Where did this stat come from? Our environmental science teacher says it’s incontrovertible. I’ve never seen a survey. What constitutes a scientist? Climatologist? I googled and read it was based on the reading of climate change article abstracts and that 97% of the abstracts supported the notion that almost everyone agrees we have to do something about cc now. Chuck Todd says we shouldn’t even debate the science is settled. MSM agrees. Most politicians do as well. So please respond with your thoughts and help.

I got my survey the other day.

I'll share here:



Do you believe in man-made climate change?

___yes.


____no, I only believe in man-made climate change

It's such a cop out study. You'd have to be an idiot to see how humans exist and think we don't have some affect on the climate. The question should be how much do we affect it. Probably not as much as carbon tax types would want us to believe.

Good question because I have wondered the same thing. I keep hearing this but I keep seeing prominent scientists proposing alternate theories and poking holes in the manipulated data that is published.

Al Gore said in 2000 that the Polar Ice caps would be gone by 2010. AOC now says we have 12 yrs to doomsday.

The other question I have is that we are being told that rising sea levels will swamp us but I have not seen a mm rise is sea level presented to date despite the claim that polar ice is retreating and glaciers are melting. BTW, Glaciers have been melting for 10,000 yrs...

Total bullshite and anathema to science. A determination that something is absolute fact in an area with so many variables and remaining unknowns is ridiculous.

I took several environmental science courses in high school and college. The words "climate change" were in none of the textbooks or part of the curriculum.

It is a made up Boogeyman to scare idiots and impose regulations/collect taxes.

The climate has been changing for billions of years, according to geologists.

Does human behavior impact the environment?

Absolutely.

Does human behavior impact "climate change"?

Possibly, but to a degree that it is irrelevant.

If these scientists replaced "climate change" with conservation they would be correct. But you can't scare people with the term conservation.

And conservation requires personal responsibility.

"Climate change" allows you to pass the buck to someone else. And to tax industries you don't like.

Big research. You get more dollars researching supposed pending catastrophes than the sugar concentration preferences of honeybees.

Agreed and the true solution to global warming and environmental damage in general is the world needs less people. Unfortunately humans are a cancer to the planet and only grow. A worldwide one child policy is what’s needed. I understand hat doesn’t hit the sustaining rate of 2.x but that’s the point.

My response is more of a "common sense" approach..

1st - Climate change is not new... its been around before humanity existed.. do we effect climate.. sure I can see that.. but we are already cycling out of an ice age.. doesn't make sense we are causing something that was already set in motion many centuries ago...

2nd - Meteorologists are just now getting to the point they can reasonable predict the weather of the next two weeks with ( what seems like) 75% to 80% accuracy. But you expect me to believe you can tell me with certainty catastrophic Climate Change which could be irreversible is imminent..??

3rd - Predictive Climate change as a science seems like a new thing and it makes absolutely no sense that something this new would be this certain... as an example this narrative has evolved over the last couple of decades (global warming vs climate change)..

These basically add up to I'm not buying...

They do, those same 97% also state that our impact is very minute. But that's never discussed by chuck Todds of the world.

I dont know where that idea comes from. 400 years ago was when we decided we were heliocentric. The Earth has been determined definitively to be a globe since ~450 BC
