More like "I don't trust people in power, even when they say fossil fuels are bad."
Ah yes, all these powerful scientists running the world...
You don't have to trust people in power, you can just look at the climate disasters happening all over the world at an accelerating pace each and every year.
What climate diasters? Its hot in the summer? Hurricanes still happen?
Its a slow boil, and its hard to tell the progression. We all learned how you can lie with stats in high school, and it looks just like that.
If you genuinely believe that then you're beyond hope.
I don't? Im saying that its hard to tell from the events that things are getting worse, or at least for a layman. And its easy to convince youself you're being lied to.
You don't even have to look at the news to find out things are getting worse. It's hotter with more heat waves and more extreme weather happening basically everywhere. Less and less snow in the winter too for the places that get snow.
Even without looking at the news, I have noticed things have changed from my childhood.
I don't know man. When I was a kid, summers were hot. And now 20 years later, summers are still hot. Without someone logging it, and me believing that person, I would have no idea that its getting hotter.
This has to be trolling
Could just be an American
Im doxxing myself a little here, but I remember as a kid, we would have a month of 115 degree weather. And today the high is 105 degrees. I don't think it reached 110 this summer. If I wasn't paying attention, I wouldn't notice a thing.
That's cool. I'm glad that we have your completely subjective experience to put our minds at ease.
Hey everyone. Your hear this person? Climate change is a myth. Today's weather is cooler than some randomly selected month is this Lemmy user's past. Let's keep pumping that dead dinosaur juice into our atmosphere!
No its not a myth. Do you lack reading comprehension? Lack the ability to hold hypothetical in your head?
Im saying that without trusting people, I wouldn't know climate change exists. I do trust those people, so I do know about climate change.
Your comment above denying the existence of increasing climate disasters suggests otherwise. Forgive me for actually reading through the entire comment thread with my horrendous comprehension.
I didn't deny jack shit. Learn to read and to hold a hypthetical in your head.
I apologize if I misunderstood what you meant. Sometimes meaning gets lost over text blah blah. Anyway, I'm going to touch some grass now. I hope that you have a nice day.
It's not hard to tell at all from the events that things are getting worse. One has to be utterly ignorant of what's happening in the world to claim that. The fact that somebody could genuinely believe what you're saying is frankly depressing.
This is the first year in history that our winter has been warm enough that our canal didn't freeze. This is the first year I've ever witnessed that there have been smoke warning due to wildfires. I've never seen wildfire smoke in my city period, and we had it for weeks! This isn't just happening where I live, it's happening everywhere.
You could always just look into the climate science findings yourself. High school level math/physics/chemistry education will see you through 99% of it.
Oh absolutely, but the average layman isn't going to understand and probably isn't going to bother
