it seems most of the climate change deniers are just afraid that the left will take away their ability to profit off of raping the land, and to hell with the future generations.

Left, Right, Middle doesn't matter if humanity does not address what we are doing to the climate we all die, end of story.

The midwest is only experiencing a taste of what mother nature can release upon us as we continue to ignore human contributions to climate change the storms will just become worse and worse. I kind of think people on the coasts should plan to take a stay away from home during the storm season...becuase its likely going to be really bad. People will probably die.


I'm more afraid of climate change hysteria causing some very bad decisions that will lead to a world war, than I am of climate change.

There are people who think I am stupid or ignorant for that statement no matter what evidence I offer to the contrary.

If anything, the results of climate change, such as massive crop failure and famine, mass population relocation and growing tides of refugees, etc, is more likely to start armed conflict.

You don't think increased natural disasters, famine, maybe even dwindling land mass won't lead to armed conflict?

Supporting terrorists and armed thugs will. Selling weapons to brutal dictatorships will. Stealing people's resources will. More important than the sun making the earth warmer.

They just seem like bizarro arbitrary cultish bags of ideology to me.

Just reacting by getting rid of things.

But I’m not into the paternalism of the “left wing,” either.

I guess the word "reactionary" makes sense as a synonym of "conservative": reacting to changes, wanting to conserve. But at this point in history it's just not necessarily true, although conservatives adhere to more "traditional" values, the status quo can be left wing.

The left wing can react by getting rid of things as well, like guns or meat. Or do you mean the right does this a lot more?

Climate change is real, the atmosphere is getting dangerously warmer due to these pesky hoomans but this one guy says that there's no evidence that it's causing more extreme weather. I guess? Hard to trust anything. Annoying to research. but it makes the most sense that it's a big deal, due to scientific consensus, the extreme weather is just a detail

If you read it you’d understand but most people just read the titles of bills. It’s sad. I could make a law that says to save the poor orphans and the laws all about banning gay relationships. It’d pass cause got to save the orphans. People are so lazy or stupid today.

It’s getting colder, anyways do some readin, earth has periods of really hot and really cold. Our current warm period has lasted too long, perhaps it’s humans that made it last too long either way earths going into one of its either hot or cold period, this has happen for millions of years. I’m sure ancient humans also thought it was their fault and so they sacrificed humans and animals to their gods.
Thousand of years ago uk was connected to Europe, it was called doverland I think, thousands of people lived on it. It went under the ocean thousands of years ago, is that global warming too? What about all the other ancient cities that went under water thousands of years ago, also global warming? Or perhaps earth been heading to a warmer period for thousands of years now. Remeber the bridge that connected North America and Asia? Suppose they was gobal warming to huh? But if it’s been happening long before humans industrized it’s probably has nothing to do with us and we can’t stop it anymore then dinosaurs could stop the ice age( of which there’s been a lot more then one) this has been happening since the earth formed.

Think of it like game of thrones. Winters coming and you can’t stop it.

Yes, all those things are proven to cause refugees and violence. But catastrophic climate change can potentially cause as much harm, or more.
