The apocalypse has a new date: 2048.
Of course there's climate change. There's always been climate change. Dramatic climate changes and climate anomalies that have occurred way before it could be said that the cause was man made.
What you're asking is what proofs do I need that doomsday is around the corner.
Yes. It's 2019, the data is not congruent, the 70's saw more ozone depletion & now the issue is primarily Caebon dioxide.
And later on it will be something else. "Scientists have uncovered new data that radically alters what they've been saying for decades". Seems I hear or read a statement to that effect mighty often.
Are you just pretending to be stupid to get a rise out of us?
I'll maybe respond to you in the future if you quit using demeaning pejoratives.

Do you honesty believe that we can continue to deplete the Earth's resources at ever increasing rates w/o consequence?
In the late 70's when they first measured we depleted renewable resources a day or two shy of a year - we consumed what the planet could replenish. Now we hit that point by August, which means for the last 4 months of the year we're depleting renewable resources that the Earth cannot sustainably replace.
Is it beyond your ability to think critically about what the implications of this may be for the environment of the planet we depend on for survival?

I'd say according to you I'm too juvenile and stupid to be able to debate with the guy who discovered the cause and cure of autism.

What happened to the new ice age we're supposed to be in? The best climatologists of the 1970s say I should be covered in ice right now. It was warmer in the age of the Roman empire than it is predicted to be in the next few centuries at the rate we're claimed to be warming it(which itself gets proven to be too high every time it is checked with new data comparing past predictions to actuality).
@goldfish21, just because we have the most sophisticated equipment and advanced knowledge yet, doesn't mean we're close to knowing everything. Anyone in 1950 could have said the very same thing and been wrong then too.
This is what I pointed out earlier. For decades the powers that be have used "the sky is falling," scare tactics that never came true. Now that things are really actually happening, people don't believe it. Or maybe they refuse to believe it? (Cognitive dissonance?) Either way, all one has to do is take a look outside if you're not one to watch the news.. record storms, record temperatures everywhere around the world, winds so strong the scale has to be extended, ice melting, forests not only being cut down but dying, fewer animals/insects etc etc.. scientists are not making up scary bedtime stories; they're sounding the alarm bell in hopes that we wake up and save ourselves.
Those were scientific experts at the height of climate change science back then. They had just as much evidence and said the same exact stuff. My dad says it used to give him anxiety when he was a kid. I do take a look outside quite a bit and commune with nature quite a lot I am not noticing anything amiss, so that test isn't working. The weather is exactly normal. All the plants, animals, birds and fish are all the same as ever. Absolutely nothing has cased me to think that's strange or something isn't right here. Back when my dad was a kid, they were going on about record storms, record temperatures, record this and that, one doomsday prediction after the other on and on - same stuff back then as today. There was some guy saying the same exact stuff about climate change as you, 10 years before you were born.
All the animals are the same, save for threat of extinction.
The same thing was being said when you were a child. What all did they say was going to be extinct by now that isn't? Do you remember?
That's because we put those animals on the endangered species list in order to protect them. These days, Trump is taking animals off the list so that his sons, Udai and Koosai, can hunt them.
Ah so it's all about trump as usual.
Only stating an incontrovertible fact.
What that climate change scare tactics are increasing as anti-trump propaganda?
No, it's anti-right wing propaganda. The political right has for years been merging with the religious right, in which the abhorrent dominionist theology (that animals and the natural world are here to do with what we will) has been adopted more and more by the mainstream right. If you as a conservative want to save any semblance of goodness and sanity, I'd suggest you fight against this.

Too juvenile to answer the question, I see.

You could vote independent and save the planet, too.
But what we do know is that your "conservative," party doesn't want to conserve anything. They want to drill, cut, mine, and burn as fast as they can to further enrich themselves and their friends while completely ignoring every scientist on the planet that's telling them if they continue on this path they're going to destroy humanity's ability to inhabit this planet.
Non-conservative votes are basically a vote for science, common sense, and giving humans a fighting chance of survival.

No, actually my wife is almost done with dinner, and I'm waiting for the laundry to get done, and so I'm a bit too distracted to rewrite everything Goldfish said in my own words.
