I’m so sick of hearing about climate change and the average person is too. We are suffering right now bc our President won’t let us produce our own energy at home. People care about their bottom line not the supposed change of the climate. The tide is turning on this issue.

incorrect. our fossil fuel production is at or above all time highs. however, our export of those fuels are also at all time highs. we are backing pro×ies with more than cash or munitions, we send fuel as well. think about how productive the economy is in "you crane" while facing Russia down. where's their fuel coming from?

Nobody's saying the planet won't be here. Nobody's saying nothing should ever change. What people are saying is that if the human-made component of this change continues at the pace it has been, life is likely to get significantly less comfortable for us humans, including for you.

You can go 100 mph in your car. If you were to do 0 to 100 mph in 1/100th of a second, you’d die because of the G-forces. The rate of change matters. Analogy to climate change. Yes, the climate has always changed, but we don’t have evidence of it changing this quickly.

Some of them probably do. It was in college where I learned about the natural climate changes that have occurred in the past. Those in the know have long realized the real dialogue should be about whether it is man-made or not. The sad truth is, a large segment of the US population is stuck at it's not real.

It's funny how politicized the discipline of climatology has become over the past few decades. I'm a Millennial and remember growing up in a time where so-called "climate change" was referred to as "global warming." I tend to err on the side of skepticism on this one knowing how politicians love to use the impending climate apocalypse as a means to justify their political ends. Not saying the human footprint has zero impact on our environment, but annual changes in temperature or weather pattern is an insufficient timeline to gauge whether this is a real phenomenon.

Living in the deep south, the place I live has had one tornado every 20 years since recorded history for the area. There is no increase in strength or number. Also, the temperature has moderated from what it was 30 years ago, the summers are cooler and the winters are warmer. I do not miss the weeks and weeks of over 100 degree temperatures in the summer from 30 years ago. All the record high temperatures were set in the 1930's and the record coldest were set in the 1910's.

We are currently in one of the 4 ice ages in the history of the Earth. The weather is likely to get warmer no matter what we do. However, it is possible that we could fall deeper into an ice age... that would be deadly on a worldwide level. The "extra" CO2 might be the only thing keeping us from getting much colder. A warmer Earth means more living area and more plants and more animals.
