“Prove to us via the scientific process, that climate change even exists.”
Climate change has existed since the creation of the planet due to natural forces. There have been at least five major ice ages in the earth’s history and periods where there was no ice even at the highest elevations. Only 15,000 years ago much of the planet was covered by ice.
Scientists tell us dinosaurs were wiped out by climate change resulting from the impact of a huge meteor which dramatically cooled the planet an killed many forms of plant and animal life.
The composition of the atmosphere has also changed dramatically during the planet’s history. CO2 level rose and fell long before humans appeared. Occasional massive meteor strikes have created more climate change in an instant than the human race has since the first humans stood upright and walked.
In 1883 the explosion of the volcano Krakatoa created an ash cloud that enveloped the globe and reduced global temperatures by 1.2 degrees centigrade in the year following the eruption and affected weather patterns around the planet for years. As many as 120,000 humans were killed in the explosion, the tsunami’s resulting from the explosion, and breathing the volcanic ash.
Climate change is real and climate change caused by natural forces, even single events such as volcanos, is much greater than the impact of the entire human race.
Where I live now used to have a LOT of ice on top of it.
Damn paleo hunters and their mastodon cookouts melted all of it!
