Quote:That all sounds good but how do you know what to look for and what is concerning? Like me you probably have no knowledge in the area.


Can you answer why it seems all climate change non believers seem to be right wing though?

 

1. The alarmist press does a good job of exaggerating what to be concerned about. Take sea level rise for example. 
Humanity only started significant CO2 release after WW2. Go to NOAA.gov and look through the tide gauge records. Do you see a change in the rate of sea level rise after WW2? The data says that there is no observable effect of CO2 on the rate of sea level rise. So who or what do you believe, the data or the prophets of doom?

 

You probably aren't old enough to remember the cold in the 1970s. I am. Warmer is better. A lot more people retire to Florida and Arizona than to Alaska and North Dakota.

 

2. First off, pretty much everyone believes that climate changes. The question is the role of enhanced CO2 in climate. Not every person who dismisses the alarmist claims is on the right. But most leftists put policy before science*, so that leaves mostly the political right to defend the science. The data shows that nothing bad is happening (outside of the way it always has been) and that the models that predict high rates of warming are wrong. Maybe the warming will continue unabated, and humanity will have to address it. But there is plenty of time to see what happens, rather than wasting trillions of dollars right now on worthless attempts to make the world colder.


 

*if you don't believe that's true, then at least admit that the left puts policy before (let's call it) evil. A murderer was elected and reelected to the Senate his entire life because of his political leanings. The current Dem nominee will be a woman who sold US policy for personal gain. She'll still get just about every vote from the progressives.
