If you want to stick your fingers in your ears and yell "la la la I can't hear you" like a 5 year old without debate, then by all means go ahead, but why tell others to do the same? Wah wah wah this person doesn't agree with me I don't want to talk about it..
I’m happy to debate with anyone along lines of things like politics and economics and things where people can look at things in different ways and it’s a difference in philosophy.

I’m not going to engage with someone who refuses to believe in fact.

It’s the same as people who believe covid is a conspiracy.

If anyone has the fingers in their ears it’s you.
 
I spoke with the boss of Great Ormond Street a few weeks ago and he and the bosses of other children's hospitals across the country are pushing for movement on climate change precisely because the things that lead to pollution also worsen climate change.

You could pick so many things, from cleaner air, better energy security, cleaner waterways, healthier food, protecting ecosystems, or one of probably many other reasons to do things that will also, the scientists believe, help our climate. It feels like a no brainer tbh.
I've never said we shouldn't make an effort to stop pollution.. of course we should, what I'm saying is that the I don't believe that carbon dioxide has any links to climate change, it certainly never did in the past, in fact past levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have been many multiples of what they are today, 4000 PPM hundreds of millions of years ago didn't lead to run away climate change like the 410 PPM is doing now or so we are told, the 4000 PPM was during the cambrian explosion the greatest leap forward in life the planet ever saw. There is videos on YouTube showing the difference in plant growth in high carbon atmosphere compared to low carbon the difference is astonishing, bigger, stronger healthier plants grow in high carbon.

It’s as if you’ve read about science without actually learning anything from it. Do you thrive in a high CO2 atmosphere? Does most animal life?

I don't know I've never been in in a high carbon dioxide atmosphere, only the extremely low carbon dioxide atmosphere we currently live in.

The way I think about climate change and global warming is, that the vast consensus believe that this is an actual threat and is already causing severe environmental damage. If we can do something about it then we should make it a priority. I’m not a scientist or expert so I am trusting their authority on the matter. If the threat is being exaggerated and action we take is not needed and unnecessary then that’s great news, however, if the threat is as they say and we take no action then that would be disastrous so the obvious course of action is to believe it’s real and happening and act accordingly.
 
The actual Experts have been wrong time and time again.. the Maldives was predicted to be under water by 2018 and drinking water in the Maldives was predicted to be gone by 1992 neither happened, but at cop26 we were told we must act now to save the Maldives or it Could be under water by 2100.

Science predicted a virus pandemic, most people ignored it, our government ignored it as well, even its own report "Pegasus".

Know this place very well...They are not doing it for a laugh.

Would you still trust their authority if they were changing data? The hockey stick graph is a great example they left out the medieval warm period and the little ice age, this gave the impression of a perfectly stable climate only for the current warming trend to look severe.. in 1990 before the alarm there was a graph by the IPCC but 21 years later there was a new graph by the IPCC same organization same data fields different data figures just when it was needed for Al Gore to begin the hoax .

Have you seen how bad wild fires in the USA have been? proof of climate change its never burned as much? a major upward trend since 1986 what an odd year to start a graph I wonder why they started that year?

Look a graph since 1916, amazing to see that 1986 is near enough a record low, by starting the first graph at a low point it makes things look worse. Now look at how bad was it previously? Ignore that probably started by farmers clearing their land nothing to do with climate well that's the reason given as to why it's not relevant today, while leaving in current fires started by people.

I'd be more inclined to believe "experts" if they weren't changing historical data or starting graphs at a very specific year to make their claims look legitimate.

Like I said, will still trust their authority that current trends are due to climate change. Especially when correlated with things like this:


I don’t see why people have such a problem with just going with it. We could of course all be wrong but I don’t see what the detriment is to taking action. You could of course also be wrong with a huge detriment to taking no action. That’s what climate change deniers just don’t consider. It’s ridiculous.
 
A planets temperature in our solar system is determined by two things for the most part, proximity to the sun and atmosphere. Co2, chc gases and methane due to their atomic structure absorb and redistribute infrared radiation from the sun that would otherwise escape through the atmosphere, thus heating the planet. More co2, hotter planet. There is of course a natural carbon cycle that allows life to prosper, as a species we have pushed this out of balance by both increasing carbon output and reducing the planets capacity for photosynthesis through deforestation. To think hotter climates won't affect biodiversity, sea levels, crop yields, fresh water or weather events goes beyond stupidity. To deny this very very basic level of science requires a unique combination of ignorance and arrogance that means you should have been volleyed off a cliff at birth in the name of humanity.

It's not as simple as that, if we are wrong then taking action will have very serious consequences, currently the earth is not producing much carbon dioxide (naturally) humans are adding to it no question.
If we start removing carbon along with reducing carbon emissions, we'll be removing the very gas that's essential for plants to live and create oxygen.
The cost of acting if they are wrong is extremely serious.

I can’t see the motives behind scientists pressuring us into committing a massive act of self harm to be honest. In addition, without wishing to go too much into it, I think you’re reasoning there is extremely questionable as it would take something insane to happen for there to be a dangerous drop in CO2 levels.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.. you provide a graph that said here's proof that CO2 levels have never been higher.. by never they mean in the last thousand years.. explain why they would say never but only produce evidence of a thousand years? When there is evidence going back millions of years.
Even at the lowest point of the range of error co2 levels are far higher than now. CCC_Fig4_2_1.webp
