You can do the actual hard work of trying to find out for yourself. John Stossel was right about two things, hurricanes do not show increasing pattern, and the global temperatures are indeed cyclic. Does our consumption of fossil fuel impact that? While reading this, you are impacting the CO2 levels, should you stop breathing to save the earth?
The use of fossil fuel and technology has made our lives better by a thousandfold, to neglect that and demand the destruction of technological advancements in the name of ecological arguments is the most common form of cannibalism that exists today. I think that alarmists do not care about penguins or polar bears, they are driven by their detest of change and desire to bring society down to their primitive levels of cognition. Innovators who use fuel have made the world we live in today, which was only in the realm of fiction a few hundred years ago.
Why do you want to hear from alarmists? Wouldn't you rather hear a debate with climate scientists on both sides?
It's obvious he has a bias about the topic... Probably doesn't believe climate change exists...
@Cutiebeauty For a denier, it's weird he'd be asking for a debate between alarmists and scientists. Not that I don't agree with you, just saying it's weird.
@bingst I think he's trying to setup a strawman...
@Cutiebeauty Yeah. Anyway, climate scientists tend to be conservative about the effects of climate change.
@Cutiebeauty There are some points in this regarding underestimating effects, from climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe (from her Global Weirding series).
I do not believe it is an urgent issue. It is one of the many issues we are facing among hunger, poverty, human rights violations, racism, violence, state sponsored atrocities, rich vs poor divide, lack of health care, lack of medical help, lack of medicine, lack of water, housing and so on. Climate change is not urgent, nor it is more important.
