Current Events > Can you prove to me that humans dont affect climate change?

(+) Yeah! (+)

So with this heat and "new" headlines - the comment section of a lot of newspapers is usually a lot of arguing. Usually starts with "told you so", "same cycle as always", "cannot control it" or "fake news"

And it gets into flame wars from there -.-

My view is that scientists (most) are looking for the truth. And that those who dont will often be disproven "pretty fast", mostly because of how peer-review works. Its one thing to fool "me and you", but to fool someone most in your own field, especially over time, just seems unreal to me. Especially when the money is in the status quo. The billion dollar idea is to disprove climate change, right?

I also feel like its kinda like the tobacco and lead industry... the industry will fight to keep itself alive and the burden of proof... well, millions can die during

I guess its pretty clear that i believe that we affect climate - and i do so because i believe in peer reviewed science, not because i know any of this stuff (did some physics and engineering classes, but for all i know, math could just be a faulty construct... but i believe it works because ive had teachers who had to prove the theorem and explained how etc)

No, but I can tell you to shut the fuck up and get the same result

Idk how people can watch black smoke bellow out of exhaust pipes daily and think to themselves "yeah we're not doing any meaningful harm here."

No.
The important question is "how much?"

I wonder why urban heat islands are ignored in favor of CO2 panicking?

How much is basically what i thought was the new discussion, but underneath these news sites, the discussion is real vs fake O_o

Climate is changing, humans have some part in it, it will be a disaster with a billion plus lives lost, and people will profit off it, and driving a prius or catching the bus won't do a thing to stop it
