I believe climate change is a politicized topic and not focused on the real reasons that our climate is changing. This is the standard method politicians use to get people to fear something and side with a certain political party. Politics should be removed from climate change because it's not political, It's historical/science based. Looking at historical data shows that well before humanity started polluting the air that the climate had huge fluctuations due to other factors. These other factors are what we need to do more research into and that some people have pretty good theories on what the factors could have been

You misread or misinterpreted what I said. The main climate change talks are trying to say humanity is what's primarily causing climate change. This is false as per the historical data in reference to the Holocene period. I also stated that we shouldn't discount trying our best to take care of our planet. Since humanity is not the primary cause of climate change we should be focused on larger issues and not politicize this stuff

What type might I be? I didn't deny human induced climate problems, just that they are sensationalized. Science is constantly evolving and relatively recent evidence shows what I originally stated with the temperature fluctuations of the Holocene.

If you look at temperature data for the past 15,000yrs or so you'd see that we are in the Holocene with a great temperature for humans to survive. The temperature for the duration of the Holocene period fluctuates a little which is the climate change we're seeing. The scale is so small though that the climate change we're seeing isn't meaningful to any greater change and infact we're on a downward trend within the fluctuation.

Now all that is not to say that we shouldn't take measures to not destroy our environment, because we should care about our planet. There are so many more important and more immediate things to be worrying about than this grand idea of climate change, such as the magnetic pole shift

Get a Land Rover LR 3 or 4. They're old enough to not have telemetry, have 3 rows, nice amenities, have great traction modes, and all the (few) issues are known about so can be addressed.

If you go to the dealership they'll get all your data that's stored locally. I imagine an independent shop using Toyota's software will probably do the same thing. Also buying a new car lets these companies know that you're okay with having your right to repair be taken away since this is the industry practice. New cars also have massively higher yearly registration fees and parts are more expensive to replace and lots of computers in the cars do have issues.

Just get an older car. Early 2000s. The 1.9ALH diesel in VW Jettas can be tuned to get insane fuel economy, up to ~60mpg. What do you really need in a new car that can't be installed in an old car? Fuel economy, sound deadening, double din Bluetooth carplay head unit, etc

I'll hear podcasters mention other podcasts or I'll look up opinion threads on podcasts for specific genres.

Dark Horse (Use logic and reasoning to talk about politics and also talk about evolutionary biology)
Matt Beall (similar to Joe Rogan but more often has more interesting guests)
Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons (bi-weekly tech news and bi-weekly tech people interviews, tends to focus on privacy)
