Should you believe in climate change?
"This is very hard for scientists to understand. The scientific evidence that humanity is having an effect on the climate is overwhelming and increasing every year. Yet public perception of this is confused."

You don't have to believe in the ocean, but if you jump in it, you're going to get wet.

I believe for every drop of rain that falls...
what foot said. |

You too can count rain drops to prove scientists are wrong. As Costello said, "What do they know." |
:lol:
Or as Kim Basinger once infamously said: Neil Simon? What does he know about comedy?" |
Or you can just walk between the raindrops.

I expect that in 50-100 years plus, those deriding the facts of climate change will look at ridiculous as the opponents of Darwin. Oh, wait. There are nutjobs out there who don't accept evolution to the extent they will not allow it to be taught to children. Still, at least they never qualify medically, due to their inability to grasp facts. Oh, wait. Sigh. |
I'm sorry, I've devoted my time to believing in Unicorns, Dragons, and Fairies. Don't have room for Climate Change.

Really? I think the dragons are mostly to blame.

It is amazing that the evidence for climate change and mans impact on the climate is overwhelming, yet there seems to be people who can argue the fact. I work with lots of guys who are staunch republicans and will argue that climate change is on a natural curve and mans impact is minimal.
I have a new project for myself though, I want to find out how many tons of waste products are put into the atmosphere by man made stuff, autos, planes, factories, homes etc...and put that into terms of how many volcanoes would have to erupt per week to match that output per week. |

Of course, that's a limited sub-set of all the man-made emissions from all sources, and from around the world. |
A good article on the combined effect of climate change and peak oil.

I think part of the problem is that they initially used the term global warming, instead of climate change.
