I know climate change is "real" but I don't really care. What does that make me?

No one is claiming there haven't been warmer or cooler periods in Earth's history. No one is claiming human activity is the only source of CO2. What people are claiming is that human activity is increasing CO2 levels. Do you agree or disagree?

Also, a complete tool of the capitalist system. Those who are profiting from greenhouse gas emissions are very happy when people are kept atomized and alienated from their fellow man. They know that as long as people do not care about each other, they can do as they please and let everyone else suffer the consequences. So, when people flea Central America because their subsistence farms are failing due to climate change, the capitalists love it when you look at your fellow man and think they are "invaders". But the moment you see your fellow man as your brother, the capitalist loses all his power.

Actually capitalist profiteers love it when cheap labor comes over the border illegally. I'm curious how that factors into your narrative.

Everyone knows the environment has been trashed by humans.

People need to buy local products and stop buying crap from places like China.

That would cure a lot of our pollution problems.

A Realist.

Well said. That's exactly what happens, and how we can change it.

If I had to list the top 100 things that humanity has to worry about in the next 100 years, climate change would not be on the list.

However, governments doing stupid stuff to "allegedly" prevent climate change would definitely be on the list.

You are honest. Most public figures admonishing us on climate change (or any number of pressing issues) tell us one thing but do the opposite in their personal lives. Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio come to mind.

completely 100% normal. the fact that you're willing to admit you don't care I might keep to myself in certain company.

Is the climate changing? Yes.

Is there anything we can do to stop the climate from changing? Probably not.

Will climate change lead to the end of the world and the destruction of humanity? Doubt it.

Are some folks hijacking the climate change to advance their political agenda (Green New Deal)? Maybe. Maybe not.

I care and i marched today together with thousands of others who care. See you at the ballot box, boys.

To what end? Talk to me when China and India are curbing population explosion. Talk to me when Russia gives a damn about a warming planet. Talk to me when developing countries are willing to halt their industrialization and growth to assuage your guilt. You get to enjoy the fruits of industrialization but the Brazilians, for example, don't. The world may be getting hotter, the world may get wetter, but there is absolutely nothing that you, nor I, nor anyone else will do about it. The smart money will move to parts of the globe that will be least negatively impacted.

100% guarantee that 20 years ago you were one of those insisting that the climate WASN"T changing.

Your assumptions were wrong then, why do you believe them now?

He/she is never going to talk to you. But he/she will gladly talk at you.

There’s no room for discussion here. They’re right and you’re wrong.

I can't speak for Film Rep, but 15 years ago I bought into climate alarmism more than I do today. The hypocrisy and wrong and/or greatly exaggerated predictions of the movement have changed my opinion.

China is far ahead of us lately in alternative energy sources.

We should be a leader like we once were, leading in these initiatives, or at least part of the various accords for control of green house gas emissions. And we see through your 'you first' excuses for taking responsibility for your actions.

Fortunately, no one cares what you think.

So you won't lose weight, because Trump won't lose weight.

What a way to live a sad life.

You must do as I say or ELSE the world will end!
