Why would anyone think that changes in climate (climate change) isn't happening or hasn't happened? It is all around us? The thing that is misleading is the way some people have made the term "climate change" to mean something that they expressly want us to believe, when there isn't any proof for it. Consider this. Scientists claim that evolution happened over millions of years, and that humans have been around for at least 100,000 years. Did climate change wipe out the human race over that time? No! Did each of those people die? Yes! Go look at the cemeteries and see if people die. Go find someone who is over 200 years old so that we can see that maybe people don't die after all. You're gonna die! With or without climate change, you're gonna die. Climate change is a bunch-of-lies program some elite have set in place to play on your fears in ways so that they can gain control over you and your money. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) There is some evidence that we were almost wiped out about 70,000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory#Genetic_bottleneck_theoryToday, the problem is several magnitudes larger but we have the technology to muddle through and continue to destroy our habitat. Ignorance is bliss. You can deny it, but it will not change the fact that each year young people get their driver's licenses and buy new homes, built on farmlands. As more people join the pollution train than leave it, you have a positive feedback loop that nobody is talking about. Anybody who has enough time on his hands to talk about climate change, is living in luxury. Many people are living hand-to-mouth, working 3 jobs to support a family, and their spouse is working, as well. Climate change doesn't matter to them as much as preparing for winter snows. Climate change doesn't mean anything at all except to those who have leisure time to sit around and ponder it... the elite, for making and advertising all kinds of fear-mongering ideas about it... and the beer-sucking, couch-potatoes who have time to sit around and listen to the elite. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

When we talk about some people, I think Donald Trump is one of them. He is very much skeptical about climate change.

Sure. It's hard to not be skeptical when you see politicians wanting to take your money to roll back the oceans.

I think that most people do not even think about such global problems. People are more interested in their personal minor problems than global and common ones. Collective responsibility is not peculiar to a person. It turns out everyone is guilty and no one personally. Therefore, people are not very worried about such problems.

How can people be skeptical of climate change we have summer winter climate change in action .. Something you all should know about climate change .. Climate change is fresh air tax you do all know this don't you ? I will explain my case.. We are getting told that bad gases are heating the earth up and we need to tax this bad gas because of climate change it's heating the earth up .. Ok if the bad gas is heating the earth up who pays for this tax the business owners ? OR will it get passed on to your average joe meaning cost will go up because of bad gas that heats the earth up and now poor mary will need more money to live?.. Now about this bad gas tax that heats the earth up say you clean the gas to good gas what will happen to the heat source REMEMBER you took the bad gas out what about the heat source ?.. If i light 1 fire in a 100 sq ft it will be warm if i light 30 fires in 100 sq ft you will boil NOW what about all the heat sources how do you know that's the cause of the earth warming up so no matter even if you clean the bad gases what about the heat source and don't forget heat travels up SO the more people want to live like the west the more heat sources from cars homes factories SO is it the bad gas OR the heat source all over the planet and heat rises .. Now we are getting TRICKED into paying for air pollution when is it the pollution or the heat source that heats the earth up?.. The more homes built and factories the more heat sources and heat rises up ..But we will be paying taxes for air pollution because that's the cause of climate change when it might not even be that it could be the heat source AND what i mean by this is after years and years of paying taxes for pollution will we end up finding out it's not the pollution it was the heat source remember heat rises .. And how many want to live the modern way? more heat sources rising heat all over the globe and we get told to pay for bad gases when it might not even be because of the gas And it might not be even for the heat source just good old earth moving around .. Now who benefits from carbon tax? Instead of making a doomsday thing up why not just say greedy businesses your getting taxed instead of blaming climate for collecting more taxes?.. Just say we are taxing you because we need this because you make enough greedy bunch of peoples.. I wonder who gets kickbacks for the climate taxes the POLITICIANS? more taxes for them to feed their families .. Remember Diesel more healthy than petrol so you would go out and buy a Diesel now Diesel is bad for you all so you would buy a Diesel so i wonder did VW give politicians kickbacks for this lie well how many did they sell ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ..Just like carbon tax .. Now how do we stop the heat source? well we can't so forget your tax just stop the bad gases without the tax thanks.. Because we might be paying for nothing when all along it's the heat source and not the carbon gases ..

Or maybe because people don`t know about it? For example, I haven’t heard for the last time that the media talk about it. Probably everyone has ever heard this word combination, but few people understand well what it is. I think the media should talk more about this, give concrete facts, studies, forecasts of scientists, etc. It is necessary for people to understand that this is a real problem and a threat to humanity. But unfortunately, the media almost don`t engage in such an important matter. Therefore, people don`t understand.

I think you mean those people who believe that HIV doesn't exist, you will have horns and tail from genetically modified products, and no need for vaccination. Most people aren't very smart. Without having an opinion and not understanding the essence of the issue, they're happy to relay other people's thoughts that aren't always adequate. When you start arguing with them suddenly it turns out that your a rapist from frozen wasteland.

It always amazes me how accurately the descriptions that leftists try to use to demonize people usually quite accurately describe their own behavior. Perhaps present some empirical data to support your argument. Character attacks aren't going to do anything but reassure existing true believers, and at most make less people have a debate openly while they question your conclusions privately. BTW... Obvious sock puppet is obvious.

am just trying to understand why some people in society are still skeptical about climate change even though there are scientific proof.
There's nothing wrong and everything right about being skeptical about things people try to scare you into doing, believing, and paying for based on their assertion that there's "scientific proof of climate change." That's a separate issue from how, why and what they are trying to extort from you.

This vid from the spring was kind of funny and relevant to this topic. Joe Rogan made Candace Owens look like an idiot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lD29jqH078I love how he keeps hammering away and won't let her whataboutism move the questions off track. I love how he keeps asking her why do you believe when you don't know, and she just answers with nonsensical bullshit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lD29jqH078

A certain party thrives off nonsensical bullshit if you haven't noticed. I'm pretty sure people who support her totally agree with her arguments even though they're absolutely nonsensical.

Some believe that the changes are cyclical and that one point nature will find a way to get itself back to normal. But most specialists say that the results will be catastrophic should the powers that be not intervene. I think so as well. But for them to intervene would mean to spend a lot of money and disrupt their current money making schemes.

It's a scientific fact that the overall temperature is rising. The problem most people have with this theory, is that the media is claiming it's due to human influences that the worlds temperature is rising. Which can be disproven very easily. Humans have a very, very minor effect on climate change. The worlds temperature has gone up and down over the last thousands and thousands of years. For example : 300 years ago it was almost 1 C° higher than it is now. So that's my problem with the theory. Although you simply can't deny that climate change isn't happening.

Here's a nice timeline. It's pretty smooth, even though there's changes greater than 1C. Notice the extreme curve in recent history? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimgs.xkcd.com%2Fcomics%2Fearth_temperature_timeline.png&t=665&c=iQcrLnAbLFyhWQ) Normally non-man made climate change takes place over tens of thousands of years, not hundreds.

Not in the case of many other natural phenomena. Guess you are just wrong on that.

Many people, specially big corporations, just because of business. If you're running a company that has a direct influence over climate change, its normal and logic that you will say that climate change is not something real.
As to the masses, well. It's been said above, some people still think that the world is flat. That is pretty much of a good background on what's the current state of society.
They discovered that the world is round hundreds of years ago, but stubborn minds are not something that scarce.
