John Oliver - Global Warming Video

[Heywood]

For a start, we need to accept what is happening as true

Hear, hear. The biggest beef I have with the deniers is that they're hung up on it being caused by humans. They need to get the fuck over it, admit it's happening and help figure out what can be done [i]regardless of who/what has caused it.

Any scientist will tell you there is climate change. The climate has been changing since the earth was 1 day old. Any scientist will tell you humans have an effect on the climate. A Yak farting has an effect on the climate....cyanobacteria have an effect on the climate....every living organism has an effect on the climate.

What is being denied or to use a more accurate term....disputed....is the claim that climate change will lead to a catastrophe and that a change in our behavior is needed to prevent or lessen that catastrophe.

I'm not convinced that a change in our behavior is needed. However I'm not opposed to changing our behavior either. This is one of those instances were I differ to crowd wisdom. Let the Climate Asserters and the Climate Disputers duke it out....some change in behavior will result and the amount will probably be more optimal then my own judgment would dictate.
