I asked about "climate change". You are talking about "global warming" as if I asked about that.
Are you saying these concepts are equivalent to the aforementioned 99% of scientists and experts?
I'm really not trying to act dense, just figure out what it is people even believe about this topic.
- pgodzin 10y agoI think "global warming" was rebranded as "climate change" to avoid people saying "well it's getting colder here!" as a rebuttal to its existence
- typomatic 10y agoYou're asking questions that could be answered with 10 seconds of Google use and you're being kind of impolite about it. That doesn't seem like a good strategy to engage with someone usefully.
- nonbel 10y agoI don't consider asking this question to be impolite: Can you give a quote from what you find after 10 seconds of googling that sums it up? This is getting off topic, but do you consider asking that to be impolite?
- vkou 10y agoThis is splitting hairs. The consequences of human-driven climate change are widely understood to include net warming of the globe.
- nonbel 10y agoFor example, if there is a new ice age triggered due to human activity, would that would agree with both the global warming and climate change ideas?
- vkou 10y agoIf cows were spherical, we could agree that cows were both cow-shaped, and sphere-shaped. They aren't, though.
- nonbel 10y agoSorry, I have no idea how this is relevant. I thought I was asking a pretty simple question: "What is it that the average person concerned about climate change actually believes is going on?" It appears this is the wrong place to get an answer to that question.
