Fair enough, but what is the metric for calling something "due to climate change"?
Because it seems to me that currently the blame for every drop of rain that falls above (or below) average is directly ascribed to the evil people in the suburbs driving their cars.
- op00to 3y agoRight, well. In that case, I suppose we shouldn't do anything at all. The issue isn't that something is "due to climate change". This is a false choice: "either it's due to climate change, or it's not". The extra energy in the atmosphere doesn't pick and choose where to apply itself. Every weather pattern is affected by climate change. Everything has its gain knob turned up a little more each year.
