Just for this question, let's assume that we are not experiencing climate change.

Who would propose and spread such a theory if it's false? What would they hope to gain?

    If  the ocean waters are warming up on average as they say. even by a couple of degrees.. that would have an impact on the weather.. some years might be hotter/drier/warmer, snowier, wetter, stormier, stronger hurricanes/typhoons etc.. i wouldn't says its false. (after all, the ocean and its temperature does play a big role with our climate's weather and conditions etc.) these are things  that anti-climate changers don't "seem" to think about, understand, or to take into consideration... Warmer ocean temps means bigger highs/lows/extremes for our future weather and climate. This post was edited by Skunky Stinkerson at January 30, 2017 6:24 AM MST

  • Thanks, Skunky. I asked two questions -- one Yea and one Nay -- so that both sides could express their ideas.

    you're welcome, i don't know much about this but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put some of the puzzle pieces together.

    Climate change, it is a phrase known around the world in various languages. But it was about 15 - 18 years ago when I had a conversation with a woman who, at the time was 20 years my senior. We would sit and talk on her front porch. The topics of conversation ranged from the mundane to the most fantastic. But on that day she asked me if I felt the chill in the air. I said I didn't. It was July. For me it was a humid hot day. She told me, in a very serious manner,  she had seen and felt the "weather changing" over the past years. "It was warmer when it should have been colder and it was colder when it should have been warmer", she said. "It always snowed in November and December. Now it hardly snows till January", she said. Well her conversation back then seemed to be a foretelling of the future. She was a living recorder of history. She would sometimes explain in very minute details something historical that happened many years previously.  I am one who will tell younger prople, the history they study in school was current events for me. To the point, I do believe most people, especially those who work the land knew, well before it became a noteworthy debate, that something was and is happening with our planet. Can we stop it? Can we reverse it? I don't know.

    Money. That's usually the culprit. I'm not saying climate change isn't real, I'm just saying people would come up with that kind of stuff for money.
