Yet, strangely, the majority aren’t making big changes in their own lives to accord with their Beliefs, such as giving up meat, fossil fuels, living in tiny homes, etc
(Washington Post) Fewer Republicans say they believe that there is a scientific consensus on climate change or that the effects of global warming have already begun, according to a new Gallup poll, which showed a widening partisan gap near record levels.
The moves comes after a year in which President Trump, who has called global warming a “hoax,†withdrew from the 2015 Paris climate accord and removed climate change from a list of top national security threats.
As Republicans moved in one direction, Democrats have moved in the other. An increasing number of Democrats believe that the effects of global warming have already begun and that warming will pose a “serious threat†in their lifetimes. As in earlier surveys, an overwhelming portion of Democrats are worried about climate change and link it to human activities.
Overall, 45 percent of those surveyed said global warming would pose a serious threat in their lifetimes, the highest overall percentage recorded since Gallup first asked the question in 1997. Despite partisan divisions, majorities of Americans as a whole continue to believe by wide margins that most scientists think global warming is taking place, that it is caused by human activities and that its effects have begun.
But as it did last year, the Gallup poll painted sharp differences between the two parties. Nine out of 10 Democrats worry about global warming and believe it is caused by human activities. Only a third of Republicans do. Seven in 10 Republicans think the seriousness of global warming is “generally exaggerated,†while only 1 in 25 Democrats do.
The only thing missing is actual science that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the majority or all of the minor warming during the current warm period is being caused by the actions of Mankind. You’d think Warmists would want this kind of fact to be out there, but, they are very much against making all the data and methods and sources transparent. But, they want to keep everything secret.
But, anyhow, I’ll ask yet again: if Warmists are so Concerned about man-caused climate change, why do they have such huge carbon footprints? Why are they not making big changes in their own lives?
According to your cartoon you believe the Earth is not warming. That shows your ignorance.
Scientific theories are rarely if ever proven “beyond a shadow of a doubt”. Either you know that and ignore it or are ignorant regarding scientific methods. You’re either dishonest or ignorant. Maybe both.
The current period of rapid warming is hardly minor when compared to the temperature record of the Holocene epoch, that geological period when the entirety of human civilization evolved. Importantly, there is no reason to expect the warming to stop without intervention.
