Thanks. The no-gauge-based evidence all seems to go back to the one paper which you kindly linked to.
Where does the second quote come from?

I think it's human nature to try and push back on the concept because accepting the scientific consensus makes us all responsible for the current situation. Denying it removes the guilt. As you say, the vast majority of scientific opinion backs the fact that climate change is happening and poses a danger to the planet. The economic upside can be found by the country focusing on the skills required for a carbon-neutral country.

It's the scientific consensus that has ended the debate not the above conspiracy theories.
