Its easy for us rich nations to say.

lol true, but as the technology gets better the costs will decrease for the older stuff

It is possible, if we still allow coal sales to third world countries the green revolution could do great good, if not then it could make the world a lot worse place for many.

Out of curiosity, since just about every credible scientist in the world knows climate change is cause by people, who am I supposed to listen too? You? Alex Jones? Or some other mentally unstable fruitcake?

Haven't scientists earned our trust at this point? Scientists have cured diseases, sent a man to the moon, unlocked the mysteries of atomic energy and on and on...... Hell, your using a computer right now to make a fool of yourself. Scientists made computers my friend.

Is not a creditable scientist on climate change?
I am not saying that climate change isn't happening, i am saying its not the huge deal it is made out to be, and many scientists agree.
The study that claims 97% of scientists agree with climate change is fundamentally flawed and has been debunked to shit, but its literally all you people have to cling to.

I'm not on either side of the argument, but I have one question. How did the Ice Age end if the Sun isn't the cause of the climate change? Surely the Sun is the most powerful impetus that we can possibly have in climate change?

In the last two centuries humans have been releasing carbon from the slow cycle into the fast cycle. The rise in carbon levels is easily attributable to this. This will certainly have some effect on climate.

Sure it will, but whether it will be a net positive or negative is the question, i think it will be a positive.

aren't ice ages attributed to the precession of earth? That is, the inclination of the axis changes from one extreme to the other in a cycle of 30 000 years or so.



the greenhouse effect is necessary for life on earth, and venus is an extreme example of the greenhouse effect. It's true the atmosphere is thicker, but it's mostly carbon dioxide.

So I see you don't disagree with the idea of anthropogenic climate change.
