Its not just over 150 years, its over 800,000 years, they have been measuring the ice in the Antarctic dude.
They know carbon levels have significantly increased over the centuries. Whether that correlates with rising temperature is not obvious but given the Co2 levels and the state of the Earth there is cause for concern for the long term affects, but the thing is you people don't think the Earth's climate will change. It dosn't mean the Earth simply gets hotter everywhere, no it means that the traditional climate over regions shifts and gets more severe.
Anyway, at the end of the day you are right to criticize the science, because basically only a few people really actually understand it, professors who teach it admit their students have trouble understanding it. I only understand it because I read an article on it. What does that tell you?
But there is reasons why its being pushed obviously, you seem to think these all involve insidious motives, but rather there is other practical perspectives to looking at it as well. Most nations will react to it differently, then that brings to questions your views on government and what you think it should be. Or even how you think human-society should be or where to you think we should go.
Haha so there is a difference on making a direct assumption on what I supposedly believe, and 'putting words in my mouth'?C'mon man, you slipping into spin-doctor mode now. See, you posting that article is what I mean by 'stop getting all your information from the internet', because you obviously seem to have a preference for articles that skewer reality to meet your perspective: instead of showing me an article by an author who tells me what the Greenpeace founder supposedly said, show me what the Greenpeace leader said firsthand, show me a primary source. Thats basic Knowledge God shit.
Goddamnit man it isn't as simple as slowing economic growth. That itself is pointless, rather it is a change in the nature of the economy through laws and social values so as to gear the world towards sustainability, yes that means an initial decline in growth over some areas but that itself is not the purpose: the aim is for growth in different directions. Stop holding onto feelings , everybody is dirty in this game. And nations and people know that. Look at global governance: its every country. The majority of nations co-operating, it dosn't always work but it is based on national co-operation.Everybody is a son of a bitch with blood on their hands.
