People still think climate change is a hoax?

Alright, the world has existed for millions of years and humans have lived on it for millennia also. But the drastic changes happening in the natural world around us is alarming.

How do these deniers not see it?

What d'yall think? Is the whole climate change debate a bogeyman unleashed for I don't know what reasons.

Or is it something real that we all are responsible for?

It is true as I can see it.

@Donotfolowme you can see climate change? Please allow us to see thru your crystal ball
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
@Patriot96 and you can't?
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@Donotfolowme please enlighten us with your insight.
Climate change has been happening for 100s of billions of years.
How is it that you can see it in your short human existence

Climate change has been happening for 100s of billions of years.

Interesting, since the earth is 4.54 billion years old, and the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Please describe climate change in the hundreds of billions of years before the universe existed.

@windinhishair ok, 100snof millions

@Patriot96 So you think all the four seasons feel the same way as they have been for 100 of million years?

@Patriot96 You were only off by three orders of magnitude. That is close by MAGA standards.

@windinhishair oh well the thought was there. Very little on my part

@Patriot96 Of course there are changes over geologic time, as continents move, the amount of land varies, and the earth's rotation slows down. There were over 400 days in a year during the Devonian Period, so a day was shorter, but there were more of them in a year. Oxygen concentrations were much higher during the Carboniferous Period. Most of the last 500 million years haven't even seen polar ice caps. None of this has anything to do with the current climate, which is changing due to man's activities. And as the poster says, the changes are evident in a single human lifetime. The global temperature is much higher than it was 50 years ago, and the consensus of climate scientists is that man's activities are largely responsible.

@windinhishair actually global temps were higher in other tome periods including the roman period. Check out the temps during 1930s
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Patriot96 Nope.Global temperatures were not higher in the 1930s:

Nor were global temperatures higher during Roman times:

@windinhishair you mightbwant to recheck your stats
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@Patriot96 No need to. The earth is much warmer now than it has been in historical times, including the 1930s. I've provided sources. You haven't.
