The question is not “if” it is changing….but “is” man causing it. The climate on this planet was changing long before we crawled out of the ooze and will continue to change long after we have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
Spot on. The more I study this subject, the more I realize that each volcano eruption produces more CFC’s than the history of man. We have been going through warming/ cooling cycles for millions of years. Each cycle lasting about 50,000 years .
Climate change irrefutable. Anthropogenic – the evidence is overwhelming. Yes, not the first time climate change has occurred. But, it has always resulted in those species not adjusting being wiped out. We will adjust to all but the most severe change, but at a cost of severe dislocation, deprivation, economic loss, and loss of life.
There is ample evidence that with investment and action there are many things man can do to slow the effects of climate change no matter what the actual source may be. As failure to address climate change will cost nations trillions over the next decades, and since many longterm jobs will be created in addressing these changes, it seems foolish to not begin the effort with some degree of urgency.Respectfully,C.
Wow, you’re really batting zero today. “cyanide is a poison to humans. CO2 is produced by humans.” Try living in an atmosphere with all CO2 and see how long you last. We do not “produce” CO2, we expel it. Just as we do other poisons that we happen to create as waste.“Anybody want to see the chart of the amount of CO2 now in the air……..Again??”No need. We know it is at the highest level it has been in three million years. It’s not the absolute quantity, it’s the leveraged impact. The impact is immense.“Does it strike you funny that the Left’s answer to this problem is for Americans to do all the things that the left been demanding we do for Decades long before this AGW BS.”Because we were right all along? AGW was first proposed in 1898 by Arrhenius, and early signs were measured in the 1960s. No, it’s not really funny. Just consistent.
Um, where is this even close to happening? And do the “scientists” say it “could” happen, as they often do? No, I call this hyperbole based on what “could” happen in 1,000 years, not evidence.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

No, I’m in my super fact mode. You are going into your Super Spin mode, desperately trying to project your increasingly obvious ignorance onto me.

Still not able to reply, eh?
