does anyone honestly believe that we can stop the climate from changing? does anyone believe that there was a time in earth's history where the climate was not changing? let me tell you about a neat little cycle of climate change that the earth has had ever since the moon formed. its called "seasons", maybe you have heard of them. historically we have divided the constant climate change into 4 different "seasons" we call them "winter", "spring", "summer" and "autumn" (or "fall"). this continual cycle of climate change is caused by the wobble of earth on its axis, and the cycle repeats every year. there is long term climate change as well, which is constant and has never been halted in earth's history. we do not have the same climate that there was during the age of the dinosaurs (way more oxygen back then in the atmosphere, way less CO2 and no ice age because of it). i believe in climate change. i just don't believe it can be stopped. i don't believe that climate change is unnatural (although i do believe that humans have a non-negligible impact on it). what i don't believe is that it can be halted or stopped. even if we had thousands of years to design something to stop it, it would take more resources than are available on earth. perhaps one day in the future we will have giant mirrors in space that shine sunlight on the earth in patterns controlled by an immense AI that keeps the climate stable and unchanging. but we are a long way away from that, centuries, perhaps millennia. i also believe in greedy bankers who like to manipulate currency. we have a long history of that as well. it might be easier to stop climate change than it is to stop greedy bankers from finding new ways to fleece you out of your wealth.
