Not at all - I thank you for being a part of the conversation, and for trying to understand what is going on. With the 3%, I don't think that they're stupid at all. Dissent is always a part of science, and people can read the same sets of data differently. When 97% agree that the most likely explanation/interpretation is the current paradigm that we have, though, I think that it's something to be considered seriously.
The purpose here isn't really to convince. It's to connect, explain and provide context so that there's a better understanding of how it works. Your reasons for moving towards renewables/clean energy are as good as any other. The main thing that drove me to start this was the gagging of scientists at government agencies from communicating directly to the public and congress, freezing of funding, culling of data/information related to climate change and attacks on/censoring of facts by the current administration. The public has to get involved. We cannot do this alone.
PS. I hate politics too.
Okay, maybe they aren't necessarily stupid, but their pragmatism falls into the realm of mental instability at the very least.
