I’m don’t need to analyze any scientific paper to form an opinion on a matter of policy; what scientific paper should I read to decide whether to support an increase on property tax in my county to support schools? The idea that I have to defer my judgment to someone in a lab coat is insulting.
As to your other questions, the answer to all (which any trivial web search would answer as I did) is “I can read”.
And I didn’t “cherry pick” some particular study or some blog that supports my preconceptions. All of the links I have provided are from sources that assume severe climate change is coming without serious interventions in greenhouse gas emissions; they are all on the “climate activist” side.
And of course now I’m being down voted for my example.
I never challenged a single point of climate orthodoxy; I never questioned whether global warming was occurring, whether it was man-made, whether the studies and models predict warming accurately, or whether the impact will be as stated. I stipulated every single one of those points. But simply my personal conclusion that I don’t believe the policy trade-off is worth it, means that my voice is not worth hearing.

Dramatically increase the cost of energy, note that this is BY DESIGN, it’s the entire point of carbon taxes and markets: https://www.npr.org/2021/12/16/1064951646/why-the-cost-of-ca...
