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

With the recent reports of the Coronavirus and the controversy surrounding it, my Faith in science has dropped precipitously.

If we cannot predict something as simple as a virus, how could we possibly predict something as complex, immaculate, and divine as the climate?

With all of the evidence against science, I am confident that I can never be convinced that climate change is real. Science is just too feeble, and it must be replaced by something far more robust (Faith in the Bible).

PS: The other great thing about "Man Made Climate Change" as a motivator for those pushing it, is that you can never disprove it, since it all happens in the future by 20, 50 or 100 years. Even after 20 years go by, they move the goal post another 20 years down the road as they have since they started predicting this supposed catastrophe decades ago. Every 12 years, we "Only have 12 more years!" Rinse and repeat, every 12 years, while rebranding it (Overpopulation, then Global Warming, the Climate change, and so on).

But we can measure the CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

You are correct that there is fear mongering with some of the dire near term "predictions" put out by the left, but you are incorrect that we can't look, measure, and see what is happening.

LOL

How can you be a republican if you live in the northeast?

Brainwashed.

Climate change + nuclear weapons = what could go wrong?

This is it exactly. Climate change deniers are ostracized by believers. It's not a very long journey to slaughtering them-in the name of preserving the planet. World War III caused by climate change disagreement is a far greater risk to the planet than is rising sea levels.

nah

No

The level of stupid in this thread is over 9000.

Climate change deniers neither believe nor disbelieve in anthropomorphic global warming because they're too ignorant, stupid, or lazy to understand any of the actual science.

It's no different than when talking to evolution deniers; it is immediately obvious they neither believe nor disbelieve in evolution when they make arguments that reveal their glaring misconceptions. What they don't disbelieve in in some silly caricature that has nothing to do with the actual science and everything to do maintaining the deception.

Correction:

"What they don't disbelieve in in some silly caricature ..." should read "What they don't believe in is some silly caricature..."

This French Ski Resort believes in climate change:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-france-skiing/the-ski-resort-with-no-snow-contemplates-a-warmer-future-idUSKBN2061H4

But then again, does a town whose existence is dependent on people traveling from all over, large amounts of imported goods and staff, and deforestation for the sake of ski trails have much credibility when complaining about global warming? Every time I hear a ski town (like Aspen) complain about global warming I have to shake my head, as their entire economy is dependent upon the jet setting crowd flying there in their private jets and driving around in their oversized SUVs to stay in their giant chalet that they stay in two weeks a year and have to heat year round.

no

So you don't understand rate the significance of rate of change?

Stopping from 300 mph can be harmless or can kill you, depending on how fast it happens.

changing over tens of thousands of years is not the same as changing over one century.

anyone who trivializes t a 20-foot sea-level rise is obviously a moran anyway.

Actually science has long ago identified corona viruses and the ability of viruses to mutate within hosts like wild life etc that you are not supposed to eat uncooked. Science already knows that.

You are too dumb to understand that viruses are simply chemicals that cannot replicate on their own.

Science will also come up with a vaccine, just like it has contributed to your health so far.

eh not really

Oh look, a climate expert posting on letsrun. Please explain "the actual science" without arm waving, fudging the data or making spurious predictions based on that data.

Yes climate change is real.

I think the readers of this thread need to be aware of the biases inherent in the making of such a thread (contrarian types who think they have it all sussed out are more likely to want to post in a thread like this).

The amount of cognitive dissonance with regards to climate change is just astonishing. People deny it's real because they don't want to take responsibility for their long haul flights, diesel cars and meat eating.

If you believe that a pot of water will boil when you put it on the stove and you believe that a tire will burst if you pump it full of air and you believe that your car will be hot inside if you park it outside in 90 degree heat....then you ought to believe that human beings contribute to climate change.

The foundational principles of physics and chemistry are the foundational principles of physics and chemistry take em or leave em. But if you leave em? Good luck with that.

Just saw that a tornado ripped through Nashville and 19 are dead.

Aren't tornado's more in the spring, summer months?

Early March tornado?

Get ready for Christmas tornados if nothing changes.

19 deaths is not a fantasy. Climate is related to weather conditions. Sorry English is not your strength. Trying to understand the language could go a long way for you.
