I Think Global Climate Change Must Be Stopped

I am really frightened about the non-believers. Even if they don't believe the main cause is human activity, why can't they at least believe the evidence that Climate Change is real and we are bordering on the point of no return. When the far right claim that the evidence is all made up leftist propaganda, how do we fight it off?

The mad man Russ Limbaugh facing the incoming Hurricane Florence, is denying Climate Change and using his own experiences in hurricanes as proof that the hype is all an attempt to strength=then the resolve to fight Climate Change. See his column and read it, and react!

Climate change is called "weather".
It happened before we got here and it'll happen after we're gone.

@SoFine Ooooohhhh, there's plenty we can do to slow down if not stop global warming! We are becoming a third world in the race for it, other countries are finding ways...🌏️

there are defined, proven, safer ways to provide energy, to recoup the minerals needed from discarded devices. We have succeeded in slowing things down a little, reversing course now undos everything we have accomplished and puts more polluting, greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere. That is bad for our health, directly and provable, and leads to further increase damage.

@samueltyler2 What a convincing argument.
I am a engineer. Have refined mathematical weather models and I do not see "the trend", thus what is there to do? Worry?
@samueltyler2

That is a romantic novel.

"Mankind can"

No, mankind can not change the energy content of the earth.

That C02 or ozone or carbon particulate makes the world hotter is nonsense. Complete mathematical and physical nonsense.

I really hope you are not advocating high co2 electric cars?

Here is our chart ...


Trump got us out of the climate accord and our reduction of co2 soared.

We now LEAD everybody in co2 reduction. Only a few EU countries are even close to the goal they signed up for.

We met and exceeded VOLUNTARILY ... because we have stopped stupid EPA regulations.

This climate change stuff is just political nonsense.

@questionWeaver China didn't even make the chart huh. Lol wtf

@questionWeaver the fact that the regulations may have changed has had no effect n the green house gas emissions. the changes in power plants, etc., has been underway not for years. The TVA has essentially abandoned the use of coal, both for environmental and economic reasons. The auto fleet has been changing and resulted in decreases in the emission. fortunately, the roll back of EPA regulations is not yet effective, as for automobiles, the change doesn't occur until 2020. After that the difference in the release of CO2 changes between the projection under the old rues and the new. The savings is in dollars, but not adjusted for illness mitigation by breathing cleaner air and drinking cleaner water. Here are three slides from the EPA itself, it shows the change in the vehicles sold, the changes in the CO2 released under the newer regulations, and the calculated savings from the changes.

Do you really not want to try to affect the environment and make it better. If the other countries have not yet met there goals, is that reason for the US to reverse its leadership in these efforts?

Keep in mind the planet Mars is said to be warming as well and there are no SUVs or factories there. NOT all scientist agree, mostly the ones after a fast buck.

I think climate change is inevitable. The world climate is ever changing.
Remember the Middle East used to be tropical.
Here in the West it is quite noticeable that we are getting more and more dryer seasons. But who’s to say there won’t be a shift.
Also remember that we still have ice at both caps. This is called an “interglacial” period. This is normal. The ice will melt. And then the ice will return.
My thing isn’t global warming. We can adapt. My thing is global pollution. That needs to be addressed in a serious way.

I grew up on the edge of the Atlantic ocean in New Bern North Carolina. I know the house I lived in is no longer there. 😢I just cried. I'm afraid about the non-believers too, we are bordering on the point of no return...
curiousaboy · 26-30, M
yeah, it's must.
But governments of each country must gather and agree on certain criteria to stop this. but they shouldn't violate those rules and those rules has to published to the general people.

I see that, as is typical of him, Questionweaver has talked up all of the science he has done in this issue without actually providing proof, evidence, samples or links. What a fraud.

To little to late...That ship has sailed.. might as well enjoy it
