Once you admit there is a problem, you will be able to be part of the solution.
What is the solution? And if you state one, how long would it take to have even a negligible affect on the temps?

If a government wanted to push an agenda, say to run up fuel and power prices. Then they would need scientists to pull it off. Strong arm scientists with 95% of funding and profit.
Thats a good point.
Everyone seems to remember Ike's farewell speech when he warned about the "military industrial complex"...but seem to forget that he also warned against the "politicization of science".
Why do you suppose that is?

That wasn't the claim.
That said...so what? species come and go based on their ability to adapt to nature. We are part of nature.
The claim was that life on earth is going extinct at an alarming rate. Humans are largely responsible.. blahblah you call humans a part of nature and thus it's natural causes. Reptiles and Amphibians (for example) are currently going extinct at a rate about 10,000 times higher than the rate of other organisms.. largely driven by habitat loss (development) and pollution. Roughly 1/3rd of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.
I guess the best argument for the deniers is that humans are simply an extinction level event and that's no big deal.. just nature doing its thing.
I just happen to find that argument retarded.

Maybe the world should go after the real polluters of this earth. China, India, you know places that pollute like crazy. Once you complete that you can come talk to me.

Not like I can do anything about them. Can only worry about your own fricking back yard. I'd regulate the absolute dogshit out of them if I had my way.

isn't that what most are climate change proponents are afraid of? a positive feedback loop
Warmists are cognizant of anthropogenic contributions to atmospheric CO2, beyond that there aren't many considerations. There is rarely if ever any address of preanthropogenic temperature effects on atmospheric CO2 levels. Their normal position is the 0.11MY ice age temp cycles were CO2 induced rather than the reverse.

Can you tell me what the global temp is "supposed to" be?
Can you tell me the average temp between the years 1701 and 1750?
I also thought that weather was not climate change or is it only climate change when it's warmer out?

Guess the government should just tax the shite out everyone and that will solve it.

because it's fricking dangerous. and it's hard to get much more political than the evangelical rights political stance/ideology on climate change and evolution

Increased extinction rate

Define the first claim and provide evidence for the second.
If you can't do that, stop wasting peoples time with your fears.
EDIT:
by the way..who is that guy in your gif?...whoever he is, you can tell he's a real scientist

What do you think has been the impact on anthropogenic climate change of tens of millions of humans moving from low greenhouse gas producing nations to Europe and the US over the past couple of decades?

Thats absurdist at best imo.
The burden of proof is always on the claimant...not the other way around.
I asked you in a previous post in this thread:
The "climate threat" has been carnival barked for the last half century.
Can you point to one (1) dire prediction that these con artists have predicted that has actually come to pass?

What is the time frame you're referring to?
