Should be believe what we are told about "climate change"?

Question

Should be believe what we are told about "climate change"?

Answer 1

Sure, but only if you pay me money to go and do something about it.

Answer 2

Since nobody knows what to call it, "climate change" "global warming" and "global cooling" and each happens opposite of what should happen; i.e. if it's warm, it's global warming, if it's cold it's climate change ( cold in January in Michigan?  Who'd a thunk it!) and if it warms up in December, it's "climate change."  So people don't even know what to call it and we're supposed to pay for it.  I refuse.

Answer 3

yes, you should. just like all animals and plants, we too depend on the climate. google climate change on google. climate changes is real. and we are deteriorating our plannet slowly. the gas companies are the main cause but our goverments (most contries, inlucding the U.S) refused to accept the fact and put more funds into new technology.

Answer 4

Scientific approach says:

- you should question everything and be critical. This is what thousands of scientists do everyday.

=> never really on "I heard", "everybody knows", etc...

=> be suspicious of all political motivated messages. The scientific truth matters, not what people in your party say.

In the meanwhile, nobody was able to explain to me why increased greenhouse gases concentrations would not lead to a higher global average temperature.

Answer 5

yes, there are so many facts

Answer 6

ONLY NATURE can change the CLIMATE OUTSIDE. UNTIL WE AS HUMANS ALL OVER THE WORLD TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOGETHER TO DELETE GLOBAL WARMING.  http://www,socyberty.com/Activism/First-... MY THOUGHTS ARE IF YOU  get groups together, like schools, churches, clubs, etc. get salvage licenses to keep any rewards you find. good equiptment, safe training to extract from the sands of time that man has never touched forever and to lay a extra layer layer of sand on all our beaches and at the same time help in deleting Global Warming. a simple large task to help nature return to normal naturally. ANY OTHER WAY WOULD DESTROY ALL LIFE ON EARTH AND IT WOULD BE ARTIFICIAL.  HAVE A NICE DAY.

Answer 7

I am 77 and have Sean the climate get slightly better. When I was young we had dust storms that would almost kill U.

Answer 8

well my mom  says yes but my dad says no.

me?

i say yes the climate is changing and we are killing ourselves

Answer 9

I would think it only prudent to remain skeptical. The way I see it, many people jumped on the bandwagon for many reasons other than the truth.

Besides this debate becoming so political, the science itself is far from settled, contrary to what many AGW proponents claim.

Do you really think scientists truly understand the vast number of factors that drive earth's climate systems. Claiming that they do by itself, should at least raise a few eyebrows.

To add fuel to the fires of doubt, they then have the pomposity to claim the debate is over. Come on people can't you begin to smell a rat. This whole CO2 theory is  beginning to reek.

Answer 10

I think so.

Answer 11

yes of course!!!!! it's NOT a myth...

Answer 12

What do you mean should we or should we not believe? Open your eyes. This is not a myth. It's REAL and it's reality. If we pump smoke, gas, artificial chemicals into our air through cars, forest fires to clear forests for land investments, factories churning out millions of dollars worth of merchandise in clothes, cars, plastics, metals, the byproducts are released into our environment. We use man-made chemicals to kill bugs, that in turn makes us ill. All these and so much more happening to our ozone, our oceans, our air. Climate change is just one small price to pay for economical gains. Watch the movie "The Eleventh Hour" where Leonardo Di Carpio narrates about this.

Answer 13

No! There Global warming did not come true, so why believe in there climate change

Answer 14

Long ago I was told, "Believe nothing about what you hear, about 25% of what you read and maybe 50% of what you see with your own eyes." It works with many things, not just climate change.

Answer 15

There is a vast amount of evidence showing it, including past natural warmings that involved greenhouse gases, and close to zero evidence against it.

Here's one view of the data from NASA:

http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2...

Here's a less technical overview of the situation:

"Prior major warmings in Earth’s history, the most recent occurring 55 million years ago . . . resulted in the extinction of half or more of the species then on the planet."

http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/2008/State...

Here is an accounting of the scientific papers derived from the data:

http://norvig.com/oreskes.html

"The consensus was quantified in a Science study by Prof. Naomi Oreskes (Dec. 2004) in which she surveyed 928 scientific journal articles that matched the search [global climate change] at the ISI Web of Science. Of these, according to Oreskes, 75% agreed with the consensus view (either implicitly or explicitly), 25% took no stand one way or the other, and none rejected the consensus."

By all means consider whatever you can find on the topic, but beware of propaganda from the coal and oil industries, which often appear as scientific-looking articles, but are not peer-reviewed or published in established scientific journals:

Slamming the Climate Skeptic Scam

http://www.desmogblog.com/slamming-the-c...

"Few PR offences have been so obvious, so successful and so despicable as the attack on the scientific certainty of climate change.

I won't tell you what to believe, but for me it boils down to a situation where you can believe in science or live in denial.  Which will enable you to best prepare for the future?

Answer 16

Facts/ proof is in front of your face.  So yes we should.  But even if someone dosn't believe in global warming it would still be nice to reduce their carbon footprint to reduce pollution.

Answer 17

you should read everything on both sides of the argument and make up your own mind. I believe in climate change, i don't believe man can cause it tho
