I know you think you're being sceptical, but you're not. You're just nay-saying automatically. I think that there are so many different aspects to consider with man made climate change that it is impossible to just have a universal answer of "yes" or "no" for the whole thing. Calling it by such an absolute term like "lie" is not right as far as I'm concerned. I like to think I approach climate change sensibly (although I'm sure you'll disagree). There are lots of different phenomenon that come under the banner of climate change, some may be happening, some may not. I don't buy into many of the climate changes that people say will happen as a result of man made emissions, I don't think it will "burn us alive" or anything like that. I do however, accept that some things are happening as a result of human emissions. Like I mentioned earlier, the oceans are becoming more acidic. This is due to CO2 emissions being absorbed by the ocean forming carbonic acid. The acidity has been rising since the industrial revolution, there is anatural absoption rate, but the rate has increased since we've been increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. I don't particularly have any reasonable doubt that climate change penomenon ocean acidification is happening, unlike some of the other phenomenon people claim, in which I do have doubt that they are happening. |
I doubt any "skeptic" or "nay-sayer" would deny the ocean is getting more acidic.
Where it says climate change you should read anthropogenic global warming. I think at some point the term climate change grew more popular than global warming. Possibly because climate change never ends and always needs a big pile of cash thrown against it to get "fixed".
