The climate is going to change as it always has. We have to adapt.

If the climate deniers can publish a body of evidence disproving man-caused climate change and have a majority of scientists accept their claims, then I will happily change sides.
If you are a true believer in the scientific method, then you know that it is up to you to prove your claim, not up to others to disprove it.

They absorbed the toxicity and secreted oxygen. When they died they settled to the oceans floor and created these huge deposits of oil.

For the last 150 years humans have been busy bringing this oil to the surface and turning back into toxic gasses and carbon in the air. That a simple fact and to think it’s not affecting things is crazy.

But again, how badly are we affecting things?
It boils down to too many people needing too many resources.

Getting rid of gas cars will just shift the burden of creating energy to another source .... which will also eventually cause pollution, etc.

And trading "carbon credits" on Wall Street...that's a joke in itself that countries are saving the plant by trading virtual nothingness.


Ultimately it boils down to population control.....which no one dares to talk about.

Show me in the last 10,000 years where the climate was stable, flat and perfect. If anything, we are currently experiencing a cooling phase, and yet you want to pretend we are burning up.
If the response is what they are looking for then it becomes "science".

Climate change deniers, by spreading disinformation, are complicit in a small way in these deaths.

Don't forget to double mask too.

Guess a CO2 cloud hovered over their city and raised the temps, right?

Yeah, and Al Gore said we'd all be under water by now. When I was a kid in the 1970s, it was a new ice age that was going to be our undoing. As has been posted, fears sells. Rational adults don't get themselves all worked up over this nonsense.

Hard to blame El Nino in a La Nina year isn't it?...You anti science folk. Lol.

After a record-tying warm year in 2020, the world is on track for a cooler year in 2021, driven by moderately strong La Niña conditions in the late part of 2020 and early 2021. However, 2021 will almost certainly be one of the Top 10 warmest years since records began in the mid-1800s.
