Anyone here disagree with the consensus opinion concerning Climate Change?

A consensus is defined as "a general agreement". From what I've read, these days around 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is occurring on our planet. And that increasing atmospheric carbon is at present the leading factor. And that the increase in this is due to a great extent (or even primarily) to human actvity.

I'm open to hearing dissenting opinions. If you feel that this consensus is misguided, please share your viewpoint and ideas.🙂
 

No "consensus" exists! Just a bunch of scientific guys claiming to know something! I don't buy a bit of it, forecasting climate change is beyond out capabilities due to the number of variables that cannot be predicted...

Move on please...
 
I live in the desert south west so I don't see ice melting. So I need visual proof that is happening.

OK it is now what?

Will it affect me?

Not in the time I have left to live but according to this info eventually all life on earth will be impacted not a good way.

Can I as one individual control the outcome NO. The only control I have is to be thankful I won't be around when the imbalance is totally in effect.
 
Climate change is real. I'm not sure how anyone can deny it. The oceans are getting warmer, the balance of nature has changed and storms are getting worse. Lohachara Island in India was washed away from rising sea levels due to global warming, as have five of the Soloman Islands. I could go on......

In fact, just in my personal experience, the weather in the UK is warmer than it used to be - Summer's feel as though they're going to kill you, and winters are very tepid.

There is some debate over the CAUSE of global warming. Is it man made, or just the cycle of the Earth. My take is fairly simple: It doesn't matter which. But to imagine man's actions have no effect on the Earth is unlikely. But whatever the cause, we have to find ways to deal with rising temps.

The rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere has been documented for decades, and correlates closely with industrial / man-made activity.
It's not rocket science, just climate science.
 
There is evidence for climate change. I watch shows on Alaska living sometimes, my parents watch them a lot, sort of sentimental to them as they lived there in '60 thru '62 when Dad was stationed there at a Nike missile base. They loved it there. But on the shows, there is obvious signs of climate change in the area. I used to think it was a political hoax, but it really isn't.

I don't think all the holes we've punctured in Earth's atmosphere have helped. All the rockets taking satellites up for our media, etc. is bound to have an impact on the amount of heat that can now come through the protective layers in our atmosphere. Look up pics of the Earth taken from satellites, we are surrounded by them, along with discarded missile boosters that are jettisoned at certain heights. A few things have returned to Earth, thankfully there is more water than land for stuff to land in on it's eventual return. "Space junk". Not just from US but several countries now use this tech. I think tv, and life in general was better before satellite tv. Just my opinion.

We've had several times in the Earth's history with dramatic weather changes. Compared to the Ice Age, the climate change we see now isn't so bad.
 
Are you asking about climate change broadly or global warming specifically? Yes, there is a difference.
It is not just global warming. The ocean currents are changing. We have never had so many anomalies in recorded weather events. Species are migrating to stay alive...sound familiar? :)

I figure in 20 years living is going to be tougher, and I'll be dead. So that is the older consensus view. :)

Did you know how many satellites Musk's Starlink has in orbit? Just about 8500. That's one application alone.
 
Hey, it simply doesn't matter what I think. Yes, I think human activity has made it worse but, I don't believe we're going to do anything that's going to make a much of a difference. No, I haven't been asked to give a lot of positive thinking seminars, but I am available most weekdays. ;)
 
Powerful people whose world revolves around finance, stocks, Wall Street, have always been the ones. Since the public scientific evidence is so strong now, many publicly work to thwart actions using backdoor media and politicians. Pretty much the same bull$hit as the Military Industrial Complex when I came of age in the late 1960s. Nothing new even then. Neoconservative and globalist agendas taught by Ivy League elite schools have in recent decades gone behind the backdoor.

Primary factors we have high home prices, homelessness, excessive immigration with the stupid manipulated public too confused to make sense of it. For two plus centuries, those wealthy in control of the US have bullied their ways, out of site, out of mind, of the more ethical and moral public, bulldozing over lives of native Americans, sea to sea, and then Mexico to get what they wanted.

But again, nothing just about the US. Worldwide Western superpowers in the age of colonialism were doing the same thing across the planet, carving the world up, while continually lying about how such was GOOD for those they rolled over while enslaving myriad innocents. And before that, the civilized world was continuously in wars caused by elites expanding their dominions, ala Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire. Goes way way way back to Mesopotamia when first civilization city states continually warred against each other.

So not worth pointing at armies of manipulated peons, but rather the elites. A reason, this peon Dropped Out, Tuned In, decades ago while thriving within the periphery of our country I greatly value and respect for the most part, making the most of what I can during my brief, all too short lifetime. The majority of ordinary citizens in this world, have never been intelligent enough to avoid being manipulated by elites with greedy agendas.

I believe in climate change and don't argue the matter with anyone, since most people who don't believe it would rather get their information from unqualified podcast hosts and corporate media rather than scientist who actually have hands on knowledge and experience.
 
No doubt there is climate change. All through the history of earth, there has been climate shifts. always have. I always suspect money as being a driving factor. You don't have to go too far back to see and read about someone always claiming the worlds going to flood, freeze, drought out, cook, famine or something and if we shovel dollars at the problem, we can solve it.
Man cannot stop climate change.

Well said and corporations don't mind sucking out all the planets resources just for money while endangering everyones health and lives.....and people fall for it.....SMH.
 
What I don't understand--it doesn't surprise me but I still don't understand--is why more than a few of the climate scientists who are in that 97 percent have gotten verifiable death threats from deniers. So you don't think that scientist knows what they're talking about. Why you want them to die?!

Because 2025 is all about extremes. People are being radicalized through Social Media. It is no longer sufficient to simply disagree, you have to hate along with it. That kind of thinking leads to extreme behaviors from people who think it's justified. The internet gives a sufficient level of anonymity to be rude, hateful, and angry most of the time.
 
Both, we can also do our part instead of blame and complancey.

We don't control corporations. It is estimated that 350,000 Chinese people die every year due to pollution. But everyone needs to make money to survive. I don't think most people consider the impact of their actions on the planet.
