Do you believe in climate change/global warming?

[Mr_Persona]

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

Hey l think you need to be nicer because if someone saw this message of yours, they won't be happy.

We all have to accept the theory now since there’s more evidence for it than against it, but I agree with you here. Even in a serious situation like this, it’s not worth insulting other people with generic insults or forcing others to agree with you. My no vote was to imply that it the theory was rather exaggerated than just untrue, but it sure didn’t hold up now.

I now believe that the idea that global warming is a myth isn’t about its existence, but rather about imposing regulations that may harm the economy or take away freedom. Another thing is that renewable energy is more expensive to produce less power than coal and oil, and it doesn’t work everywhere. And, it’s hard to abruptly switch to eco-friendly solutions because of human nature.

I thought of some other solutions to end global warming. We could do artificial photosynthesis or start using biofuels. Or, if someone is smart enough, they could invent something that would freeze the entire planet to solve our shrinking icecap problems.

I would agree on some solutions to save the environment, but other solutions, there’s no dice. I would switch to all renewable energy and mandate recycling, but to ban airplanes or ban meat production, that’s not going to fly with me.

Yes I do.

Does anyone know how to unvote, because l went to a quoted post and realized when l looked up that l voted "no" and not "yes"

I hate it when l vote so quickly and realized l clicked on wrong thing xD

Whats worth more, the economy and freedoms or the future of Earth and the life of others. What the heck if it hurts the economy a little and what freedom would it take away. The right to be able to inflict harm on the environment and others? The economy will recover over time. Changes require a bit of risk.

In addition, why not use the inventions and innovations we already have to help save the environment instead of think of new ideas. Its great that people have other ideas to help, but as long as they are just ideas and not reality they don't help at all and just slow progress down because people will just say wait till other ideas immerge.

Lastly, I agree with Aloan Apples that we should not ban airplanes or meat production and that the change should not be abruptly thrown at people with no warning. Change takes time



It is human nature to resist change, but when the change is for the better, everyone has to make sacrifices in order to benefit all. It is selfish and immature to ignore or refuse change for the better because it might not directly help you right away while others suffer.


Please don't take this as an attack on anyone, the only reason I am quoting someone is to make a rebuttal. I am not trying to call out anyone out.

The hypocrisy of uppity self-righteous people that claim to care about climate change yet live the exact same life as someone who is indifferent towards it or doesn’t believe it’s as big a deal as alarmist make it out to be, irks me.
Especially when it’s affluent, wealthy, political/Hollywood types, that speak so condescendingly to less affluent people, that are just trying to take care of their families; because they’re not voting how they want them to vote in order to “combat” climate change. What makes it even more ironic is that poor people are pretty much the pioneers of conservation, renewing, recycling, etc. Poor people don’t like to see things go to waste, they don’t like wasting energy; they carpool, bike, use public transit, etc. So it really bothers me when people flying private jets, owning 5 mansions they barely live in, and having the money yet not investing in renewable energy; speak down to poor, hardworking people whose lifestyles alone help the planet more than the baseless activism of many wasteful, wealthy and influential people.

I believe we need to become more sustainable, move towards powering our planet with renewable energy and I think it’s safe to say most people want to take care of the one planet they’ve ever lived in, even those that may feel like climate change isn’t a big deal. However, the way activist/alarmist are spreading awareness is often demeaning, rude, accusatory, and overall ineffective.

I believe innovation is the answer to combating climate change. I believe people with money should be investing in renewable energy to make it more affordable for the rest of us, I believe shaming people for not being as passionate about it as you is not contributing to the healing of our planet, it is a hinderance if anything. Show that you care with your actions. We all want out planet to thrive, no one is advocating for the destruction of Earth.

I don’t think it’s in issue of belief, it’s an issue of action. A lot of people have ideas but no plans. Show the world how amazing renewable energy is and they will follow suit.
The Hollywood hills should be a sea of shimmering solar panels, huge corporations that claim to care about the planet should be doing more than just supplying reusable shopping bags and donating to alarmists/politicians to “raise awareness”. Put your money where your mouth is. Invest in renewable energy so that the innovators can afford further research and development, to make production more efficient and make those services even more affordable for the rest of the world.

Ugh, people that whine about climate change are so annoying and hypocritical. I totally understand why people get dismissive, even to the point of denial. Obnoxious “activists” are not helping the cause.
