Abstract: The scientific investigation of the elements of the Earth-Human relationship is influenced by various value systems and interests. The influence from outside science is particularly strong in the field of climate change. The eternal natural phenomenon of climate change has been purposefully made the central issue of the Earth-Human relationship, the primary reference point for the so-called green transition. In order to convince the world, the basic definition of climate change has been changed, statements that contradict paleoclimatic facts and physical laws have been accepted (as a so-called consensus), climate models are preferred instead of direct observation of reality, and the role of natural climate variability is consciously downplayed. This is largely what the examples presented are about. The changes in the temporal and spatial patterns of the climate have a natural cause. It is not certain that all mysteries can be easily solved, since nature's imagination is much richer than man's. Man's role in influencing the global climate is much more modest than nature's. Man has a substantially local, at most regional, playing field, above all in the field of water management. The reference of the so-called green transition to climate change is false. The assumption of the limits of the Earth's carrying capacity would have been somewhat more appropriate, but we must see that the Earth is much more vast than the dominant paradigm assumes. Consequently, man can indeed use the Earth's natural resources - responsibly. In my opinion, the only effective tool for environmental attention is moderation (Latin: temperantia). Accordingly, all major policy issues (in energy, agriculture, etc.) should be reconsidered, and climate change should be left to science.
