Being unable to distinguish between climate and weather does not fill me with confidence that the speaker understands anything about climate change. David That's the knee jerk argument. I don 't understand that comment. What is knee-jerk about saying a person who doesn't understand the difference between weather and climate is ignorant? What is knee-jerk about wanting my representatives to be perceptive and informed? My skepticism comes in as to how much weather change is man made vs just what mother nature does. Weather does change all the time. We need to consider if the earth's climate is changing and if so why. These are two different issues. We hear other planets in our solar system are also warming and I don't think anybody there are driving SUV's. Where did you hear that? Assuming for moment that the climate was changing on other planets from natural causes why would that show that climate is not changing on earth from human causes? We know that the earth's climate has changed in the past naturally and it may well do so again. That by itself says nothing about whether it *is* doing so naturally this time. This question has been much studied and there is considerable evidence available that points to the cause this time being human activity. David |
