Where are the so-called ‘climate deniers’? Almost no one believes the climate isn’t changing; it always is. The issue is, what’s causing it, and is there an emergency?
It might be helpful if that embedded labelling was dropped as it leads to alienation, prohibiting coming-to-agreement through reasonable discussion. If you don’t think it’s complex, you need to learn more.
There’s no place for ‘my crowd versus your crowd’ battles, where emotions overtake the ability to get to the facts. There’s too much at stake to get it wrong, as many people could be harmed if we act hastily without knowing enough about the impacts of our decisions.
Open-mindedness and patience to listen to others is needed so we can move forward together. Now that many are waking-up to our collective response-ability it’s vital we respect all views of available evidence.
Unfortunately, I’ve not seen any opportunity for calm, reasoned discussion of all views. I know, many say that it’s already settled.
But whose word are they taking that 97 per cent of scientists agree? I’ve searched the internet and it’s clear the matter is not settled.
Anyone interested in a reasonable discussion, please contact me.
As we cycle along this well-worn track we recycle and peddle the old climatic cliches out to the pedestrians on the trodden earthen shoulder that Climate Change has got stuck in the chain and has stopped a cog. We bare a bit of teeth and peddle on that someone is down and taken a tumble and there is an emergency out there in the villages where they are at walking pace not pushing the issue, expending energy getting on their bike. The weather is changing. It is Climate Change.
A vehicle at 6000 engine revs goes by pushing out the carbon monoxide and the fumes and we begin to fume and we cough out the words “Climate Change” as it is no accident waiting to happen. Oh, it is so hard to breathe, is there a bushfire somewhere around here or is that smog just in Sydney?
Ken – you could check Professor Euan at
Deakin Uni or Rod Keenan ecosystem
science at University of Melbourne.
Finally Dudley some common sense on this
Global Warming subject, the eco anxiety
Is overwhelming humans to the point of no return.
To even have a rational debate on Global warming
Is out of the Question, blasphemy, deniers,
Or what ever else they may come up with to
Ridicule the majority of the World who have a open
Mind regarding the global warming emergency .
What ever that means ? As Dudley has rightly
Pointed out the Science is not settled! 97%
Of scientists worldwide all agree the world is in
A catastrophic stage is so far from the truth
It really is comical . The lectures, the hypocrisy
Will not cease until the all wealth of the world !
Is distributed evenly . It matters little if all
Fossil fuels where to cease worldwide tomorrow
The warmists would find another avenue to whinge
And moan . What Next ?
Thanks Ben.
