Way to belittle someone who disagrees with you, BV. There are actually lots of scientists who do disagree with the way the "climate movement" is going today. Yes, climate changes. That's how it goes. And most of this "science" is actually just computer models done by scientists whose grants and funds are made possible by governments who are expecting an outcome - it's getting warmer.

I mean, why do anything? We're all going to die by 2030 anyways.

Just because someone is skeptical of climate "science," doesn't mean that they believe in a flat Earth or that we can't build bridges. But you do you, continue belittling the people who disagree with you.

You miss BV's point: it's HAPPENING whether you (anyone) agrees with it (believes it), understands and acknowledges it (promotes facts), disagrees with it (disbelieves) or thinks it's a hoax (chooses to ignore facts to fit their narrative).

There are a number of things happening (that have happened) that show something is changing but here are 3 that are significant factors:

1. cold dependent trees are migrating northward
2. lightning occurring within 300 miles of the north pole
3. rising sea surfaces

Since you seem to be of the hoax minded, read this and tell me nothing is happening:

The Miami bridge to Key Biscayne sparks a new worry on Wall Street: rising seas

You are ignorant if you thought that was what I meant. But anyways, this conversation is boring because people just like to call one another names and this is getting nowhere. YES THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING. Happened before and guess what? It will happen again. But go ahead and alarm everyone.

What you meant was absolutely clear but your wording of it was just an red carpet for people who choose to ignore facts and then you do the usual 'of course the climate changes' garbage.

"Alarm everyone"? HA!

Who is "everyone"?

I don't give a shit if you continue to live your life ignoring facts or reinventing them to fit your little idea of a not-warming-world - just stay out of the way of the facts.

Since you don't believe it, why do you choose to say anything at all?

You were dropped on your head as kid, right? Yes, the Earth is warming. Yes, you are a douchebag.

Now that the thread has bloated completely off topic, I suppose the answer to its original query is: "Yes, but not likely."

At least with the global cooling scare of the 1970s, the politicians had the good sense to keep out of it.

Nothing divides a population quite like making a political issue out of something.

Politics = the curse of humanity.

If you want to see climate change, just wait for the next catastrophic volcanic eruption (or two): Following Mount Tambora in 1815 was the "Year Without a Summer".

As for all our plastic bags and straws and the like, the Earth will bury us just like it did ancient Sumeria.

There are a lot of signs (occurrences) happening yet for a good amount of people there is that refusal to acknowledge things are changing, have been changing and will continue to change in a manner that is not normal, the infamous 'climate changes and all that kind of denial.

Is the carbon footprint of a plane with 10 people in it the same as one that is full for a flight? Does that even matter? The plane is flying regardless. The carbon footprint doesn't shrink because of more people.

If the Stones are buying carbon quotas I have a ton of excellent acres of land they can buy in Louisiana.

Redhotcarpet: I'm sure you're aware that your links goes to right wing pundits? Not scientists. You criticize others for having an agenda but yet it's very clear you have one also.

Personally? I'm trying to remain neutral here. I do not have an agenda. It's very hard to process all information here. But clearly there are things to address.
And I find it hard to accept grown men attacking a young girl for addressing important issues concerning the climate.
