Human activity jeopardizing climatic mechanics; many scientifics prefer to say "yes" instead of "no", simple logic, and i think they are right in anyway.
We could also talk about endocrine disruptors but ppl are dumb the only things they can catch is the weather or simple things like "ice is melting"...

Because it shows people (mostly conservatives) the reality that god may not be in control. the idea that a death to the planet pre mature to the end times or returning of christ plays a psychological role.

Personal I found it hard to sift through the endless arguments that go both ways. I mean people aren't climatologists so either way your believing a side. I don't like taking a side on something i dont understand. though i do tend to think yes we are harming the planet.

Its hard for me when even looking at my own state new york in the 1950's we would get ridiculous amounts of snow. then it kinda of level off and we never got large snow storms now all the sudden we get a major blizzard every winter.

I like Louis ck's argument on religious people who aren't environmentalists. Paraphrased it was  "If you think god gave you this earth as a gift why wouldn't you want to take care of it?"

Recently the deniers have turned face on this issue and accepted humans are responsible.  They were still a decade or so behind, but they did finally make a lurch forward.

10 years ago the science wasnt nearly as empirically proven as it is today. what a shocker throwing funding produces better scientific results.

just because you came to a conclusion before it was 100% verified doesnt mean skeptics were wrong to be skeptical.

Science itself is built on skepticism so im not sure if youre just impulsive or a "bad winner" who feels the need to gloat when proven right.
