It isn't possible to know. I have a bachelor of science and the very first thing I was taught was that correlation and causation are not the same thing, and you cannot infer one from the other. The planets climate is more complicated than that, and my original point remains. I have never said...

You believe that human beings are causing the planet's climate to change. Just say that, and don't say that you know it, because you don't. That's all I am asking. I want a clean environment, I want ecosystems and species saved from the harmful effects of human activity. I just don't want...

Well the name you give it does kind of matter. & I would never ridicule anyone who wants to limit thier impact on the environment, we all should want that. Spreading awareness about our impact on the environment is a very good thing. Spreading "awareness" about our impact on the climate goes...

I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone deny that the climate is changing? It's always changed, including long before we got here.

Without wishing to start a binfest, what leads you to believe that the planet is ****ed? If we so much as made her sneeze we'd be flung halfway across the galaxy. I don't really understand how everyone is so convinced the planet is ****ed? There is no question that we are doing damage to...
