I perhaps wasn't clear. My apologies.
I have no problem with someone believing in climate change. I believe that weather/weather patterns are always changing, so I guess you could say that I believe in it as well.
My beef (pun intended) are those that claim that (1) man is the main cause and (2) it's an existential threat that requires billions, if not trillions, to be spent to correct it. But in their own life, there is little evidence that they have changed their lifestyle at all in response to their "belief". They seem to think that the elusive "someone else" should do something/sacrifice. Not them. Thus my three suppositions of why they loudly proclaim such a position.
All of those things you do are wise and prudent actions of someone who wants to conserve and reduce pollution. I've done those things all my life as well. I keep my cars until the wheels go square. It saves me money, but also reduces the number of cars in landfills. I have a lithium ion golf cart. I bought it because it made sense for something that never goes further than 30 miles round trip from my house, but I guess it creates less air pollution as well.
If the focus is on reducing pollution, I'm all for it. Solar and wind to change the climate of an entire planet? A fool and his money are soon parted. Might as well wash your car in an attempt to make it rain.
