What I don't get is even if you don't believe in climate change everyone on earth should be a strong supporter of renewable energy. The amount of fossil fuel on earth is limited. What happens when we run out. Humanity will have to shift to renewable sources of energy eventually. The faster we make the pivot the better. I'm a massive fan of President Trump but I wish he would change his mind on climate change and renewable energy.

I doubt I will change any minds considering people are using arguments like well "CO2 is good for plants." How does that have anything to do with climate change? Water is good for humans and plants does that mean more tsunamis would be a good thing? The natrual carbon cycle (including plants) cannot absorb all the carbon produced once you factor in anthropogenic (human-made) carbon. That is the issue.
We can say with beyond a 99.98% degree of confidence that climate change is man made because not only has there been a spike on carbon dioxide but the vast majority of the increase is man-made carbon. We know this by measuring the concentration of 14C which has a half-life of 5700 years meaning it can't be produced from fossil fuels. Not to mention the fact that mankind's increase in carbon mimics the increase in carbon ppm. Increase of 40% since the industrial revolution.
Why is it so hard to accept that climate change is man-made?
Greenhouses want around 1000ppm co2. Just so you know. That is a "healthy" amount.
Yeah, that's true. Higher ppm is good for plants. We arn't plants though. The main issue is the extreme weather events and potential ice age that climate change is inducing. I don't understand why everyone on here keeps brining up plants lol.
If you believe that Kerry guy, that the earth is heating up, and then "oops it isn't now" and now you believe there is going to be an ice age, because uhhhh "science changed" you are a moron.
