What you think about climate change?

most likely will get destroyed by "super earthquake" :lol:

like in Japan in 2011 and habitable area seems to declining due to radioactive from nuclear plant that melted down.
 
There is 50% chance that I believe about some portion of climate changes are caused by fuel fossil (man-made) and 100% chance from nature.
 
Any scienist or anyone stating for a fact humans have nothing to do with climate change. Is simply just stating an opinion based on faith.
No one can state that as a fact. Period.
But we do know a bunch of facts. Here are some facts that are not in dispute.
Humwns have poluted the oceans.
Humans have polluted the atmposhpere
Humans have clear cut rain forests
Humans have strip mined land
Humwans have hunted species to extinction
Humans have protected species due to us hunting them close to extinction. Cicil the lion is an example, and we know how well that worked for cicil, but i guess humans had nothing at all to do with that so.....
Human industrial farming like all large scale industry has consewquences...
We know the above as fact..
We can argue the above has abosulutly no effect on our world...and ignore it. Or we can look at our behavoure. And see it for what it is.
And act accordingly. I can never forget the tatse of that thickest smog of mexico city, mmmmm,.....so thick, so so very thick, im trying to wrap my head round the idea we humans have nothing at all to do with that....
Mmmmm
 
In terms of flooding, if all the ice in the world melted (unlikely all of it would) we'd realize a ~220ft (67M) increase in sea level. This would be a dramatic change in the landscape, but it wouldn't come close to wiping us out. It'd also happen over time and we'd have time to erect levees and dikes and manipulate the land to protect our cities.

This map simulates rises in sea level (anything over ~67M is highly improbably since it'd require more gain in volume than we have in ice): http://www.floodmap.net/

As for climate change, it's obvious the climate changes, it does all the time. Are we causing it? I think it's extremely likely we're effecting it. I mean, if you take a closed ecosystem, then over the course of a century burn a bunch of old fuels that sat in the ground and make a bunch of different gasses as a result and put those into the atmosphere, you're going to impact the ecosystem. To what degree is still up for debate.

People have mentioned that the earth is correcting itself, but what if it less like a balance scale and and instead something that has a tipping point and our impact is slowly shifting the center of gravity off center.

The truth of the matter is we don't know the long term effects of our impact. It might balance itself out, it might not. I think before we hit a tipping point (if there is one), we'll have the tech to terraform. We pretty much already do, it's just super expensive to do. It's not the best solution to the problem, it's a slippery slope that creates more reliance on technology. I don't know that it's the best way to live.
 
I do have another belief why we have very cold winters ,fires,Tornadoes,Quakes,Floods and droughts in U.S. But i cant get into religion. Its against the rules here.

It is myth to say that God controls the climate. :rofl:

Only wingnuts believe like that.

I'm sad about California and surrounding states in western US are suffering drought.

My doctor won't let me to stand outside to wait for bus or train to come in central/east US during spring and summer season due to heat rash and medical issue so I have to move to cool place in western states (California, Washington or Alaska) due to low humidity, but not going happen until I get a college degree in my hand in about one year.

As deafblind, it is extremely difficult to find a job, even a lot worse than deaf only.
