Yes or No: Do you believe in man made “climate change “?

The two main categories of people that don’t believe in climate change are those that are so low iq they can’t grasp simple concepts and those that are high enough iq but are too lazy to do the work so they default to think no one knows because they don’t. Which is an easy sell as that conclusion doesn’t require any change on their part. People in general hate change.

Then there is a fringe that know it is true but are just spreading misinformation because they have an agenda. Several posters on this thread fall in to this final category.

No

Not in the bible, doesn't matter to me.

Change is always difficult.

Accept it.

Embrace change and thrive!!!

Do you believe we pollute our planet and can harm human civilization if companies go unchecked?

Yes

Coincidentally Australia is also having the worst bush fire season ever, currently 10M hectares, and counting, ahead of California 2018 (809K hectares), Amazon 2019 (890K hectares), Siberia 2019 (2.7M hectares).

Pure coincidence and no connection implied...move right along

No. It has been shown time and time again through advanced modeling and history that God has created a system (the climate) that can adapt to any and all inputs that humans can throw at it.

Furthermore, even if we do change the climate by our actions, just as Jesus is the steward of the people, humans are the stewards of the Earth. Christians have the right to warm the planet if they so desire.

As a libertarian, I believe that faith is far more important than facts.

My question is how do you explain the Roman Warm Period, the Medieval Warm Period, the Little Ice Age, and the subsequent warming from 1700 to roughly 1900 when CO2 levels changed very little?

In the off chance that you really care about the current understanding these events are discussed in the IPCC WG1 AR5 report in (at least) chapter 5-paleoclimate and chapter 10-attribution.

Are you people stupid stop denying SCIENCE

Don't waste your time on them.

If you tell them that a feather and a brick would fall at the same acceleration in a vacuum, I wonder if they want to actually see the experiment?

No

Excessive faith in science is epistemologically unsound. Believing otherwise is a dogma in itself called "scientism".

I prefer to guide my actions with faith rather than "science" .

God’s view on climate change: Until he pulls the plug, it may change, but, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” Gen. 8:25

Thank you, I concur. The Lord has provided us with an infallible system- the climate. No matter what we do, these things will not cease.

I say unto you , "shalt the Lord of all things not pick up thine neighbor's cigarette butts tossed in his peoples' lawn?"

No

So you’re saying all those trees in Australia are just “crisis actors?”

It's a stupid question designed to set up a strawman. Of course mankind contributes to climate change, that's not the dispute. The question is how much. To say that you have any degree of certainty on that is very unscientific as carbon dioxide is just one of MANY factors that influence the climate.

To the most fervent believers in dire predictions, since you're so damn sure of yourselves can you give me minimal hard numbers for the future? You hear a lot these days that the world is going to practically end if nothing is done now, mass starvation, mass migration (hundreds of millions), huge areas permanently under water, etc.

Carbon dioxide output will be increasing over the next ten years due to a combination of population growth, and developing countries (especially China and India) requiring far more energy production. Just wait until third world countries become 1st world, energy consumption will soar. So I guess the world will end in ten years.
