Quote:The science is settled. Climate change is real and man made, settled.


Settled, just like these:


The earth is flat.

The earth is hollow.

Alchemy, turning any metals to gold.

Earth is cooling and will soon be in an ice age, 1970 's.

Blood letting to cure any illness.


I could on and on..............


Settled once and for all.
Scientists have been wrong in the past. Therefore, we can believe whatever we want to believe. And that's what we do. We pick a side, whichever one makes us most comfortable, and then we cherry pick some facts to back up our position and argue about it as if we actually knew something about it.


Dealing with climate change would be painful. So we'd rather not do it.


Personally, I think man made climate change is real and it's going to cause some problems. But I am an inveterate optimist, and I think we will somehow handle it.


I would add that I trust the scientific community a lot more than I trust the politicians who get campaign contributions from oil companies.


And it's kind of laughable to say scientists are in this for the money, and ignore the trillions of dollars that are earned by selling fossil fuels.


The idea that scientists would deliberately spread a falsehood in order to earn money is pretty slanderous.
