Global Warming. Fact or fiction??

Yes, so we should all try to cut pollution, hurting economies and people across the world, and watch the Earth continue to warm because that's what you think. I'm not going to listen to a former chair of Harvard who was ousted because of his politically incorrect ideas, I'm going to look at some mountains and form my own theory based on that.

Few people argue the validity of climate change. What many respected scientists are arguing is that it's a natural cycle.

So, in your perfect world, what happens if we drastically change our consumption, build alternative energies, fight pollution at every corner, and the planet continues to warm? At that point, you're the one who fucked our children by dedicating massive resources to something that didn't affect a damned thing in the end.

Find out what is causing it. Give dissenting scientists the money to prove their own findings. GET DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

Politicizing science is no different than what astronomers fought since the organization of the Catholic church... and look at how far that shit set us back as a functional race.

In a thermal system as large as the entire earth, the settling time is on the order of years and decades.  That means that the effect of anything that we do now will not be seen for a many years.

Any decision we make now will have the biggest impact on the next generation.
