Whenever anything related to the weather happens now it’s climate change.

Dry winter? Climate change. Wet winter? Climate change. Cold summer? Climate change. Heat wave? Climate change. Hurricane? Climate change. Doldrums? Climate change.

Every religion has a global flood myth, climate change is just the one of the scientifically religious and its zealots get just as upset if you don’t believe it as if you think Noah’s ark didn’t happen. Similarly there is no way to disprove it.

You can see the ridiculousness of the situation when it comes to how they prove it, consensus.

Science has never involved consensus, it works on hypothesis and evidence. Similarly no one can agree on which model predicts the future so they run 80,000 models with different parameters and then 20 years later pick whichever one happened to randomly generate the outcome and ignore the 79,999 models which were wrong.

I’m not a denier, I’m open to a single hypothesis, and a length of time in which we can analyze the results.

In summary climate change is a global flood myth and the solution is Pascal’s wager.

And predictably no one points to any evidence they just downvote because they have nothing to say.
