Climate change isnt something you [b][i]believe[/i][/b] in, its an irrefutable, empirical fact. Its as much of a fact as the earth orbiting the sun. So if you dont [b]believe[/b] in climate change then why would you believe there are 9 planets in our solar system? [spoiler]pluto is a planet, dont fuking discriminate [/spoiler]

    • Hey look! Scientifically illiterate people once again misinterpreting science to further their own agenda.

    • Even if you disagree with it wouldn't you still approve of all the good things that people do to help the planet? Have we stopped caring about the environment? We still have species dying out, ecosystems lost, and major species that we need are being killed. It's not just Climate Change, it's all problems relating to the environment. At least help the environment rather than disagreeing with one topic and not helping at all.

    • No Never did Anyone with a simple understanding of how the sun works would not believe in global warming.

      Rather than simply laugh at you for using infowars, I decided to read the article that they cited. The nasa article clearly states that: 1) the rate of Antarctic ice gain had decreased 2) it would not be unexpected for the gain to turn to loss. 3) the sea level is still rising In conclusion: don't use infowars.

      • Still though, can we at least make the planet cleaner and safer for future generations. I'm sure the coal and oil power plants are still releasing harmful chemicals.

        My Mom always told me to eat everything on my plate, otherwise the sun won't shine. Now I'm fat and we have global warming. GG Mom.

        • Yes, however Global-Warming is perfectly natural. Everyone seem to forget that we are [b]still[/b] coming out of the Ice Age.

          • The earth cools. The earth warms. Has been doing it for long before we got here. And it will be doing it long after we're gone.

            I do not know whether climate change is happening. Well, of course it happens all the time, let me be precise. I do not know whether human activity is causing climate change that will create a crisis. Maybe yes maybe no. I did generally believe it, until the link between saturated fat and heart disease was debunked. That is totally unrelated in a way. The reason it affected my views on climate change is that my faith in scientific consensus was reduced. We can't understand how saturated fat affects our bodies with hundreds of thousands of researchers, doctors and others able to put hundreds of thousands of patients through measurements or different medicines and treatments, but with a tiny sliver of the expertise and research and only one "patient" that is far beyond our scale with factors we can't control and in some cases can only guess, we understand the past present and future of the earth's climate? The earth is 4000 miles wide and the deepest any human has gone into it is 8 miles (0.002%). What is 9 miles below you right now? We think we know based on theories and indirect measurements but nobody has seen it with their own eyes. It is not possible for climate scientists to change any factors at a speed that supports research. For example, researchers cannot raise or lower solar output or volcanic activity or cloud cover or ocean currents to isolate and test specific factors, except via computer models, which can be garbage in garbage out. There are human cadavers in every medical school. A researcher can look at an artery sample or put a camera probe into a patient's heart or record the effect a drug has on the patient or analyze outcomes over time of 1000 people who change diet vs 1000 who do not change diet. And we know more about the earth than we know about the human body? And how come every time data seems to get in the way, a "truth squad" of scientists rushes to say the problem is real despite the new data? I expect that from bloggers and activists, but wouldn't serious scientists want to take time to analyze first? Why is there so much spin in this from both sides?

                I trust Nasa more than a third party site known for being wrong and misquoting Nasa specifically, go to the actually Nasa site. Nasa.gov I believe

                I knew someone would post this I ha been looking for it The funny thing is climate deniers would ignore scientists until it fits their agenda. While yes this was official nasa, just remember not to read the national geographic article, they reported wrong I've been hearing and that makes sense considering national geographic is owned by fox now. Ice is thickening at one part doesn't mean it's not melting at another. Notice how they didn't say "we were wrong about global warming". That's because you are taking a piece and justifying it to bend to your desired result. Edit: earth is part of a ecosystem. It will try whatever it can to maintain it's favorable conditions until it can't anymore and it will be too late

                • What I don't get is, and perhaps someone can answer me, how can humans say that they know what's going on with the ecosystem when they've been recording it for less that 0.001% of the earth's history? I mean, we've been recording these things for what, 100 or 200 years? In the millions of years that they say the earth has been around, we know nothing. It just doesn't add up, to me.

                  • It is growing. This is a fact. Now they don't know where the water is coming from. This is even more frightening. Most scientists still agree that the water rising is from global warming, but they don't know where ~half of the growth is coming from.
