Simple question. Can we all agree that the climate changes? With or without the influence of man?

Even without humans the climate has changed vastly, there was a era with tice as much oxygen in the atmosphere allowing for wolf sized spiders and eagle sized dragonflies. There was a era known as snowball earth were the entirety of the planet was covered in ice much more than the ice age most people know off. There was a period were all seas on earth were seas of magma rather than water and periods where earth was covered in water with only a few small islands and the lonely small continent of UR.

I don't thing we can all agree, but I do. The climate goes through long and short cycles and has for billions of years. The idea that too much CO2 production is causing "global warming" is a scam.
Notice that the people who are telling us to cut back on energy usage have private jets and yachts and multiple, energy guzzling cars and mansions.

Of course it does! No One is arguing to the contrary. What 97% of climatologists are saying is that we've exacerbated the problem, perhaps irrevocably so.

Here's my pictorial question:

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, I'm curious what caused temperature changes and sea level fluctuations when there were no factories.

Fun fact, did you know the reason Pompeii took so long to find was because ancient maps and texts showed it as a coastal city. People did not yet know about sea level fluctuation and only found it completely by accident. So the sea rising means it's simply returning to previous levels.

It has in the past. Not at this rate. Are you arguing that all the climate scientists are wrong? They are not.

[Slingblade1126]

Yes, actually I am arguing they are wrong. First of all, what scientist's? Second, I want proof! Show me how "man" has changed the climate. Show me how the "rate" has changed. I bet you can't.

[slatyb]

The data is clear. Every year has been hotter than the last. The ocean is warming rapidly. Sea levels are rising. Glaciers are melting all over the world. I don't even need data, I can just drive to Mt. Rainier and see the glacial retreat.

[NathanDavis]

well... it hasn't, it is either hot or cold, or in between... and it's always been that way, it has not changed...

[gatixek710]

Of course it changes. Me paying more taxes won't affect it.

Man is responsible for at least three-quarters of climate change.
