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

I am certain man has destroyed animal and plant life on a massive scale, stripped forests, paved over, burnt, polluted, and turned oceans, seas, lakes, rivers into toxic effluence, contaminated the air to the point of unsustainability.

I cannot deny that all this global damage is connected and has been responsible for the obvious changes in climate. As long as the current human population increases or levels off we can only expect a continuing depletion of natural elements and increase in the toxicity and disruption on Earth.

To ignore or deny the evidence so obvious all over the world is naive and its own kind of arrogance.

To not apply at least "abundance of caution" efforts to retard or reverse the obvious downward trend in liveable conditions is irresponsible and bound to have disastrous consequences.

Any source for these claims?

Hint: there are none

nope

YES, but it is likely very mild.

No

Funny you picked Baghdad. They broke their record high today with a temperature of 125, and might break that again tomorrow. The Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, North Africa, and the Mediterranean have all seen dramatically above average temperatures this summer. Seriously, just check the weather for pretty much any location in the above and compare it to their historical average. It's pretty shocking. Same goes for the United States and Canada. This summer has been insanely warm for almost the whole country, with day after day of 90 degree temps in normally mild locations like Ottawa. In Philadelphia, where I live, it's been well into the 90s on most days, with overnight lows barely reaching the mid-70s. These types of summers in Philadelphia were almost nonexistent during the 20th Century, but in the past 10 years they've become the norm. And all this after the warmest winter I can remember in my lifetime, with our lowest annual snowfall on record.

Btw, I used to be a skeptic, but over the past few years I've gotten more and more into weather records, and the trends are much starker and more obvious than I'd realized. It's gotten noticeably warmer over almost the entirety of the earth's surface just in the past 20 years, all without any notable external or geological driving force of the sort that has typically accompanied previous extreme temperature change events. I want to believe that scientists have gotten it wrong, I really do. But by now it should be really obvious that they haven't.

You are wrong. And you know why.

Oh shut up. There's no sources for areas being polluted? Grow up

No

No

I believe. After all, much in nature happens through the fault of people. For example, we throw garbage, burn it and all this is thrown into the atmosphere. I recently read on the site about global warming and realized that people really do too much of what they shouldn't do. Therefore, everything in nature depends on us, because we have to learn and teach our children a reasonable and ecological attitude to nature. https://papersowl.com/examples/global-warming/

NO

Because enough sheep are convinced of it we are headed toward a catastrophe.

But this will happen after I am dead so like you guys why should I care? In the meantime, I will enjoy the hot weather and the potential to have oceanfront property by the time I retire.

Yes

loses credibility on the oceans, rivers, seas, thing. Do you think those are directly contributing to global warming? You sound like a hand wringer more than somebody who gets any science.

The climate pornographers will continue to push out the timing of the disastrous effects into the future. Actually it's a brilliant strategy. They will get their projects government funded and directed to companies they profit from while searching beachfront property they will be now able to afford

I think the poster is painting a picture of abuse. The root of the debate stems around whether you believe or not that excess greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere are causing warming.

If you believe this than destroying the rain forests, burning fossil fuels, etc. will undoubtedly increase carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Whether or not this is a problem should be the heart of the debate.

I believe it is a problem. If someone can provide convincing evidence from an impartially funded source you can ease my fears.

In the meantime I believe in the idea that if people continue to pollute the environment on a world scale there will be massive consequences for that.

No

Yes. And it’s too late to change man. Hang on to your denial if it floats yr boat.
