Looking for the truth about the environmental movements

I looked through this person friends list,

I looked through this person friends list,
.
And came across a group with views opposite to Extinction Rebellion who call themselves Friends Of Science
.
So I sent Friends of Science a message.
.
.
Because as it is only fair and right to hear both sides and way up as much evidence from all the angles that you can.
.
I admit to feeling suspicious of them but must try to compensate for that!
.
I also sent this message to "Extinction Rebellion".

Let's see if there is anything either of them is hiding or lying about.
.
I recognise my starting bias in favour of "Extinction Rebellion" but I will try to compensate for that and try to be as impartial as a mere human can.
.
I will constantly update this page as I go,
.
.
Both will lose points in my eyes by playing on emotional rather than logical arguments
.
I don't want to see dead sea birds from Extinction Rebellion
.
I don't want to see tin foil hat "they are using fear to control us" stuff from Freinds of Science
.
I want maths
.
I want studies
AND
I also want to know who funded and sponsored those studies
AND
Why those studies were funded?
.
(Because who paid for a study and why is VERY important and could indicate 'creatively interpreted' data being misused to sell an agenda!)
.
In other words,
Being highly qualified and educated does not mean you are incorruptible!
.
Scientist are not saints!
.
Scientist for either out of ego or for a bribe can still lie!
.
People in white lab coat still have the exact same human weakness as everyone else!

A kinda,
Sorta,
Very unsatisfactory conclusion!
(ish?)
.
.
I am only one single person!
.
EVEN!
.
If I had the budget and could even find 10 people to aide me that had an equal love of research.
.
(3 pro-Exticiotn rebellion)
(3 pro-Friends of Science group)
(4 truly neutral!)
.
And 3 months to do the work in!

I still could not successfully pick through all the white lies,
half-truths,
half-lies,
and skewed data
as presented by BOTH SIDES,
with more than a POOMA's measured 40% chance of any real accuracy!

.
So unless someone drops a crap large bag of money on me,
I have only 2 options left!
.
1)
Choose a side almost arbitrarily based on mere personal taste and preference, as I would a soft drink or a jacket!
Then decide to simply trust everything that side says!
.
OR
.
2)
Not trust or like anyone!
Assuming everyone is full of shit and lying on both sides!

And so, to quote Cartmen of Southpark.

"I'm going home!"
