Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted August 28, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 28, 2016 There are very few topics that illustrate the absolute ignorance on this forum like climate change. Many on here simply refuse to believe the facts or are simply too stupid to understand them. The definition of 'zombie theories' is a great explanation of the myths many of you believe in. Satellite-derived temperature readings ruled out the heat-island effect. Even "The Pause" (the so-called period post-1998 that showed very little warming of the planet for about 15 years) had been shattered. They are all now called "zombie theories," long since debunked myths about climate change that skeptics will continually bring up to counter the facts of man-made climate change. was no longer a skeptic. Humans were polluting the atmosphere to a point of no return. I had finally excluded all other possibilities. Had I flip-flopped? Well, that is what it would be called in politics. But in science, it is just an evolution of understanding. I concluded that my original theory of "it could be something else" wasn't likely the case.

As I tell my 11-year-old, "It's OK to be wrong as long as you learn from your mistakes." The records continue to be shattered every year. The 15 hottest years on record have been since 2001 except for 1998. 2016 will likely be the hottest year on record, breaking the old record set in 2015, and the beat goes on. With each year, with each major disaster, it becomes harder to be a skeptic of man-made climate change -- and that is why I am not one. http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/24/opinions/chad-myers-climate-change-weather/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Kivalo Posted August 28, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted August 28, 2016 I don't know of many people who dispute climate change, it's the man made part that many people have questions about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I have always maintained that we have a "pollution" problem. Whether or not you subscribe to man made climate change or not, we should not continue to pollute the fuck out of the planet. Every human walking the earth has toxins in their bodies from the polluted air, water and soil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Climate change has always existed. Liberals are also the most anti science people out there. Look at many of their views regarding GMO's and modern medicine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted August 28, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted August 28, 2016 This minor climate change warm up is a just a precursor to yellowstone blowing up. CO2 concentrations are at record levels there and rivers boiling where they havent before. Earthquakes galore going on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do not agree with is what is being done in the name of stopping it. We cannot stop it. The population is growing exponentially, the third world is advancing at a torrid pace, energy consumption is growing fast. We will burn every drop of oil, all the natural gas, and most likely all the coal. What we need to focus on is adapting to new and changing climates, not stopping what cannot be stopped. Taxing economies FOR CONSUMING ENERGY IS STUPID. LIBERALS ARE IDIOTS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS, BUT NOT REALLY, BECAUSE THEY FUCKING KNOW NOTHING WILL CHANGE, BUT THE SIZE OF THEIR WALLETS.
