I'll believe in global warming when it starts affecting me

All the information I get on it is from the media and internet. I don't know any scientists with first hand knowledge. So as far as I'm concerned I'm just hearing a bunch of fairy tales.

      What throws me off from it is that all the predictions these scientists made in the 90s never came true. By 2012 it was supposed to be apocalyptic. California and Florida was supposed to be in the ocean. Polar bears extinct. Ice caps melted. When in reality polar bear numbers have increased and the ice caps have grown.

      None of the predictions came true. So if they were wrong about that what else were they wrong about?

        Those were some of the scientific predictions. I remember in 1983 our teacher said something about Cali breaking off and I was looking at it thinking, "That piece of land is not going to just "break off". Anyways -

        Let us look at some of the other speculative things that have not come true since ohhh, early 80's (I was there)

        In the 1980's, we were all gonna die of AIDS or the USSR would nuke us in world war 3.
        IN 1984 they thought the govt would be spying on everyone.
        In 1988 there would be the rapture.
        In 1992 or 93, they REALLY thought the rapture would occur.
        In 2000, well you are old enough to remember that one.
        But then 2001 was the REAL millenium and the sky fell...
        May of 2011, another rapture... (see a pattern?)
        December 21st 2012 was suppose to be another end...
        Obama was suppose to be the Anti-christ. No really, people thought that.

        ANYways, That is just the ones I have seen.

        I wonder though what catastrophes they are trying to scare today's kids with?

      • The internet is an interesting tool.... its full of contradictory information, and its hard to believe anything on the inter5nwt sometimes.

        So long as this person looks for scholarly articles, they should find them convincing. I doubt they are looking for such articles however. They are probably reading stuff from places like The Huffington Post....

        Not simply for not believing in the media. But there’s plenty of information on this and if he’s that stupid to not see it then he’s not worth my time

        haha
        in media i read more ofter about sever changes. one point is that now we have more devices and technology to messre it.

        fearmongering ppl is good was to force tham do give you more taxes. also, noboy is "digging up old tweets" of scientists say that in year 2000 all Venice will be under water ect. they will said, well that's becouse of our eco new polecis, but eastern countrys polute every year so much more that if west does it on big, it wouden't even matter. i'm in this 22%, mostly bc i see politisions and media using it as fearmongering. also, weater changes, here, on saturn, and other planets.

          Because important people (like scientists) don't waste their time tweeting.

          You know, like 90% of what the US president does.

    Just do your own research from as wide a variety of sources as possible, and think critically about their origins. Whatever opinion you form through that is your own business. You don't have to just go along with whatever the mainstream media says, but if you're going to go against the grain then it's good to know your stuff.

    Now I believe in climate change as in the changing climate of the planet. Humans has a hand in it but not as much as nature does. Humans so narcissistic. How do we combat this?! I dont know but causing an economic crisis is not a solution. China isnt helping. I think the usa should be focusing more on the current situation now. To remain the worlds only superpower.

    How do you feel about the fact that there's no proof the space station exists?

    So pick up a book or a science magazine, it's better than just living with your head in the sand.

    oh cmmoon, your giving it 22%, i know, this site is for leftist bc they are more opened and question, but not any more, they don't have tolenarce and aren't open for different opinions, wearing maga hat is nowdays dangerous.

    those scientists are on the left and having their agenda, only crazyis leftist like AOC who belive in 11y the world will end bc of GW, like thay said many years ago that Venice will be all under water in year 2000, and now it's the same.
    using warmangering to get more taxes from ppl to make komunist society is an old tactic. stefan melaneux had few scientists who don't belive in GW and i lean more to tham.
    like, weather is alway changing, i think humans have not so big inpact, and westeren coutrys have really low impact with lowering carbom emmisions ect, becouse africa, china and india make many more emmisions. that first point. also, west don't pressure those coutrys to lower it bc oh oh they are develepting countrys.
    so, we realy handycap the productivity in the west to lower like % emisions when east have it bigger every year more.
