Forums - General - Why some people in the US deny global warming?

PullusPardus on 15 August 2014

Saying it doesn't exist is like saying the earth never had climate changes. 

Do they think the earth just stays still and just randomly rains whenever it likes and then the clouds go "eh.. i'm bored" and we as humans never affect the world around us?

Because they deny reason.

Also a lot of them don't really deny the warming but more the cause of it.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

There's no hard evidence to support nor detract from the claim of "Global Warming"

NASA just launched a new satellite, OCO 2, a month ago, that over the next year or so, should give us the evidence to answer the ultimate environmental question of our time.

There is all the evidence to support it, Its nature.

Nature?  Really, is it that obvious?  Tell me,  is nature complaining about global warming?  Are animals getting too hot?  Are plants and trees just melting away?  And don't even start with the jump in forest fires on the west coast.

No because they adapt to changes.

No because they adapt to changes.

And humans do too.  So, what's the problem?

Global warming is pretty obvious


Yet the antartic ice seems to grow, whether that's good depends

Climate change is real. The earth will go on, species die, new species thrive. Life survived all kinds of extinction events. The question is whether humans can keep up with the changes. Good times ahead for countries with large uninhabited land masses in the northern latitudes. And plenty of money to be made if you go for a career in coastal management.
