The scientific community agree climate change is real and is adversely affecting the world. Warming oceans will reclaim many islands, one island off the coast of Maryland will disappear withing 25 years, everyone will loose their homes.
Scientist credit trapped greenhouse pollution as the cause. Big oil of course disagrees.

Was it big oil that caused the world to war and end the last ice age?

My mother was told in high school in the late 40s there was only 30 years supply of oil remaining. I was told the same in middle school in the early 80s.

We been predicted to:
Freeze
Burn
Starve
Drown
Die from super bacteria
Die from UV radiation
Die from nuclear war
Die from acid rain
Experience super Hurricanes

Anybody fretting over climate change simply enjoys anxiety.

It's more than just climate change people that enjoy anxiety. I've got people close to me that tell my wife and I we need to stop taking vacations and stock up on gold for the impending collapse. We've been told this now for 10+ years.

Like I said in the other thread, the best thing people can do is strengthen their own local community and just live their lives.

7 months ago I think is a decent metric to look at. Trump has expanded the national debt by trillions and with tariffs is essentially orchestrating a welfare check to give out to most people which I can promise you will need to be repaid when you (not you) file your taxes in the near future.

I believe the earth is warming, just like it has numerous times in history.

As long as your wallow is wet and muddy, you'll be fine.

"Climate change" as a phrase denotes caused by man, I think. You can believe in cyclical climate fluctuations and find yourself in a disagreement with the climate change crowd.

OK, I always have this question and I fail to receive an answer. It has been proven the Artic used to be a tropical forest. If so, what caused it to freeze?

I find it very hard to believe man has anything to do with the our global environment when you see the vastness of our universe.

How many times do we have to exist beyond Al Gore’s (and others ) projections before we understand we have little to do with the climate? It is too vast!

“Chaos”? The demonstration I have seen has been “destruction”. Is that patriotism?

How about going the route you all aspouse….DEMOCRACY. If you don‘t like something run for office or support someone who aligns with your beliefs.

Destruction of property is not the way to go. It turns a lot of people off.

Al Gore didn’t believe in climate change or he wouldn’t have driven SUVs and lived in a ten bedroom home.

Kids from the 80’s were traumatized by the acid rain campaign.

Huh. That must be the TDS kicking in. I don't vote and I have been highly critical of the Orange man on quite a few things. Keep pretending you are okay, not much I can do about it. 🤷‍♂️

I am of the mindset that once a person shows symptoms of that disease (like rabies), its not curable. You'll just keep doubling, quadrupling, etc down.

It's like the boy who cried wolf story never existed. Scare tactics (and let's not pretend all sides don't practice such tactics where applicable) have long, loooong been a means to leverage wealth and power. The Climate Catastrophe is one of the biggest since it's truly global in it's scope. At the top it's littered with people that have that "Don't look at my wealth and my yachts and private airplane miles...listen to what I say when messing with how you lot make it through life beneath us." bit going on.

I've posted this before but it's something that's stuck with me for years now and while climate was the focus at the time it's hardly limited to that application.

"I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period."
