RE: Man-made climate change can only be a belief
Have you looked into the possibility of a magnetic pole shift influencing the location of the Arctic? It makes one of the most reasonable climate change theories I've read so far.
This is many other factors. I'm sharing my opinion on why i contest that "climate change" MUST be MAN-MADE. it most certainly could be changing for all kinds of reasons.
If by magnetic pole shifting you mean when the poles flip, that is not a contributor to our currently observed changes. It would/could be a contributor if and when the flip occurs, but it has not as of yet.
Magnetic pole flips can take hundreds of years to play out. If they were any quicker, then every 13,000 years or so the entire earth would be washed clean. Recent studies have suggested that we are currently in the midst of a pole flip, meaning climate change isn't entirely the fault of humans.
Now i firmly believe that just our presence on earth contributes to climate change, by adding anything to an environment we stimulate a small change. But i don't believe for a second that it can be undone by driving a prius.
Nobody is talking about undoing what has already been done, the discussion is about mitigating further effects. You are right it's going to take a lot more than driving a prius.
I thought the discussion was about whether or not climate change is man made, and why or why not.
Regardless of the topic it's still refreshing to have an educated conversation with you people.
You are trying to fight against the concept that climate change isn't entirely man made? Well you are in luck, because all of the data supports that. We only are one contributing factor. :)
Your double negative threw me off for a second.
Let me clear up my point. I don't believe humans created climate change. It's been happening for millions of years and human history can only be traced back a few thousand years. I believe it's a natural occurrence that we aren't helping.
To put it simply, if i cut off one of your arms today, then tomorrow gave you a paper cut on your foot, the biggest problem is still that you've got an arm off.
