One is just you rejecting it out of hand because you don't like it


There's plenty of research on that. Scientists are really good at this stuff. Sorry you don't like the data. Take a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_temperature_record

Two, see the reference below. Government funding for science wasn't even a thing in the 1800s, but they got the same answers we're getting today. This isn't complicated science. CO2 molecules absorb IR radiation and vibrate more (heat up). That's how they trap heat. Do you disagree with that premise? Because that's tantamount to saying gravity doesn't exist or that living beings aren't comprised of DNA.

"That carbon dioxide trapped heat was uncontroversial. Irish scientist John Tyndall (possibly drawing on the work of an American, Eunice Foote) had shown that it did back in the mid-1800s.

In 1895, Swedish Nobel prize winner Svante Arrhenius had suggested that – over hundreds of years – the build-up of carbon dioxide released when humans burn oil, coal and gas might trap so much heat as to melt the tundra and make freezing winters a thing of the past."

We're not hundreds of years out, but Arrhenius got the science right in terms of warming of the Earth before we even understood quantum mechanics. The tundra of course actually is thawing right now and winters are warmer than they used to be even in my lifetime.

Three, I could propose lots of solutions, but I'm not trying to convince you of anything other than the fact that humans are releasing CO2 and CO2 causes the global temperature to rise, which is causing climate change. Nobody will even consider any solutions if they reject the fundamental science, which is what you're doing.
