| Dark_Lord_2008 said: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/10/trumps-always-shifting-views-on-climate-change/573037/ Trump has changed his views on climate change. Before the election of 2016 he claimed climate change is a hoax and he does not believe in it. Now he believes in it but does not believe it is man made. Maybe climate change is due to environmental factors that are not caused by humans. There is climate change but humans are not responsible for it. It is like an earthquake, tidal wave, volcano, flood, storm, hurricane, solar flare, etc, an act of God that is not caused by humans. |
A bit of a jump from you denying the existence of climate change to now backing it... But still ignoring the overwhelming evidence of human influences that I provided prior. I guess some progress is better than absolutely nothing I guess?
Where do any of us get off in ignoring the majority consensus of the entire scientific community? These are people who are experts in their field... And they believe climate change is caused in-part by humans.
It's a sad day when individuals in society will place a politician like Trump with a ton of self-preserving interests and zero accreditation in the field above the majority of the scientific community.
Trump is not an expert, his opinion should hold zero weight on the matter... Yet here we are.

Well. Hydrogen is a good fuel replacement.
But in the mean-time there are cleaner alternatives to obtaining oil than extracting it out of the ground. Fuel crops are gaining more importance.

Keep in mind the time scales we are talking about here.
