American Institute of Physics, finds the same thing.

You're on the side of the flat-earthers in this debate.

And another little article that illustrates who is predisposed to not believing what science is telling us

"The researchers report that people whose values are located in Individualist/Hierarchy spaces “can be expected to be skeptical of claims of environmental and technological risks. Such people, according to the theory, intuitively perceive that widespread acceptance of such claims would license restrictions on commerce and industry, forms of behavior that Hierarchical/Individualists value."

The climate is changing. That's what climates do. We are not the cause. We adapt.

Renewable energy sources would be a good start.

Recently, in Ohio I think, regular fracking increased the number of earthquakes to almost 2 a day. Even their local government, who tried to dismiss the science at first, had to come clean on it.

Here I found an article for you. It links several academic papers explaining the effect of fracking on the environment.
