It describes me perfectly.

Global warming is not “alarming” or “disastrous”. It’s simply a consequence of the kind of fuel people have been burning for the last few decades. Not a punishment, not a judgment, not a karma, a CONSEQUENCE — the physical effect of a physical cause.

In trying to mitigate or adapt to global warming, we are simply trying to fix our own broken toy.

So if you’re a real skeptic, then you can’t be an alarmist, you’d be realistically skeptical of future climate disasters, or you would be a skeptical skeptic, perhaps you could be called a double skeptic, maybe called a skeptic squared. Pseudoskeptic or false skeptic is really a climate alarmist right? How did you get so confused?
