Its not conjecture, its an overwhelming scientific consensus and has been for some time. If we base all policy on a reactionary basis rather than preventative the species is doomed.

I believe the science my partner is a scientist and that is why he mentioned in depth to me the affects of the pacific ocean and the direction of change of wind due to the affects of the gravitation by the Sun. And how that changes the weather patterns and either increases or decreases rain fall.
But the large majority of people will not change their ways on scientistic data. Especially when the government are ignoring it and stating to the public it is of no concern. As a way to gain more finances from these fossils fuels.

How DuPont Knowingly Poisoned Americans With PFAS For Over 50 Years
For over half a century, the chemical giant DuPont engaged in a staggering betrayal of public trust by concealing the severe health hazards of PFAS compounds used to manufacture their famous Teflon product, while knowingly exposing millions of Americans to these “forever chemicals.”Damning internal documents uncovered through lawsuits and investigations reveal that as early as the 1960s, DuPont’s own studies showed that PFAS chemicals like PFOA (C8) used in Teflon caused liver damage, birth defects, cancer and other dire effects in lab animals. Yet the company systematically suppressed and downplayed these findings, misleading regulators and the public about the chemicals’ safety.

Donald Trump
Dozens of Donald Trump’s supporters have been requiring medical help at his rallies in the scorching US south-west but it seems lost on him that his plans to reverse climate policies and “drill, baby, drill” for fossil fuels will only worsen extreme weather, campaigners say.
A total of 24 people at a Trump rally in Las Vegas on Sunday required medical attention due to the heat, according to the Clark county fire department, with six taken to hospital for treatment. The hospitalizations come after a further 11 people needed to be admitted to hospital for heat exhaustion as they waited for Trump to speak at a rally in Phoenix on Thursday.

His potential re-election is terrifying.

Environment going under the bus (arf!) again.
Of course, we are the USA shadow and the inevitable politicization of the most important issue began in this country with the insanity of the tories llurch to the far right right and culture war nonsense. Extremely sad, it will be men of power and their moronic sycophantic followers who drive us to extinction
