people who deny climate change
because of this massive cold spell half the country is under it seems to have given people the chance to deny that climate change is an actual thing.
what? are you nuts??? especially so for people that live in new England! normally we would have been under snow since November! 15 years ago there would have been perpetual snow cover from November till march. not this bullshit of a the first notable snow storm not happening till late December and immediately melting a few days later when it hits 60! we haven't had a terrible winter in years. it's been so mild. I remember schools not letting out for summer vacation till july because of all the snow days they had to make up for. that's unheard of now! what do you get out of denying climate change? why do some people feel it's some sort of conspiracy? there's an OBVIOUS change that anyone who's lived around here can easily notice. it isn't some distant spooky phenomenon that only scientist can detect. |

Re: people who deny climate change
Gas and oil companies spend MILLIONS a year on creating false doubt and spreading disinformation. So far, sadly it seems to be working really well. Makes me so mad that some people can't realize that. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Re: people who deny climate change
Personally, I think climate change is happening but it's not all down to human interference. Weather patterns aren't static and do change over time - it's only normal that weather gets hotter/cooler over long periods of time.
That's not to say that we as humans aren't partially responsible for our changing climate - we could be much kinder to the earth, and should focus on a more sustainable future. |

Re: people who deny climate change
I have been going to the same ski/fishing area now for 30 something years and things have changed.
As a kid 100 inches on the ski basin and a full lake was the norm. The lake I loved and at one time 11 miles long, average depth of 40 feet and up to 110 feet in some areas. Today is 4 miles long and averages 10 feet. The ski basin is sad, and so many dead trees all over the mountain. seems like it is a scam because the paper reports make it sound so great, but the truth is all the locals are shitting their pants. They report a 60 inch base, but that it total shit as I saw as many rocks as I did snow an many of the runs. Hope its just a 10 year phase/cycle or some shit like that.

Re: people who deny climate change
what I am trying to say is, 5 years ago they would say 40 inch base and the mountain was amazing. Today, they are saying 60 inch base but it aint even close to the 40 inch days.
Plus all the dead trees? Guess I live pretty far south in America and in a dessert. I am not sure if Colorado is as bad.

Re: people who deny climate change
I would like to see a Venn diagram featuring the climate change deniers and the evolution deniers. I'm willing to bet it's just a hair short of a perfect circle.

Re: people who deny climate change
People that reject scientific findings seem to think their (religious)way of life is being attacked through "science". They seem to think that the "science" being discussed is being used solely to degrade and attack their beliefs since their beliefs and science seem to conflict a lot. As if it's some sort of conspiracy against them so they're just very suspicious of everything.
