What's your stance on Climate Change?

[whynotchris]

Just what it says.

Of course I do. Fuck, the climate just changed right now.

And right now.

And again.

IT ALWAYS CHANGES!

That's called weather, not the climate.

I believe in gravity too, fuck me right ?

I do not "believe" in it. The Science behind it is correct, so it's real. More Co2 from burning c02 based fules, less trees, more CO2 in the air, more heat. Simple.

I think it's a real problem, but the direct factors are not fully understood.

The melting of permafrost is contributing massive green house gases for example. Changes in oceanic currents, etc etc etc.

The fact remains that we can help to curb the effect, dramatically possibly. But are we the exclusive cause? I don't think that's definitive given the size of the model and range of contributing factors.

Green is the way to go though, and the faster we get there the better.

Your brother told you he was fake?

Jon Oliver gave a great reason why this question is irrelevant. Next we will need people to believe 2+2=4. Oh wait, math doesn't give a shit what you believe. All the global climate models can't be reproduced without man shitting up the atmosphere.

[Vizardlorde]

Yes, I also believe the planet is not 10000 years old.

[Sky High]

I know it's a real thing, and humans have had an impact on the world's environment. more so then anything to have come before us, not including natural disasters. but I'm not in the camp of "if we don't make a dramatic turn in the next 5 years were looking at a global catastrophe".

The fact the word "believe" is being tossed around still is annoying as shit. Not specifically at you OP...but yeah...mixing opinions with scientific investigation and facts/evidence/whatever...

[zealo]

That's the thing with science, its not asking for observers to believe but rather just to watch, its definitely something that is happening.

It is real and i do think humans plays a part in it though.

[Aberzombie]

Just what it says.

* do you believe in global warming * is what it should read. Can't edit the poll.

The "Global Warming" model as put out by the ecofascists is totally bogus; scare-based propoganda to further a political agenda, nothing else.

I think the point of the thread was to ask if people believed in the science of climate change or not

You're wrong.

Which I guess bugs me, since belief in something requires a person to form an opinion about something that is not entirely objective

"Do you believe the sun is hot?"

and so on...

Maybe I'm just being overly pedantic because I'm hopped up on tylenol and caffeine.

There is no faith in regards science. It's just understanding and acceptance of reality.

[Kraenen]

That's the thing the bugs me also "I do not believe, I can see the evidence is correct, so it's true" is my thought.

This seems a bit strange. You're saying you don't believe in it even though you know it's true? It also seems strange to say the evidence is correct, what do you mean by this?

[TZK203]

Well, at least for me, I don't feel climate change is going to be an "oh meh gerd, we're all gunna die!111!1" situation, but I still support the move to cleaner sources of renewable energy simply because it helps us advance technology and find more efficient ways to generate the energy we'll need in the future--fossil fuels and natural gas can only last so long.
