The responses were as grandiose as I expected. Start bashing a religion and the zealots come out in force.
Another lamentable issue in all this is that it's become impossible to have a calm, reasoned discussion about any of this. Take anything other than an extreme view and you get shouted down as a luddite.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoAn extreme view like "Even though widespread measurements of our planet indicate rapid, ecologically disastrous change is underway; hey lets do nothing in case it wasn't our fault"? 'Extreme' depends on the particular understanding of the situation I guess.
- Daishiman 10y agoDude, you're acting like you can't hear the absolutely, completely overwhelming scientific evidence. That makes you, by definition, a luddite. There is literally nothing to debate. No temperature charts that are not showing incredible amounts of energy being concentrated in the atmosphere and the oceans. Nothing that contradicts the incredible amount of CO2 accumulating in the oceans. The prediction of doom is not just a single one; it is an ensemble of dozens of models with multiple, variable parameters that assume great levels of uncertainty, and they still point at the same place. What are you exactly trying to demonstrate? What proof do you have that the overwhelming evidence and the (thus far) very succesful predictions of climate are wrong?
