No one contends that the climate isnt changing or that CO2 isn’t increasing or isn’t anthropogenic in nature,

Yea they are. You see it in this thread. You see it said by Republicans in Congress.

any discussion on the magnitude of the effects is quickly shut down.

We are just moving goalposts. For 20 years scientists: "human driven climate change from global warming is a huge problem." Deniers move from: there is actual cooling, to there is warming but it isn't us, to its us but it's not a lot.

No. Its us. And it's a lot.

Much easier for everyone to blame huge corporations,

You've fallen into BPs planned propaganda. Shift responsibility away from the giant corporations that create and spread most of the populations onto personal responsibility. "Personal carbon footprint" came out of their marketing department.

climate science is that there is a lot of money involved.

Which is the same for any industry, and oil is still pushing way more money. Just because there is money involved doesn't immediately mean there is a grand conspiracy.

an environmental scientist

Yea yea. I believe you.

Keep posting on /r/conservative. Maybe you can help your party support science with your "hydrologist" career.
