The climate has always changed. Predicting the climate getting warmer when coming out of a mini ice age is hardly ground breaking. We were promised Manhattan would be underwater by now, that glaciers would be gone.

- Swenrekcah 4y agoThis is cherrypicking. Sure, predictions vary and some turn out to be too pessimistic, others too optimistic. The general trend is clear however and has been for decades.
- collyw 4y agoCherrypicking is exactly what both sides do. Every extreme weather event is now pointed at as "evidence". It would be nice to have both sides heard and debated instead of the hysteria led media we get. Look into Bjorn Lomborg. I have no idea how accurate his stuff is, but he is the only one that actually seems to take a pragmatic approach to the problem and looks at the bigger picture
- Swenrekcah 4y agoNo it’s not. The trend is clear, the world is warming, we know the mechanism, we know the cause and we can calculate at least some of the results and we know they’re bad. People saying “oh but things are always changing, there used to be an ice age” and things like that, completely ignore the pace of change. You don’t need to panic but please don’t bury your head in the sand.
