1. Climate isn't changing despite greenhouse gasses accumulating
2. Climate may be changing but humans aren't to blame
3. Climate may be changing and humans may be a part of it - but it's actually a good thing
Define a Kritik
An argument that typically makes use of scholarship/evidence that is considered 'critical'
(as opposed to empirical) research.
Empirical research studies things like possible government policies to solve particular

Critical research encompasses a wide variety of things but is generally thought to be more
philosophical and attentive to what are purportedly more fundamental 'prior' questions such
as:
- how power operates
- how knowledge production filters/directs attention
- how metaphysical assumptions condition understanding
