    Where are the scientific facts to support your argument?

    Who needs facts when you have feelings.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Can you provide your academic credentials or research to support your claims?

    I could provide with a temperature guideline over the past 2,000 years I think... but it wouldn't fit your narrative so I wont do it

    Over 97% of scientists believe in climate change, and that humanity will certainly suffer unimaginably if we do nothing.

    What does it cost any of us to put measures in place to stop it happening?

    most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position.

    But what do they know really vs some videos I watched on youtube done by a random guy.

    The 97 per cent figure has been debunked many times. It was a survey of a tiny few scientists and many didb't even reply.

    Climate change has become one of the causes that the liberal left have attached themselves to. Like most issues these people become attached to it has become a sort of cult. Anyone who even questions the consensus is labelled a 'denier' There are climate scientists in top US colleges who complain that funding is only given to scientists who accept human caused climate change and some are even afraid to voice their opinion for fear of the backlash.

    There is none.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    We can stop human causes of climate change but we cannot stop natural causes of climate change. There will always be massive climate change and there is nothing we can do about it.

    Often because it is quite faulty

    With our recent heatwave... the "top scientists", best in the world apparently... are now predicting doom on a biblical level.

    It is all bull**** and speculation of course. Nobody has the balls in that community to come forward and actually say that there is no problem.

    Funny thing is that these guys would protest a Nuclear power plant in a heartbeat, apparently not smart enough to relise that nuclear energy is the way forward!!!

    Do you know why the northern hemisphere is currently on fire? If the answer is no then you are not fit to challenge climate change.

    Even those that have the view that we have no significant impact on climate change accept that fossil fuels are finite. So once they are used up how are we to turn the lights on if we don’t invest in renewable energy?
