Am i wrong? You know how id know even if I didnt know? By what they say about Global Warming

Isnt that a bit like why 66% of blacks thought OJ was innocent but 66% of Whites thought he was guilty...it was ALMOST as easy as looking at the color of ones skin and knowing what they thought about it.

Shrugs...


FD,

Actually, climate change is uniting both parties, in essence, but not in it's urgency.

A majority of Republicans now DO believe climate change is a reality. It's just an overwhelming majority that, when polled, think it's not a big deal at this time..It's a much smaller percentage of Republicans that believe it to be a hoax or conspiracy.

Of course, I am sure "alternative facts" can be found to support anything at this point.

That's why everything boils down to a leap of faith. Doublespeak can find a way to make us believe the most obvious scientific facts are "fake facts."





Well, so far anybody here with identifiable political leanings have supported my theory. I dont think most people believe climate change is real, what I do believe is people believe or disbelieve based on what source tells them. If you only watch fox news, guess what your opinion will be, if you only watch cnn guess as well.

No matter what side you take, we dont realize that our "sides" are so biased. I know Dems who will vote Dem no matter what the situation is. I also know Repubs who do the same. Whether its good for the country or not, whether the candidate is a murderer, felon, predator, none of that matters, they vote their party no matter what.

Cant tell you how un American that actually is, and how stupid it actually is.

I also think we need more than two points of view, last election I thought both Trump and Hillary were jokes of candidates. I was saying in the entire country we cant find two better candidates than that?

How this applies to Global Warming..... As I wrote, I can tell what party the person belongs to just by how they feel about Global Warming

I say its a scientific question that educated scientists should be debating. Once they figure it out, then lets go for legislation, lets not let our politicians decide if its real or not.

We might as well let politicians write and record our music for us too.

I agree spin and doublespeak can change many opinions. That's why I say lets let the scientists figure it out. Lets make it a proven fact, and then try to find a solution.

As I wrote, we dont even have "proof" that a high fat diet is bad for you, many think it;s good for you, educated Harvard and Yale Scientists are still debating this

Here is what we already know. Obesity, way bigger problem RIGHT now than Global Warming. https://www.endocrineweb.com/conditions/obesity/obesity-america-growing-concern.

Health Care is going to bankrupt us before we could even figure out a way to change Climate.

Gun Violence is getting so bad, all of our children will be shot at school before they figure out if climate change is hurting us

If Im a presidential candidate, I dont even mention Global Warming, not till the more important stuff is brought up.
