Re: Climate change poll
In my case the reason I believe the scientists is because I have seen it with my own eyes in my lifetime.Re: Climate change poll
Interesting questions, but the third one should read, "Exacerbated" rather than caused. As is, I have to vote no since the earth's climate is always changing and we are obvious in a warming period.Re: Climate change poll
In terms of climate change being caused by us, I'm not convinced, nor am I convinced we will fix it by rewinding. However, plastic in fish, pollution, bee decline, acid rain, erosion of the coral reefs, destruction of the Amazon and other rainforests, turning swathes of land into dessert. Yes we are guilty of royally crewing up the planet in ways that we certainly can reverse.Re: Climate change poll
We live on a lump of rock with a molten core, affected by our local star (The Sun) and by the gravitational pull of our satellite (The Moon). We are also subject to occasional impacts from meteorites. These four factors are the primary causes of the earth's constantly changing climate and our influence upon them is nil. Compared with those factors, "man made global warming" is pretty insignificant. What we have done however, is screw up our environment pretty effectively - which is something we can and should do something about.
