Do any of you really believe climate change is real? Or do you, like me, think it's a diversion?

I'm of the opinion Earth is warming naturally. It's a living planet. But I doubt man caused this and we can't change it

China and India are two of the biggest users of coal. The US is way down the list. Nobody cares but the US. Sad. What's gonna happen when we're older?
I know it's not polite to ask. But are you at least 18? You sound so intelligent

Climatologists have not once been right about major predictions in the last 60 years, so they're probably wrong now too.

I believe that climate change is real, but humans are not the root cause for what we are seeing today. The earth goes through heating and cooling cycles, both shorter term and longer term. The shorter term ones last for about 80 years, and the longer ones thousands. We are about 10,000 years overdue for a large cooling period, and don't forget that in the 1970's scientists were warning about another ice age coming.

In 2021, it's true that China was the main emitter of greenhouse gases (27% of the total). But US was not 'way down the list': it was at the 2d place, being responsible of 11% of the total. India emitted 6.6% of the total and EU was responsible of 6.4%.Alanjr wrote:

Also, "nobody cares but the US" is completely wrong. Partly because it ignores the efforts made by Europe in this field for the last 30 years or so. And let's not forget that Trump, who left the Paris Agreement and cut down funds used to fight global warming, was elected by... US citizens. This shows that, obviously, not everybody cares in the US.
Sorry if I sound rude towards your country, but that's the kind of narrow view of the world that I find very irritating.

The climate is changing - agreed. BUT Earth is a living planet. Some changes are natural. Some are more rapid because of man. But climate change is being used as the excuse (in California) to get rid of all gas engines soon. They can't even run homes and now they want electric cars. Duh! Look what happened in S. Africa!!
