Damn liberals spreading lies about the environment again

[url]http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/31/health/climate-change-two-degrees-studies/index.html[/url] I wonder how much money these "scientists" got from the Hillary fund to come up with these "facts". I was going to add a line in for the more clear-minded revealing that I'm trolling, but it's just too hard. It doesn't get any more serious than this. I don't even know if I want to have kids anymore because I know this is what they're going to have to deal with. But of course, people will continue thinking this is a mass conspiracy because Al Gore flew on a jet. EDIT: I'm going to add all rebuttals here. Perhaps we will see a trend. Rebuttal 1: Scientists are sometimes wrong about the weather, therefore don't believe anything they say. Rebuttal 2: The world obviously isn't going to end, so pay no attention to environmental studies. Rebuttal 3: Bird flu, Ebola, et al. didn't end the world like the tabloids said, so don't worry about environmental research. Rebuttal 4: Science will progress a lot in 100 years, so relax. Rebuttal 5: Climate change doesn't matter because rising sea-levels are the only problem and we can solve that by moving uphill. Rebuttal 6: OP doesn't do everything he can to stop adding CO2 to the atmosphere, therefore his whole argument is wrong.

  • Also scientists are not sure about global warming. It needs to stop being taught as a fact with definitive outcomes and solutions because every single year predictions change fairly dramatically and not all aspects of the planets climate system are understood. A simple example is if you take the IPCC's most recent report it will differ from most other reports aimed at predicting the same thing. Actually given their predicted economic impact (like thats even a real estimate) it would be better for everyone economically to not waste money on subpar climate change policy and technology but just go about our business as normal. The 'science' is built upon many wild guesses and arbitrary predictions and they have no supporting data for drastic mitigation policy. Yes you should limit pollution and do your best not to harm the environment in every way possible from dams, to improper waste disposal, to oil spills but all this pseudoscience about CO2 being the devil detracts from other issues and makes something that may or may not be an issue into the single focus.
