So - this is predicting cooler weather by 0.5 degrees Celsius that could last up to 40 years? This is not climate change ' this is due solar activity being out

So - this is predicting cooler weather by 0.5 degrees Celsius that could last up to 40 years?
This is not climate change ' this is due solar activity being out of alignment with the earth.
However, this may cause people to believe global warming may not vve caused by humans.
- api 8y agoIt would mitigate anthropogenic warming until the sun wakes back up, then wham-o and bye bye Miami.
- isoprophlex 8y agoAnd if we keep increasing CO2 concentration, a perfect shitstorm 40 years later once the effect wears off...
- guscost 8y agoHow is this not climate change? It's a (predicted) change in the climate.
- onion2k 8y agoWhen people say 'climate change' they mean 'man-made climate change' in the context of any normal discussion. That should be obvious.
- monochromatic 8y agoWhen people mean that, they should say anthropogenic.
- abootstrapper 8y agoBecause when people talk about “climate change” they’re mostly referring to the change in the climate due to the increase in carbon emissions due to human activity.
- guscost 8y agoGee, it’s almost as if the phrase means whatever is needed at the time to win an argument. When an opponent says that the evidence of anthropogenic cause and/or catastrophic effects doesn’t meet the threshold of proof they want before supporting regulatory schemes, oh look they are denying [that the] climate change[s]. It’s basic science! And if they say that of course the climate changes, has changed a lot more in the distant past than we’ve ever seen firsthand, and humans probably affect it in many ways, well they’re ignoring how the phrase “climate change” is used in the literature, which implies a particular anthropogenic cause and catastrophic effects!
- geggam 8y agoGee, it’s almost as if the phrase means whatever is needed at the time to win an argument. I find the internet to be mostly about this
- titzer 8y agoI think you're being downvoted because you pose a false dichotomy. Crazy people say stuff all the time. Say "A" and group X denounces you, say "not A" and group Y denounces you. They aren't always the same people. But regardless, I think you're giving a very cartoonish version of any of these scenarios, perhaps just due to brevity. But I'll counter by being brief, too. Yep, the climate is changing. It's mostly bad. Lots of shit is dying, and we could too. And it's mostly our fault.
- richrichardsson 8y agoAlready some people argue that global warming may be due to solar effects and nothing to do with human activity! (The one person who told me this was also a fervent be-Leave-r, maybe a coincidental piece of information, maybe not!)

- ThomPete 8y ago"Out of alignment with the earth' based on what criteria?
- starbeast 8y agoThe giant invisible space gears that keep all the orbits in place, of course. Also, that's what dark matter is made of.
- empath75 8y agoCooler by .5 degrees so instead of a 4 degree increase we might have a 3.5
