As pointed out by jamaz1, when you see what they left out or forget to mention and you are skeptical about what they are presenting, now you are the stupid one. This alienates me even further. I'm not a climate scientists and even if you gave me all of the raw data to analyse I wouldn't be able to draw the correct conclusions. I NEED to be able to trust those that can to make sense of it, but I don't trust them. So there is the monster they created because they thought there were justified in not telling the whole truth.
Since I'm not going to figure it out on my own and I don't trust those who are able to, what do I do? I go on with my life, and resist any effort that will cost me any money or freedom to make a change, that frankly may be necessary. All because of lack of trust.
