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.
I can’t think critically because I’m a pilot and trust scientists to be scientist?
What exactly is the agenda you are claiming exists? Please be very specific as to the goals of this nefarious plot.

This is where things always get murky with your kind. Goal is to push us into socialism? Now what alt right nonsense talking head did you copy that from, because that shows that a) you don't know what socialism is and b) it makes no sense whatsoever in any case. Tucker Carlson and such always like to say that everything we do is "pushing us into socialism" because you people react to it so strongly. Explain what is the mechanism where fighting climate change turns anything into "socialism"?

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.

So corporate funding is never behind misinformation. You wake up.

Energy rationing is the goal.

Good point. Probably means growth for the garbage industry either way. I mean we already gave up leaded high test, there’s no need for panic here.

If energy rationing is the goal, and corruption is the reason, then some questions:
1. Energy rationing is the goal of whom?
2. What would be the premise be based upon such that there would be rationing? (in other words, what would the justification be? how will it be sold to all the rest of us unenlightened sheep?)
3. Who is, or who are, the corrupt actor/actors? Would it be singular people, or would it involve organized entities?
4. Is the coming corruption vanilla "line my pockets for wealth and power" corruption or is it a grand over arching world wide conspiracy_ to remake mankind in a millennial historic sense?

5. Are there any scenarios where a controlling power could ration energy availability that is not due to corruption? Was gas rationing during WW2 in the USA, Great Britain and elsewhere only due to corruption? Or does the possibility exist that average decent people devised policies so as to manage a crisis in a manner that caused as little suffering as humanly possible?
