think it's insane to question the "research" from soda companies which claim there is no connection between obesity and consuming their sugary drinks?
What if I paid a hall full of scientists to claim the sky was red... would that make it true?
