You can’t tell me climate change isn’t real….

No danger of it happening here but flooding scares me the most. More so than earthquakes or fires and I live in those zones.

There isn’t a real debate. Just a political one.

doesn't have to be logical.  we fear what we fear.  i don't like the thought of muddy water and debris rushing everywhere.  and after the water recedes, you have sludge everywhere.  and what do you do with the water damage to your house? the mold that might come?  like i said, we are really in no danger of flooding but wet and muddy disasters freak me out.

If you don't think it's real and happening, you're an idiot.

And people died in huge numbers in famines - esp. w/the droughts.

I don't think we want to go back there.

the problem is, a lot of our legislators and the people (mainly old white men more concerned with amassing $$$ for themselves than helping the planet) who run the big businesses ARE dinosaurs- in their way of thinking, at least.  Otherwise they WOULD have looked at this and tried to do something sooner rather than leaving it waaaay too late. 

I am well aware of our horrific involvement in climate change and by no means am I trying to downplay how outrageous we humans as a whole are. Though I won't contend that we are the sole cause. And not because I think I'm some sort of smarty clown.

Like or not climate change will happen and the non believers have plenty historically to look back on, but they dont, therefore they will do nothing to stop it now. And some of these non believers are in powerful positions with followers galore. I hope they come around soon.

Bolded portion, not cool.

If your post was not a denial of climate change, I apologize for the misunderstanding.  Climate change has existed for millions of years comes across as a denial of climate change, it's one of the arguments the deniers frequently use.  There are significant and important differences between climate change when the dinosaurs were around and our current situation.  

If I had a dollar for every time we have a cold snap and someone I know posts something like "Ah, it snowed in the mountains today, so much for global warming!" blah blah blah. Listen Alan, global warming and climate change doesn't mean it's never going to get cold again you twit, and you'll be dead before shit gets really real. It'll be your grandkids who will be left with the mess you made. 


"Extreme heat weather warning issued in the UK by the Met Office for the first time ever, for parts of Wales and southern England"

To be fair, the "extreme heat warning" is for temperatures of only 33 C / 91 F, which to me is a perfect beach day, so......
