Oh, that's easy! I lost my job in the late seventies to global cooling.
That made me a sceptic. The grand data points on whatever graph you're
selling have been collected by "climatologists" since then, when they
learned that being a compliant "climatologist" means big bucks from
taxpayer funding [government grants] if they can sell a program that
benefits the various governments. Keep the populace afraid, and control
them with blather and points on a questionable graph.
Climate change is ongoing since our planet first formed.
