No not man made, please think out side that, is the climate changing
Will it be good or bad if it is
The link may not work if and when the thread gets a run, it is a report about today's report on climate change
Forget man made,is the climate changing
Yes in my view, will it be all bad? no in my view
The link mentions very dramatic increase in very bad weather, that would not be good
Is the climate changing in your view

I did not post this as a trap, have no intention of exploring man made climate change in this thread
But yes surely the climate is changing, if not please explain the world wide records broken
And too it always has changed, ice ages for a start
So do others agree it is changing
Will it be good in some places? will I or who ever follows be able to grow bananas here Avocados? please say yes to both
Is the climate changing

Dear Belly,

As an environmental sociologist I find it all very fascinating. Its interesting to study the effect that global warming and climate change are having on the human race and how people are debating not only the pros and cons of these but actually debating whether or not it is actually happening. Fantastic stuff! Really makes me happy I went into environmental sociology.

I research what scholars and scientists are saying and all the news coming out is pretty bad. Forget about the denialists. Twenty years ago they were getting a small following from the ignorant but now just about everyone treats them as a laughing stock. Why? Because people can now see unusual occurrences of severe droughts and floods and super storms that are ruining the planet they live in and they are not happy about it.

" is the climate changing"

Since it has been changing for the past 4 billion or so years, it'd be a miracle if it wasn't changing now.

So yes, the climate is changing. Basically its reverting back to something similar to the climate of that applied around 1000-1200 AD.

"Will it be good or bad if it is"

Deaths from climate-related catastrophes are down 99% from 1920 (http://climatechangedispatch.com/climate-related-deaths-down-by-98-9-last-year-all-time-low/) so probably good.

The world getting greener due to CO2 fertilisation. So probably good.

Food production per capita rising....so probably good.

Dear mhaze,

You absolutely amaze me. As an environmental sociologist I try to walk an impartial objective line but you really take the cake. Sometimes I say to myself 'Ignore him, he's just an an engineer.' Where on Earth do you get your ideas from? Your logic and reasoning are just so ridiculous. The only thing I can really say for certain is that you and I are definitely not on the same level. If Socrates was alive today to hear the way you put your arguments together he would die laughing.

"Where on Earth do you get your ideas from?"

The FACTS. You should try it sometime.

"Socrates....would die laughing."

Well he actually did die laughing. But I suspect you know as much about Socrates as you know about sociology...sweet FA
