Not a potential terminal threat to the society? I guess you didn't read the veganism thread.
Just wondering, why now? Why not earlier or why not after 2 more posts?
Facts? Didn't you notice the FACT that Arctic climate warming is simply exploding since 40 years? Didn't you notice already +10 degrees Celsius Arctic temperature ANOMALIES, record-low sea ice extent and rapidly vanishing glaciers aroud the world? THESE are facts. Would you like to bother yourself to think about the reasons for this? We humans need to finally take the responsibility of this situation and stop to fool ourselves that it is not our fault.
Yes, Audio knowledge does not automatically imply about Earth's climate knowledge and we should stop discussing it here.

You're right but I am affraid misunderstanding the reasons of climate change around the world could result in deteriorating meritum of this thread with participation of people without educational background on this subject.
Have you tried having a reasoned discussion about veganism on "more suitable forums"? I have, no chance.
Maybe, but energy is radiated into space. More that we are releasing carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere.
Some of the most provocative evidence is visible from the air.

In before the lock down.
CO2 has been increasing steadily since the 50's but the global temperature hasn't. BTW, more CO2, better the plants grow. Good for vegetarians & vegans.
NOAA disagrees with you with respect to temperature change, as do many other credible organizations.

So much misplaced energy over the years in this debate. Majority of people on both sides can agree that the climate is changing, no? Seems that the issue is the causes and solutions that are constantly waved about. What we should be concerned about is our ability to react to it, and doing what we can to mitigate its effects until we have a solution to the problems it creates.
We will certainly see droughts, floods, wars, diseases, and a litany of other awful things that will challenge us... but what are we doing to prepare for it?
It's one thing to be constantly in debate, its another thing entirely to ignore the fact that people will need assistance from their fellow humans in times of disaster. These hurricanes we are seeing more of, and the debatable handling of the Syrian refugee crisis is an indicator that we need to be thinking about how to respond better to these events that we are guaranteed to see more of... regardless of whether we cut carbon emissions or keep burning coal to keep the house warm.

What makes more sense?

These days everyone can find a conspiracy website that supports their doubts and fears of the scientific society, even seeding doubt that scientists are part of some secret movement or conspiracy, e.g. funded by who else by George Soros or some kind of uber-elite Illuminati types, etc., etc.
In the past, those who gained knowledge generally fared better than those who did not. These days even people dumb as a rock have a cell phone, twitter account, post a blog about whatever they are doing, and in general feel like they know much about everything. I have first hand experience with this because I am closely related to such a person and sometimes conversation can be very painful. They can present vast amounts of "data" (crap they read on the wonderful world wide web) that it is impossible to present much of a defense using scientific rationale, etc. because the basis is unclear and inaccessible, often claimed to be "covered up" by governments and corporations (and George Soros, of course!).
While many consider George Orwell's 1984 as a dark foretelling of our future, to me it seems more like the movie Idiiocracy...
You are right of course.
We *did* have 500% higher CO2 levels before , and again you are right , it was NOT Man made
Maybe ... because humans didn´t yet exist, that is:
Dinosaur Era Had 5 Times Today's CO2
Maybe ... because humans didn´t yet exist, that is:
The fact that the earth can become inhospitable to any life form in a very short time (no matter what we do) is something no one wants to think about. Some here must have watched comet Shoemaker–Levy impact Jupiter.
