I gather you are Greta's twin brother?
Child, you are only 16, and though you are very intelligent, you don't have life's wisdom that can only be attained through years of experience.
For example: There are a lot of sociopaths, psychopaths and garden variety ratbags who will use your naivety to their advantage to advance their power lust.
This is something you are yet to learn, sweet young Wolfram. <comfort>
Sometimes they'll even use ad hominem attacks to try to make a person more malleable to their guile.
Of course, neither naivete, authority, nor consensus have any bearing on truth in either direction, only the merit of the involved concepts themselves as they relate to reality.
I found your post a little ambiguous.
Old age, ya know.
Some people compartmentalise and filter out relevant considerations when creating an intellectual construct, such as instinctual influences, psychological tendencies, cultural dogma, level of life wisdom, intellectual capacity, excessive emotional influences enticing emotionalism and catastrophisation.
I hope you are not one of "those people".
All had been considered in my post to Greta's twin brother, Wolfram.
Many questions in life are extremely complex, grasshopper.
One must embrace a greater perspective to appreciate the entire picture, even if the process causes discomfort during that personal growth.
Walk towards enlightenment, my child.

Compartmentalization (psychology)
Compartmentalization is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person's having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within themselves.
Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate compartmentalized self-states.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compartme ... psychology)

Cognitive dissonance
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. This discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a person's belief clashes with new evidence perceived by the person. When confronted with facts that contradict beliefs, ideals, and values, people will try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.[1][2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

The letter was signed by [over 500] prominent scientists and professionals from related fields, including atmospheric physicist Richard Lindzen and applied geology professor Alberto Prestininzi.
The effort is led by professor Guus Berkhout, a Dutch engineer who served as professor of acoustics, geophysics, and innovation management at the Delft University of Technology.
Berkhout intends to release the full list of 500 signatories in Oslo on Oct. 18.

You've clearly misunderstood what I was saying. Anyways, I'm disengaging.
