You don't think humans can modify the climate? Weather can be modified. Ever heard of Operation Popeye?

Also, climate change is continuous (there was the ice age, etc.. Weather patterns change, etc). Obviously I am not a scientist, but all the pollution we put in the air, I would have to think that it has at least a slight impact on our environment (in this case, it would be climate).

It might not be as bad as some people say, it could be worse. I really don't know, but I think the notion that someone thinks humans can not modify the climate on the planet is fricking stupid.

While I am not going to argue how much humans have impacted the climate the idea that we haven't or particularly we can't is simply absurd.

No, what's fricking stupid is that there are still idiots like you who choose to be willfully ignorant about the overwhelming evidence of man-made climate change. The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have been artificially raised considerably within a relatively short time frame. CO2 was proven to be a heat-trapping gas back in the 19th century by an English scientist. And it's long since come out that Exxon/Mobil and coal companies have been funding pseudo-scientific "studies" denying the threat of man-made climate change in order to protect their bottom line. It took literally millions of years for the fossil fuels to develop from which mankind has pumped the hundreds of trillions of metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in only about 150 years. And each molecule of that CO2 stays in the atmosphere for roughly 100 years. Do the math. it's no wonder that the last five years have set a record globally for being the hottest on record. It's known as the greenhouse effect, for you willfully ignorant people. What's really laughable is when lying idiots like Trump or James Inhoff go berserk when there's a big snowstorm somewhere in the country in the middle of winter, as if THAT right there "disproves" man-made climate change. Totally ludicrous.
I remember the idiotic science-deniers like you who tried to push back about doing anything about the hole in the ozone layer too. Thank God those morons lost that argument.
