Why do people deny climate change?Some claim that the science of climate change is not settled. Deniers suggest climate change is just part of the natural cycle. Or that climate models are unreliable and too sensitive to carbon dioxide.
Some even suggest that CO₂ is such a small part of the atmosphere it cannot have a large heating affect. Or that climate scientists are fixing the data to show the climate is changing (a global conspiracy that would take thousands of scientists in more than a 100 countries to pull off).
All these arguments are false and there is a clear consensus among scientists about the causes of climate change. The climate models that predict global temperature rises have remained very similar over the last 30 years despite the huge increase in complexity, showing it is a robust outcome of the science.
The shift in public opinion means that undermining the science will increasingly have little or no effect. So climate change deniers are switching to new tactics.
One of Britain's leading deniers, Nigel Lawson, the former UK chancellor, now agrees that humans are causing climate change, despite having founded the sceptic Global Warming Policy Foundation in 2009.
It says it is "open-minded on the contested science of global warming, [but] is deeply concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated". In other words, climate change is now about the cost not the science. -

2022-09-07 at 1:31 AM UTCA lot of people actually believe the word of someone else is some kind of evidence. Third-hand promises and vows of truth is not proof. Real evidence needs to be demonstrable. Real evidence is not some papers signed off by some person, group or faction, be it public, private, or otherwise. People confuse evidence with trust. Trust is not scientific. Demonstrable science is. You can bring all the promises and vows and testimonies in the world to the table, and it still isn't real evidence. Not first-hand evidence. It's second-hand evidence. Basically worthless.

I post these headlines for the entertainment. Fuck these humans, let them do their thing. I'll watch. I have no stake in the outcome anymore, I don't care what happens to you, I don't care what happens to your country. I don't care what happens to the species, you can all get fucked because it's fun to watch you destroy each other. I don't give a fuck what these boomers think or say. It is entertaining though.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Yeah it's kind of like you can look up "drown" in the dictionary and the formal definition is to DIE from water inhalation or whatever, it says it's a fatal thing, but the medical and professional consensus has determined there are several categories of drowning that are also non-fatal, but still considered 'drowning' although the Webster dictionary still says it's a fatal act. -

2022-09-07 at 12:58 PM UTC‘It’s getting extremely hard’: climate crisis forces China to ration electricity
The droughts have also been causing problems for farmers, with a shortage of drinking water among nearly 200,000 livestocks across farms in Sichuan. About 433,000 hectares (1,069,966 acres) of crops have been affected by the water shortages, with the resulting direct economic loss amounting to 3.5bn yuan, according to data released by Sichuan’s emergency management authorities.
Like China, countries in the northern hemisphere are experiencing unprecedented heatwaves and droughts this year, which reminds the world once again the stark reality of climate change. -
