There is a middle ground. We are heating up the planet, don’t destroy the economy to fix it. Blah blah…..middle ground

Just like the Air Force did not engineer, design, and build the F-15. They wrote the specifications and were the program managers.

Government funding (and managing (not to mention the US Navy)) got us to the moon and back…that’s the point. It addresses the false implication that anything funded by the government is a lie.

I will play along just for the entertainment. What source of funding is immune to putting the finger on the scales of research? Let’s see, there is government funding and you have that all figured out. Oh! Got it! Private sector funding. They are always legit!

If you can't understand that something isn't right then you can't think critically.

Unproven. Should we strive to limit actual pollution? Yes, of course. Clean air and clean water. But not to the point that it pushes us into socialism (which is the goal). And also CO2 isn't "evil" as is being pushed.

What exactly is the agenda you are claiming exists? Please be very specific as to the goals of this nefarious plot.

It's like saying we never landed on the moon and the purpose of that conspiracy is to push us into socialism. It just makes no sense. But anyone who is capable of critical thinking should understand that.
