I am not a climatologist. I don't need to be accept the overwhelming scientific evidence that man is changing the climate at an unprecedented pace.

I blame AGW.

IDK if climate change is real or not. But having been raised by wolves, my mantra is I'd rather be safe than sorry.

What if it is true?

And my religious book compels me to be a good steward of the earth.
Doesn’t matter about the how only it was warmer then than now yet people are freaking out. It’s cyclical. It’s what happens coming out of the ice age called interglacial period.

You claim it is cyclical but you can’t scientifically explain the reasons behind the current warming The CO2 currently in the atmosphere is not some normal cycle, it’s man made.

Wow. Better call science and tell it, it's cyclical. Forget laws of thermo and such.

It is overwhelming scientific evidence to you, to many trained scientists, it is garbage.
