I appreciate your question, but I think "we know" is problematic:
- who is "we"?
- how do we "know"?
- can some people know one thing while others know the opposite?
I'm not trolling, either, just asking questions from a philosophical point of view. I've changed my mind about several things I took very seriously and thought I was 100% right about. Could others be dealing with similar changing-mind-through-time processes? Could you?
"We" are informed individuals who care about proven scientific facts.
"Know" is the fact that methane is a strong greenhouse gas.
No, when it comes to something factually proven time and time again. Anyone can "know" anything but that doesn't mean they're correct.
I've gone through many mind changing events in my life time, so has everyone else.
"We know better than you" has never been an effective way to change other peoples' minds, in my experience.
