They trashed my trust, because they doctored the data, and as an engineer ansd science guy that is unforgivable. That doesn't mean I'm going to pollute because I can, it means I will do my part because it is the right thing to do and because I want to. I have to live in this world as well. Your last statement we agree on totally. The ecosystem need time and space to adapt. That is my reasoning for the steps I take personally and the message I pass to others.

No, what has happened is that a few scientists, of the thousands around the globe working on it, were caught doing unethical but largely irrelevant stuff.
The data is out there, and I've yet to see anyone actually getting the data and saying warming doesn't exist. Yes, there is a minority but significant position that man made CO2 has a very small impact. But there is no position that it has no impact, as that would be akin to saying that CO2 is a perfect conductor.
