Good report. Unfortunately it is factually untrue.
1) The polar ice caps are bigger this year than they have been for decades.
Not exactly. The Antarctic ice cap (Southern) has been increasing recently while all other sea ice has been reducing. Your own story you linked as proof (
https://www.envirotech-online.com/n..._answer_to_antarctic_ice_growth_mystery/39357) even explains that the Arctic and all sea ice has been reduced due to global warming. It also explains why the Antarctic ice cap has increased when it should be reduced.
You may actually want to read the links before you post them.
2) The biggest generator of Co2 is the ocean. The volcanos are the second biggest cause. Humans do not significantly contribute to Climate Change.
Not true. This is a misunderstanding of how CO2 emissions work. CO2 is captured and trapped by many things. Most CO2 we emit is absorbed into the ocean. Eventually this CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. Fortunately that takes hundreds of years, but as your link pointed out (
https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20413-warmer-oceans-release-co2-faster-than-thought/) this has been sped up due to increasing temperatures caused by human induced climate change. Again, you should really read the articles before you post them as proof of your belief, especially when they don't actually support what you're saying.
As a side note, CO2 is also released by trees when they die. But it the tree burns then it releases much more CO2.
And on your point of volcano emissions vs human emissions... volcanoes emit approximately 200 million tons of CO2 per year. That's a lot. But as a comparison, the automotive industry alone emits 24 billion tons of CO2 per year. That means the automotive industry alone emits 120 times the amount of CO2 as volcanoes. And the automotive industry makes up less than 28% of human greenhouse gas emissions

3) The temperature of the earth has not changed significantly for over a hundred years.
Depends what you consider to be significant. Over the last hundred years there has been a 1 degree increase

These measurements were taking separately by 4 independent agencies and all found to be the same. Doesn't seem like much when you say "1 degree" but due to runaway processes like the one in the link you shared (ocean CO2 emission) and others like ocean current changes and sea ice melting CO2 release, the effects become astronomical
4) The planet needs Co2 to generate plant life. Without it there will be an even bigger catastrophe.
This is true. Not just plant life either. If you remove all CO2 from the atmosphere then we would all freeze to death. You can see this effect on Mars where temperatures range between -60 degrees and +20 degrees, because it can't hold on to the suns heat. But the earth's system is a balance. Plant life needs CO2. Humans unfortunately don't, and when there's too much CO2 then other nutrients in the soil go away. You can see this effect on Venus where runaway greenhouse effects made the planet a nightmare
5) The people who supported Global Warming have now changed there argument to Climate Change. Thats because the planet is not warming.
Also not true. It was originally called "Global Warming" as the planet temperature is increasing. The term was changed to "Climate Change" because global warming doesn't cover the extent of what's happening. It's not just the temperature increase. In fact, that's not even the biggest problem. It's the rising sea levels, life migration, species dying out, more frequent and more chaotic storms, more fires, and many other effects that can't be covered under the scope of Global Warming
6) The major supporters all seem to have massive investments in renewal energy. Put simply, it is a scam.
The major supporters are those with degrees in earth sciences. That's because they actually know what they're talking about. The only ones with investments in it are ones like Al Gore. And that's just smart investment.
On the counter side, literally every climate/geological scientist who doesn't support it (of which there are very few) are all being sponsored by oil and coal companies. Companies that make money off CO2 emissions.
And I will challenge anyone to find an anti-climate change theory climate or geological scientist who isn't sponsored by a fossil fuel energy company.
