  1. I do wish people would stop talking about ‘climate change’. The climate has ‘changed’ for about 4 billion years when this 3rd rock from the sun emerged. The real issue is ‘global warming’, and how much humankind is complicit in this warming. That the planet is warming, and warming rather alarmingly rapidly is indubitable. What’s not quite as indubitable is how much human activity is contributing to this. On balance, having looked at the evidence, I happen to think that humans are significantly contributing to global warming through fossil fuel burning. Given this, it makes utter sense to phase out fossil fuels. With this caveat: we must do it sensibly. They will be needed for some time to come as the transition to renewables is made. Who knows? Given that we are currently in an inter-glacial period, 500 years down the line when we have stopped using fossil fuels, the planet might start a rapid cooling trend leading to that ever-promised next Ice Age, and there might be a desperate clamour to start burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible!

  3.  @billbogg3857  You omit to mention that the Little Ice Age was most likely largely caused by massive volcanic activity.

  4.  @moshedayan6698  Not totally sure about that.

  5. Certainly warming, Jimbo. You need to stop frying those chips or you could be left with egg on your face.😉🤣

  6.  @fredmercury1314  No. But correlation in certain cases can be rather strong evidence of causation. Like here.

  7.  @Melian_Dialogue  So are you saying that the past, say, 300 years since the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in the West, and the past 50-100 years of the Asian Industrial Revolution and their concomitant emitting of thousands of millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases has absolutely no bearing on the 1.1° Celsius rise in global temperature we have seen in that time?

  8.  @treadstone1970  Er, if you’d taken the trouble to read my post, I kinda made that point.

  9.  @fredmercury1314  I said it can ‘be rather strong evidence’; never said it proved anything. You need to be more forensic with your close reading, m8.😉

  10.  @fredmercury1314  Yes you did. You said “you can’t just assert correlation is causation for something”; I never asserted anything of the sort. You can’t even close read your own stuff, dipshit.
