mhaze mate! do you understand?
Are you aware your constant verbal nit picking is a bit mad
YOU do not know, can not tell me, if the change is forever, if it will worsen, if it will be good or bad
What causes it is the subject of another active thread

Surprising enough this thread and m haze have been on my mind
Pottering around out side, [still making two Budgie Averys for a fast growing population] it irks me
See from post one I made it clear I thought we should not talk about why the climate is changing
Wanted to know if others think it is
And as most of us think it is what are the impacts
IF we talk about why it is changing we will gather under our flag [political viewpoint] and squabble
Other threads give us that ground to insult each other
What are the impacts, the bad the good the chances of increased drought or indeed more rain in some areas

There's an idea of confirmation bias that can be applied to climite change. The example I'll offer is a phenomena of bad things happening on Friday the 13th or that crazies come out on full moons. On both of these phenomenons people focus on the bad things or the weird things more on those types of days then they regularly focus on it throughout the year. Because they are looking for it, this makes every example of weirdness or of badness seem like it proves that full mons and Friday the 13th are sketchy times. But nothing is actually compared to see if these times are any different then the rest of the year that wasn't the focus.

The same idea can be applied to climate change. The idea of climate change and global warming is so widespread when there's an example of a hot day people think it's proof, or an example of wildfires then it must be proof. However, context is overlooked to see if this is how it usually is at that time of the year or if actual change occured outside of a focus and confirmation bias.

I honestly don't know what to say if climate change us happening or not because our observations are obscured by changes in the seasons, and by the issue being politicized instead of actually collecting data. The thing is that bad weather happens and has happened for longer then any of us have been around. Is it worse now or not to show a climate change on a world wide scale, or is it as it has always been but more focus on the Hurricanes, the earthquakes, the heat and cold as a bias to cherry pick proof of climate change.

I stand firm in the idea of localized climate change is real. We change our environments and that likely has greater influences in those local areas. World wide climate change thought may be nothing more then all our tempatures readings cron from large cities that are getting hotter due to our paving away the landscapes for roads and skyscrapers.

NNS sorry lost me, like your posts but not able to get that in my head
Climate change, here in my view is why we fight over it
Fake News
A term invented by the right, who made it to use it to cast doubt on anything said they disagree with
In fact they use Fake News TO LIE and then say the other side is using their product, Fake News
Confusing? great! that is exactly what they hoped to achieve
Nothing can be taken on face value, no one can trust any one, Fake News worked
We most of us the thinking ones know the climate has changed and seems to be continuing to
We too know some gain and some pain will result
Individual thinks kids using computers should not have opinions, even maybe bringing that change about
Climate is important, it serves us, we dare not think other wise
