I love how the final denier defense always resides in the most abject cynicism.
Are you saying I'm a denier? I wouldn't go that far. I plain just don't know.
I get most of my knowledge of the modern world through outlets that I cannot verify for accuracy. They may show me something on the news, and I guess I could just take their word for it. Then again, in several instances I've seen articles/topics covered in the media that I know were inaccurate, or covered/presented inaccurately. I'm not going to head up and look at the ice anytime soon. And if I did, I don't have any first-hand knowledge of how it differs from the past. I rely on others to help me there. Are they telling me the truth? Are they lying for personal or political gain? How do I know?
Is the globe really warming? I would tend to say yes, based on what I've heard and seen first-hand.
Is it due to man? Maybe. Again, I don't know. I would tend to think that we're helping push the world to a bad place, but that's just me. I don't have any proof, or way to come up with that proof. For sure, some want me to believe it's our fault. Some don't want me to believe that. Who's the most informed and honest?
Apparently I should question the "data" that's been presented as "fact", and pushed by the world's leaders. I don't have a high level of trust in our leaders anyway; this doesn't help. I guess I could just blindly do what they tell me to do, and believe what they tell me to believe. That would certainly make them happy; they can pass their agendas and make some cash.
