The debate is over. I suggest that even entertaining a discussion about whether or not we are facing a climate change problem is foolish.
I think a debate regarding how to go about solving the problem is reasonable. There are various interests who should have a say.....so there will be differences of opinion.
But....if you are still discussing the very existence of the problem as though it is debatable.......you are wasting everyone's time.
What's the problem? Warmer?
Look at history, when it was warmer, mankind thrived.
Those periods were called climatic optimums.
When it was colder, people starved, died, in huge numbers.
So why is the temperature in 1980 or 1900 or whatever arbitrary year you pick, the perfect temperature?
It's not just getting "Warmer", though. It's the pace of change that causes ecosystems to die out.
When you have massive die-offs on coral reefs because the water is too warm, or coastal areas flooding because the water is too high, that's really a problem.
