The climate on planet earth has been continually changing ever since its formation. The poles even reversed. The earth is nearing the sun with every trip around it. Global warming is a given. The question is how much have humans changed it during the last 120 years.
To break it down, unless all humans go back to living like cavemen, then nothing is going to slow any acceleration humans have made in climate change. Alternative energy requires fossil fuels to mine and manufacture. The science being overlooked is all the copper, aluminum, lithium, uranium, etc., that would be required, would cause more devastation to the environment than the continued burning of fossil fuels.
You cannot get something from nothing. For ever action there is an opposite an equal reaction. With this in mind, yes, there is scientific proof of climate change, but little evidense that what humans have done in the last 120 years is the sole cause of it or has done more damage than things like volcanos and meteor strikes, things we have no control over.
66 million years ago, the earths climate was changed drastically when a meteor struck the Yucatan Peninsula.
If we look back, to the previous interglacial period, which peaked around 125,000 years ago, we do find evidence of warmer temperatures. The evidence suggests the long-term average temperature was probably no more than 1.5 C above preindustrial levels. About the current global warming level.
The ring of fire is long over due for causing unspeakable devastation to life in the Pacific bordering countries. Its effect on the entire globe is unknown. The plate techonics is what will cause this. Plate Techonics was in action long before the industrial period. When it happens, it won't have any connection to global warming. It is just the way the earth works.
I think it rather arrogant for anyone to claim humans are going to destroy the earth with fossil fuels. Scientific history reveals that the earth will destroy us. Maybe an all out nuclear war would knock the earth out of orbit and destroy it, but I don't see that happening.
Yes, we could slightly reduce the acceleration of global warming if everyone in every country, including leaders, lived more privative, but no way are countries like China going to cooperate, giving up their vast highly polluting industrial stronghold on the world.
The sad thing is climate change isn't being discussed by real educated scientist with no political motive, but politicians that don't understand basic earth science or basic electricity.
Because of that fact and the fact that politics are forbidden here, that is all I will say about it.
