All IMO
Perhaps many simply believe a narrative even those who have such education and mining experience. It doesnt make them critical thinkers who can challenge the narratives. It can make them sheep who dont ask tough questions that disagree with their educational bias

ask how can a small increase in C02 from a minuscule base, actually trap significantly more heat thermodynamically. You are asking a tiny ,, tiny thing, with a tinny tinny bit more to be responsible for increasing the heat well of the entire atmosphere.

I believe that the world temps as proven by the other scientists who yes, went to uni as well, who look at their own measurements, that have said ranged higher and lower over cycles for thousands of years. And it depends where you are in the saw tooth trend to realize that you are not necessarily heading in the direction you thought you were when you just look nearsighted.

If we take it from the alarmists that we are in a warming trend, but dont look to blame C02 for it IMO. That is just political. And shifting manufacturing, cheap power to China. Shutting down your coal fired power, to replace with intermittent wind, only increases your power bill when you pay for the transmission lines. And allows china to build multitudes more coal fire power, so they can be the clever ones with cheap reliable power. And the world still turns over. The sun still rises, and sets. Meanwhile all that minuscule change in C02 is just great for plant growth. Many in industrial greenhouses actually increase the c02 levels so they get better crops. Go figure.

All the green religion, has called for the world cataclysm every couple of decades, but it never happens, and its just a new bunch of sheep who then believe their next target date. But its always only 10-15 years until the sky falls in. Or earth freezes over, or oceans boil. Its religion. Its not based on fact. Its based on insignificantly attached coincidence and who knows what modelling is only as good as the assumptions are being fed into it. A pacific sand island erodes, yet that sand it simply deposited elsewhere. Its not the oceans rising to that degree, its the erosion and displacement of sand. etc. But that wont stop some greenie saying look, this island village is disappearing. !! And its all CO2s fault !!!

Rather, perhaps the greater contributor to larger picture of temp cycles, the worlds temps is effected by the SUN. A nuclear fusion furnace. Or maybe our orbit around it has some millennial level variances?. Or do greenies just think that it has a constant output, like their plug in electric heater ? Its a bit more complicated than that.

But the Village witch doctors or village idiots, whichever, will point to the thing they they see shifting, and blame that. No matter how minuscule it is. Even thought that it is consumed in a natural cycle with vegetation, and the oceans act as sponges that can capture and release C02 as well.

Let me just finish with one self diagnostic question.
Do you believe that governments lie to you ?
