Climate change ?

You believe anything don't you? When Archimedes was running around (circa 250 BC) they thought the world was round. They just thought it was only about 5,000 miles in diameter. They were wrong but they knew it was round. Columbus also knew the world was round as did the King and Queen of Spain. Most learned people knew the world was round. As for gravity...I don't know how far off you can be. No one disbelieved in the concept of gravity. They just didn't know what it was. Galileo showed that it was a constant when he dropped objects off the Tower of Pisa. Newton was able to craft a formula that worked and could be PROVEN over and over again. Here is a former scientific concept: if you go over 60 mph you will die. How about, it is impossible for something heavier than air to fly. How about medicine: You can't mix the blood of white people and black people. Sociological: White people are superior to Africans, Hispanics, and the Asians. These were all accepted scientific truths at one time but that does not mean that everyone believed them. Some knowledgable realized that black, white, brown, and yellow people could reproduce together so they were pretty much the same. A bird was heavier than air and it could fly. What would cause a person to die if they went over 60 mph? No answer from the believers.

You are a believer of shit. You are like the church that wanted to kill Galileo. You are the member of the orthodoxy that resists the evidence.

Actually you are not correct. If you were talking about global warming, then you would be more correct. But evidence for climate change is quite abundant. Animal migrations where they weren't because the regional climates ARE changed. The storms simpletons like Rio think are "proof" against climate change are actually strong evidence FOR. A while back I posted several links and data about the significantly increased number of major hurricanes. If Rio and his co-deniers would study a little physics they would see that heat changes do evaporate more moisture, do generate more pressure changes which show up as winds. But unfortunately it is easier for some people to just make silly stupid statements like the OP.

Under C is right--science will win out over simpletons. Science is right up there with demographics as an immutable reality. Jackie S is also right: the real question is how we will adapt and who will prosper, who will lose. The day we decided to rebuild New Orleans we made a stand for stupidity and putting our head in the sand. That will eventually change, but the question is how many dumb political based decisions will we make first.

We all know what they were talking about. Global warming period. They had to change the name because they were looking like fools. So you can go along with them and stay a true believer or you can acknowledge that they have been wrong pretty much every time and there is something more than science going on here.

It's a scam. 10,000-20,000 years ago NYC was under an ice sheet over a mile thick. Today: no ice sheet.

Copernicus proved the Earth revolved around the Sun, not the other way around. Today, politicians are trying to prove the Earth revolves around the government.

Climate patterns are changing. That's a scientific fact.

You don't even understand what the debate's about, do you?

Comes as no surprise, you're just spewing misinformation out your BUNGHOLE!

I understand that 97% of you is lies and the balance is bullshit !

That's what I understand, Yssup !
