>Sees real global warming deniers ITT

LOL
I don't deny global warming, but I do think it is ridiculously overblown.
I read the official report on climate change (It was something like 100+ pages long)

...It's not really overblown at all

If I can clarify

I don't think (I hope) anyone denies that global warming is a thing. Massive things like this are natural in our planet and we're overdue for many a thing, this included.

I think the people (like him) who say it's overblown, are saying humans effects on it are overblown. That's the thing people argue over, not that it's a thing. Now me personally, I listen to the evidence provided and it's no secret us polluting the atmosphere isn't good. Just look at Beijing. If you deny humans can have profound effects on the atmosphere and the delicate environment, then I personally think you are a fool.

The best part is the people outright denying evidence such as this (at least on the internet. Not with politicians), are the same ones who laugh at people for believing god. If that's not irony, I don't know what is.

I don't think you know what irony is.

Irony would be someone not believing in god, but secretly they are a god themself.

I was saying it was ironic because they laugh at people believing god and go "Lol no evidence! Science has proven it!", but then when global warming happens "Nah, I don't believe that", even though there is proof in front of our eyes. Like, 100% cold hard facts.

Edit: Or would that just be a double standard?

Naw I knew what he meant, the report goes over that just as much as it goes over the effects of climate change, plus different scenarios of how much CO2 could end up in the atmosphere and the effects of that. Like I said before, it's not that we're producing a majority of the CO2 being emitted, we're just producing MORE than the Earth can recycle naturally, and so it either stays in the atmosphere, or gets absorbed by the ocean, acidifying it (Carbon dioxide and water react to form Carbonic acid, Chemistry hooray)

You're assuming too much.

To believe takes energy.

You can choose not to believe in anything, and thus you won't be spending energy. You could not believe in god and science, because you don't feel like believing.

in your scenario I'd say it's just a logical fallacy to believe in a source for saying one thing, but then not the other 'cause you don't like it. That isn't however how it is. Science doesn't disprove of god, but they do prove that humans are causing global warming.

Oh, well that's true, yeah. Fair enough.

Yeah, that sounds right. Logical fallacy. Thanks for helping me out in a dumb moment.

When I'm saying it's overblown, I'm saying it's overhyped. People act as if humanity wouldn't be able to adapt to a shitty situation. If we have to live on a water world, we'll just find a way to genetically modify ourselves to breathe underwater. Or we'll just build IRL Rapture. Point being, climate change isn't going to extinct humanity. Will it shake things up? Absolutely. Will humanity adapt? Yes.
Everyone's aware that we'll adapt. The problem is that half of us will die, the conditions will be really fucking shitty, and no, if the situation happens, stuff like genetical engineering won't be a possibility.

It's a big fucking problem.
