Do you believe in climate change/global warming?

[nintendofan85]

I personally do. How about you?

 

[mnm]

Only complete idiots don't. It's scientific fact and there's no evidence against it.

 

[Maiana]

Yep.
Took an Earth Science class last year and it really opened my eyes about the environment and what's happening in the world.
I believed in it in the first place but- the impact we have on the environment is HUGE.

 

[Psydye]

I do! People say the Earth goes through natural cycles but I believe we're also contributing to it. So it could be they're in tandem. Making for a rather nasty impact!

 

[Noctis]

I do. We're experiencing and seeing in with our own eyes. Not to say but we are also at fault we're ruining the planet we're living on. Anyone who doesn't believe in climate change is a fool.

 

[Lemonsky]

I definitely do, and I'm not sure if I'd personally call it just a matter of beliefs either.

 

[LadyDestani]

I do. I believe there is more than enough scientific proof out there. I don't understand how anybody can believe that the amount of toxins we create and spew into the air, the water and the ground would have no impact whatsoever.

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't say I believe in it. It's a fact. The effects are already being felt. Spring and autumn seem to be getting shorter every year.

 

[SensaiGallade]

You would have to be delusional to think Climate Change isn't real

 

[LambdaDelta]

honestly, even ignoring belief (though it's a fact, not an abstract concept like a god), it baffles me how some people absolutely refuse to make life changes for the possibility of it

like making changes at worst would just be slightly inconvenient. while doing nothing has far worse "worst" outcomes

I voted no not because it’s a complete hoax (it actually isn’t), but I don’t believe it’s a quick process like what people believe. I also believe that people who namecall others (or make negative assumptions about them) for denying climate change are bigots.

There are many climate change predictions in the past that has not come true. Global Warming is a theory, not a fact. You can’t accept theories as facts. Science can’t explain everything. If anything, we’re more likely heading to another ice age than a heated Earth. But then again, an ice age is more ecologically disastrous.

 

[buny]

it's not a matter of belief, it's not a religion. It's scientifically explained. please...

 

[Argo]

I personally do cause there is both scientific evidence and proof from my own life (ex. 74?F in February)

I completely agree w/ the bold. Seriously people, it's fine to disagree(which I do) but that doesn't mean you have to go around insulting each other.

Yeah, same here. I kept a detailed record of the temperatures in a diary in my childhood. I have it recorded in December of 2001 it hitting over 70 degrees and it being so mindblowing to me that could happen in December back then. Back then my family actually put away clothes for seasons, so like we didn't even have short sleeve shirts out at that time and we had to get them out and it was just very unprecedented.

Nowadays? 70 degrees is a common temperature in winter. We have winters where it practically hits that every single week. To think that just 18 years ago it was something that only happened once in a blue moon.

I've watched the climate drastically change in those 18 years where I live. I know 18 years is a short span of time relatively speaking, but really the pattern has become very clear.

 

[Stalfos]

Of course. The only thing which is debatable is how much we are contributing to climate change, not if. To dismiss it completely is both ignorant and uneducated.

 

[Romaki]

I don't believe science is up to beliefs.

But actually, making these changes would greatly benefit us in the future and we all know it.

 

[duckykate]

Imagine denying scientific facts, I could never

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

I also believe that people who namecall others (or make negative assumptions about them) for denying climate change are bigots.

i get that, but it's a very important issue and it can be frustrating to see people deny it, like anti-vaxxers trying to be different without a real argument against it

 

[MasterM64]

I think the climate change we are experiencing is something natural (I think it is natural for the world to go through warming and cooling cycles), but it has been accelerated rapidly by humanity burning more fossil fuels and an increase in methane production (from livestock, etc.). The world may be warmer than usual, but I would think rising sea levels will cause the earth to cool down and possibly cause longer winters over time which would essentially reverse global warming (kind of like another Ice Age perhaps?)...
