I don't think anyone is saying there is NEVER climate change...we know the climate has changed MANY times in 4 1/2 billion years....but to say that we puny humans can somehow CONTROL it...that's where the train flies off the tracks!
If we can cause warming by emitting too much CO2, then we can stop it by slowing our CO2 emissions to the point where the natural carbon cycle can handle it.
Wouldn't the planet warming be climate change.......?
Cool story brah. Speaking of crap, you gonna keep trying to twist semantics? AGW is climate change..... You're cute now that you screwed up earlier and trying to talk your way outta it.
The climate always changes. AGW is man made global warming. Two different things. One is an immutable truth. The other is bad theory with no basis in fact. Your argument does not work. But keep trying to connect those nonexistent dots.
If we can cause warming by emitting too much CO2, then we can stop it by slowing our CO2 emissions to the point where the natural carbon cycle can handle it.
If that were true which hasn't been proven, good luck with that.

But we can't seem to reduce global emissions, or even slow the rate of increase. And even if we could reduce them significantly, it would take hundreds of years for levels of CO2 to return to pre-industrial levels. So basically, if the climate models turn out to be right, we're doomed. Fortunately, so far it looks like they've been exaggerating the problem.
Once again, the problem isn't the science-- it's that people like you don't understand the science. It doesn't help that you're only willing to listen to sources that are intentionally trying to confuse everyone.
That doesn't answer the billion-dollar question: if you plan to fix the earth's temperature, what temperature are you going to set the earth to, exactly? And, since climate change is blamed for both floods and droughts, both blizzards and lack of snow,......well, what's the weather going to look like once you're done fixing it, exactly?

More like thousands of years.

"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide that the climate would go back to normal in 100 years or 200 years. What we're showing here is that's not right. It's essentially an irreversible change that will last for more than a thousand years,"
and don't forget, if the climate sensitivity to co2 is high, then feedbacks in nature will continue to release natural co2 emissions even if man has stopped emitting
