Academic fraud is an easy charge to level at people. Especially if one lacks even basic understanding of the science.
When fraud is abundant to the point of overwhelming, as it is among the Gaia Cult, it's difficult to write off.
The most insidious aspect of the fraud that is the Gaia Cult is that it's institutional. When I earned my Sc.D. I was free to concentrate on the subject of my study. While my team and I worked with advisers, often to gain access to great minds (such as Dr. Goldratt); There was no room at that stage for forced recitation of myth and religious dogma. No classes, no grades, no Marxist professors.
However, during grad school I was forced to repeat the mantras of your religion often. To bring up the glaring fraud and inconsistencies in the Church of Gaia and the holy glowbull warming was to risk reprisals from Marxist professors, who held grades hostage to religious conformity. I'm Delta Mu Delta, grades mattered to me.
How many convert to your religion under such indoctrination is hard to say. Many other build contempt for your Priests and Shamans.
If we look at this scientifically, what is your religion? What is the foundational aspect of it? The volcano god, one of the oldest cons on the books.
6,000 years ago the mountain not far from the village began to smoke. The villagers were filled with fear as sometimes the ground would shake and there was a strange smell of sulfur in the air. The village shaman stepped forward and declared that he knew what was causing the mountain to smoke and the ground to shake.
"The Volcano God is ANGRY at your sins," he declared. "You have too much and live too easy, you don't suffer." he continued. "you must atone by bringing me the best of your crops and your herds, and of course your virgin daughters so that I can sacrifice them to the volcano god."
The villagers resisted, but the smoke grew worse over months and fissures began to break open, and all were afraid. The Shaman continued to say that he could stop it all, if the villagers gave him their most precious attachments. Finally the villagers relented. The Shaman ate like a king, raped and eventually murdered their daughters, until one night the volcano erupted and killed everyone.
And THIS is anthropogenic global warming.
The volcano was real, but the villagers had no impact on it. There was no Gaia, no volcano god. The Shaman was a fraud POLITICALLY manipulating fear to enrich himself.
For 4.7 billion years, the one constant to the climate of planet Earth is change. Human activity has close to zero impact on it. There is no Gaia, the planet is NOT sentient and is NOT punishing us for being too wealthy - that's just oligarchs who seek to rule others. The AGW priests and shamans are FRAUDS, every last fucking one of them, engaged in politics to enrich themselves.
Science? What the fuck does science have to do with global warming? This is a 100% political scam.
