Why don't we treat climate change with the rigor we give to terror attacks?

Why not just err on the side of caution and reap the other pay offs? Reducing pollution is what it all amounts to and by that you are reducing waste too. At the same you can reduce your waistline! It's all good.

You still refuse to answer the question of all of Australia is wrong and completely unscientific.

Also, carbon is not considered pollution any more than nitrogen or oxygen

Wait.

You think that human induced climate change isn't real?

What century are you in?
Wait, you think the end of the LIA wouldn't cause temps to start warming? What colour is the sky in your world?
Why was it warmer 2500 years ago than it is today? Hell, why was it warmer just 1000 years ago than it is today?

How does the Medieval Warm Period compare to current global temperatures?

While the Medieval Warm Period saw unusually warm temperatures in some regions, globally the planet was cooler than current conditions.

Climate Myth...
Medieval Warm Period was warmer
The Medieval Warm Period was warmer than current conditions. This means recent warming is not unusual and hence must be natural, not man-made.
One of the most often cited arguments of those skeptical of global warming is that the Medieval Warm Period (800-1400 AD) was as warm as or warmer than today. Using this as proof to say that we cannot be causing current warming is a faulty notion based upon rhetoric rather than science. So what are the holes in this line of thinking?

Firstly, evidence suggests that the Medieval Warm Period may have been warmer than today in many parts of the globe such as in the North Atlantic. This warming thereby allowed Vikings to travel further north than had been previously possible because of reductions in sea ice and land ice in the Arctic. However, evidence also suggests that some places were very much cooler than today including the tropical pacific. All in all, when the warm places are averaged out with the cool places, it becomes clear that the overall warmth was likely similar to early to mid 20th century warming
Tbe same is happening right now.

The FACT that is an obvious fraud.. a political and philosophical agenda that has not an ounce of scientific merit.. and in fact represents a pernicious cult deeply antagonistic to the human cause.. might be one of the reasons.

In fact this quasi spirituality has become increasing desperate and outrageous in its claims as its predictions and pseudo science fall apart.

Maybe there's one way to deal with this "Climate Change"...................Question the validity but act as though it's true! :)

Humans will cause an adverse effect on nature. Especially as the population explodes. All you have to do is look up at the sky over a large city to see that. Doesn't take a scientist. We reproduce like locusts and devour everything in our path. LOL. So if you can do two things, teach people to stop being gluttons,,,and stop fukking, you may get a good handle on solving this environmental infection. :).
