Based on what I stated: Man thinks that we caused climate change and think we can control it. The best we can do is recognize it and adapt to it. If you think otherwise and want to convince me why don't you get all the Chicken Littles together and create a hurricane or something to show me that man can control the climate.
The existence of AGW is all that I advocate unconditionally. You have spent a lot of space here denying it. The remedies, regulations, and proposed fixes range from easy and smart to expensive and stupid and must each be considered on its own merits. Trying to do them all would be only slightly more stupid that doing nothing at all.
That's not what you said earlier. You said "The idea that what we do is big enough to affect climate change and to think that we can actually do somethinh about it is obsurd to me." Of course humans did not create climate change, but we have added our contributions to it significantly. This has been established. We can remove or reduce these contributions by the same means . . . human activity.
??? What about it? The Early Eocene Thermal Maximum was accompanied by a mass extinction of 35% of the earths fauna. I'm glad you agree that global warming produces catastrophes. This still has nothing to do with me denying evolution, something that I've never done. What do you think evolution is.
The earth evolved from it. But also, the amount of C02 that caused that would take us thousands of years at our pace to create. However the leading theory's on PETM was Methane which is 10X's more potent on temperature.
I have tons of proof that we can address many of the issues with AGW and I have discussed them at length on other threads. But you are just baiting me with question after question while you offer nothing to corroborate your stance. I ain't playing that game. Go read the dozen or so existing threads. Or offer something substantial to discuss.
Who says? In fact, humans have added 382 billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere. Ice cores reveal that we have gone fromm 280 parts per million to 396 ppm since the industrial revolution alone. There is no way that almost 400 billion tons of carbon added to the atmosphere cannot have had an effect. LINK
