while we are in an interglacial period (heating period) and climate change is a natural occurrence, the speed and intensity of this heating period is extremely abnormal and directly correlates to the industrial revolution (all climate graphs cannot recreate our current conditions without the input of human activities/pollution, showing causation).

yes climate change is a natural occurrence and yes the earth goes through ice ages and warming periods. we are not directly CAUSING this current global warming but we have ACCELERATED it and made it worse than it would have been. the industrial revolution was a turning point for the climate that we cannot reverse, but we can mend by shrinking our carbon footprint and reducing waste and plastic usage!

I haven’t had snow during Christmas in 15 years

Since the Industrial Revolution humanity is actively changing the chemical composition of our atmosphere. (At one point it was toxic to human life with how much oxygen it had when the forests were thriving at the dawn of cellular life) the problem is CO^2 has a runaway effect where the planet captures more solar heat then it releases. If we can’t find a way to rebalance this earth may end up looking like venus. The only method we’ve known to terraform a planet thusfar is through exposure to life

im surprised no one brought up the fact that, when that hole in the ozone layer was discovered, people were asked to limit their use of aerosol cans (e.g. hair spray) and it decreased in size maybe i have the story wrong but that seems like a good indicator of climate change to me assuming i got it right

Who the hell else would have caused it?

I made a longer post about this, but TLDR look up the Suess effect. It is a measurable metric that suggests that since we started using fossil fuels, something in the atmosphere has changed dramatically.

Yes. Look up climate change and the Industrial Revolution.

Guys if u don’t understand how the current changes to our climate are majorly caused by humans you need to get off this app and pick up a textbook. No one who understands anything abt the atmosphere and chemistry thinks anthropogenic climate change is a hoax

Because we have done a ton a shit to pollute the earth. People got greedy and expected that the earth would replenish whatever they need. I don’t think oil is the largest problem either.

Why would climate change without any outside forces? Isn’t all change caused by outside forces? It deteriorated over time with advanced technology, cars, factories, humans throwing relatively new items like trash and plastics in water. They cut more trees down then they use to to not just build houses and burn some wood for fires to stay warm but to maintain all these factories ect.
