Welcome to global warming folks. This will become the new normal soon.

Not sure whether or not that's meant to be facetious.

If you really believe in global warming. Bla

Jesus. I don't have the energy for this. It's like arguing with flat Earthers. You don't have to "believe in" science and facts for them to be true. The sky is blue whether you like it or not. You not thinking it is doesn't stop it from being true. Science doesn't give a shit about you, it is a completely emotionless observation of our world.

Now, yes, science is always changing in the sense that we learn more about the world than we did before. (Such as the model of the atom most of us learned about in school growing up is considered dead wrong at this point. Modern quantum physics changed a lot about that.) But pulling conspiracy and politics into "we have damaged the atmosphere" is such a frustrating human trait, limiting the future of our species.

The Earth has been hurt by us. You thinking it hasn't been doesn't change anything at all.

tbh, badly informed, poorly-spoken climate change supporters are a greater danger to the cause than the actual critics. Not only have you argued that science is frequently wrong (opening the door to "Well, if even a scientific consensus is often wrong, why should we assume it's right about this?"), but you've raised the idea of belief being independent from reality which can be turned on you as well since the causes are seen as a belief.

Granted, I'm assuming you're an earnest believer and not a stealth-critic seeking to undermine it by pretending to believe while advancing terrible arguments.
