    Climate change is a real thing, And we could be in danger if we don't act fast.

    While it may seem that I am weakening my own position, I will concede that climate change IS a real thing. It undeniable that the climate changes however, The question is how much do we influence it and are we in as much danger as Greta Thunberg thinks we are? I would very much appreciate the studies from my competitor because the studies I've read all rely on predictive climate models and not on actual data of the climate as it is. I hope theirs doesn't. There is also the rather odd trend of every climate prediction being wrong, Consistently from famines to new Ice Ages. https://cei. Org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions I don't know about my competitor but I myself am not a climate scientist but as I understand it, The rising climate temperature from CO2 produced by humans is very insignificant and requires adjusting climate models in order to get the big numbers but again, I'm no expert. https://www. Thegwpf. Com/putting-climate-change-claims-to-the-test/ This is not an argument for allowing the US and China (the biggest contributors of CO2) to not reduce their footprint. While I'm very suspicious of bills the the Green New Deal, I think it's a good thing to try and be more efficient with how we consume energy. What I'm speaking to is simply about the assertion that humans have a significant influence in the global climate, Which to me seems to give ourselves far too much credit, And that our inaction could result in great dangers which again, Relies entirely on the belief that we have any sort of control over the climate. I know people in the UK, Especially people who lived in the 60s, Who point to the horrendous rain and flooding that is rather uncommon in that part of the world as proof of the urgency of global action but we still haven't even established yet whether this is because of us or not. It certainly isn't the UK's fault since they aren't the huge contributors like China and the US. The ball is in your court HockeyPunk to prove that we are enough of an influence in the climate to even do anything to prevent any future disaster.
