Want convince 99% of America that Climate Change needs immediate action? Address the following points (without vitriol, deception or animosity):
I'm not saying all these are ironclad facts, but this is what you're up against:
Alarmists have been wrong many times in the past. Cooling. Warming. 10 foot sea rise by 1980. No, 1990. No, 2000. No 2030, for sure this time.
Alarmists have been caught manipulating data, for the express purpose of convincing people through deception, and the community was less than eager to own up to it.
Alarmists cannot quantify how much of an impact man is having; attempts at measuring it lead to climate models, and climate models have only a slightly better track record than a bunch of stopped clocks at keeping time.
Everyone knows that the earth has warmed and cooled since it existed.
So everyone agrees that the world temperature changes constantly. But the alarmists can't quantify our impact with any accuracy, can't predict where it will go next with any certainty, but want everyone to drop everything to try to solve it.
You see a problem that must be solved at all costs, they see a cult peddling politics and money in place of science, using clean water and air as a hook to reach the masses who all want those things too, but without wanting to join the cult.
- dagss 8y ago"Everyone knows that the earth has warmed and cooled since it existed" This is where things get wrong. Previously warming and cooling has happened over thousands of years. What we see now is something different. A couple hundred years is "instant" in this context. https://xkcd.com/1732/ https://xkcd.com/1732/
- bjourne 8y agoSorry that I modded you down, but where is the cite for the claim 10 foot sea rise by XXXX year?
- _-david-_ 8y agoThe other issue is because of these theories there is push for new regulations and (carbon) taxes. This is going to cause people to be skeptical of the information.
