Are there any climate change deniers here on SW? FYI, Trump actually believes in it, he is simply denying it exists because he's a true master of manipulation and exploitation unlike any other US President.

Glaciers come and go. It’s how the Earth has always been. I am more concerned over the dumping of plastics and trash in the oceans than the supposed .00025 of a degree warming by the end of the century.

When China and other countries start doing half as much to stop pollution as the US does I will complain we aren’t doing enough.

@AnneHoney Indeed. Microplastics combined with glacial melting are a huge global problem. Microplastics are now being found in glaciers. They are ubiquitous.
