remember it was the new ice age, then changed its mind to become Global Warming. Then it became Climate Change.
Remember they told us how we would all roast to death, the the big freeze happened and people dies in Britain of hypothermia.
You know "it became Climate Change" because a Republican strategist decided it sounded less scary than Global Warming, right?
Now the right is blaming the left for using the right's preferred terminology. Not for the last time.
Are you still pretending to yourself that it's not happening, or just lying to everyone else?
1979 was over 40 years ago and the climate had only been being measured for a decade or two at the time and without the aid of tools like satellites. It was still unclear whether the effects of carbon dioxide (warming) or pollution particles (cooling) would be more powerful. It's now blindingly obvious.
While we're at it, guess who had accurate predictions of human caused global warming? The oil companies.
"ExxonMobil’s flagrant hypocrisy about anthropogenic climate change was dragged into view in 2015 by investigative journalists who obtained internal company documents that proved the company was aware of global warming—and its causes—as early as 1977. The report provoked a massive public backlash, encapsulated by the popular hashtag #ExxonKnew, that has galvanized activists, lawyers, politicians, and other stakeholders to seek justice for the company’s deception.
Now, experts led by Geoffrey Supran, a historian of science at Harvard University, have revealed that ExxonMobil not only knew that fossil fuels were driving climate change decades ago, it actually produced some of the most accurate and skillful projections of global warming at that time. These predictions have so far largely held true until now, when rising temperatures have caused escalating natural disasters, biodiversity loss, and other calamities. "

It's all about money, politics and power over the people (control).
Climate change happens over thousands of years, not just 30 years when politicians want to scream about it with no scientific evidence.

Technically we are still living in the middle of an Ice Age known Specifically the Flandrian interglacial of the on going 2.5 million year old Quaternary ice Age.
An ice age is defined as having permanent ice on both poles an unstable environmental condition which has defines at best only 15% of Earth's history. The remaining 85% of earth's history has been defined by a more tropical ice free environment such as that which the dinosaurs enjoyed.
Of course when people speak of ice age they are speaking of the otherwise overdue return of the ice and end of the Flandrian interglacial. This will happen sooner or later, even if we did somehow burn up all of Earth's fossil fuel reserves we can at best delay it about 5 cycles.
Yes it is fact that humans are the main cause of our climate (not weather) getting warmer. Climate is the atmosphere. Weather is the effect we feel on the ground. Like it being 90 degrees in winter time…
It's definitely warning, and it's most likely caused by the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a result of a century of burning fossil fuels.
It’s all garbage to steal tax dollars and for the leftist to line their cronies financially. No different than City welfare and enslaving the blacks. Democrats still slave farmers…
No I don't. It's alarmism. If something is happening, the government should not be the solution.
Its pretty clear why man made global warming is a thing if one didn't sleep in class.
Those who believe the opposite are just as ignorant/intelligent as flat earthers.
No, I stopped believing in fairy tales when I was a kid!
The earth's climate changes. That's indisputable. How much of the change is influenced by human activity is up for debate.
Like everything else the government pushes, it's all about money.
