It is all about the money. So they cant stop the climachanges, then they have to stop the oil, transports, shoting rockets into space, airplanes, cutting the forest, making and dumping off chemical things. We do not need too speed the proses or what. AND THAT I DONT BELIVE WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE THEY MUST FIRST CHANGE THE MONEY SYSTEM FIRST. So climate change is not a hoax. But trying to change the climate is the BIGGEST hoax i heard in my life.Yeah right stop airplanes, oil world over LOL :)

[Andreas Ostrem]

OOOOO OKEY so it is not a joke, i almost want cry, this is to stupid for me, if he said that for 20 years a go i would be more glad because this climate change is not any thing new. Good that someone at all in the politics takes a grip. Hope he will do the right things. Time is short in many cases. It is one big playground and they are all the same ether they now it or not. Someone is always pulling the string and they can never be stopped do you think he is ruling HA its only a face talking.

Wow both top comments cant spell worth a damn

O RLY WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My "you're having a hard time understanding pretty basic stuff" line came off more insulting than I meant for it to. That wasn't my intent.

Now of course when it comes to discovering the world/universe, it will always be a continual journey for scientific study.

And when it comes to Global warming being attributed to human activity, the evidence is pretty outstanding. Thats why I believe it. Evidence to the contrary just doesn't hold as much weight. Thats it.

This will be my last post.

Bye.

I was joking with the sulphate, which I even wrote: "now iam being ridiculous". You think I dont know health risks asociated with sulphate polution? I understand your "pretty basic stuff". You dont understand my point so dont insult me. I doubt our ability to asses such a dificult system behaviour, yet you dont have a shadow of doubt, that is what I find fascinating. Your causal link can be other way around with temperature first.

The problem with Sulphate aerosol was the pollution it caused. Thats the reason why Clean Air Acts were introduced. Do you think we should go back to increased Asthma levels?

And we could lower the amount of water vapour; by lowering the amount of CO2 which increases atmospheric temperatures that leads to the large amount of water vapour in the atmosphere.

Are you sure you have a PHD in chemistry? Because you're having a hard time understanding pretty basic stuff.

[IstahilIB]

The years of statistics and studies have shown whats going on. Do you want to wait until all of the ice caps are gone before we do anything?

And what distribution of wealth are you referring to?

We in the developed world should take a leadership position in regards to climate change because those in the developing world are suffering most from the CO2 gases WE ARE producing. How is that hypocritically? Thats exactly what environmentalists are arguing!

[IstahilIB]

What "green" funding? There are billions of dollars in subsidies that go to Oil and Gas companies, which are also some of the most prosperous companies in the world. There are NO equivalents of that on the renewable energy side. If there were, the conversation would not be so dominated by such a minuscule group of contrarians.

[Ja0Ro]

Or we can produce the sulphate aerosol again, to cool the planet down.. We did it in 50ties, we know it works.. Or some different aerosol to generate clouds. Or we can dry the air to get rid of wter vapour, which is much more significant contributor.. now I am being ridiculous, but who knows. Take care

[Ja0Ro]

Only future will show what is really going on. I believe the earth climate is too complex for us to correctly asses the situation with certainty and whole this thing is yet another tool abused by politicians to redistribute wealth and it will backfire badly if we continue to feed it. And it is hypocratic, because those who push these policies live in comfort and people who are touched most are from third world. How about you stop showering if you are so convinced.

[Ja0Ro]

Yes I do think it is independent. I know how science funding work and all the green grants flooded world of science like plague. It si just fashionable topic that garant funding and it is self perpetrated and hyped up, because public can identify with it. What about the massive lobby from the other side. All the "green" energy, agriculture, solar power, wind power. we have more expensive gas and food because of that. Thera are massive subsidies in these fields that we all pay and few benefitfrom
