I don't think anyone denies that the cimate can change. It's whether or not humans are making it change by marginally increasing the ammount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

This is why I don't go down the climate change rabbit hole. Do I think climate change happens? Yes, we have Ice Ages to reference. Do I think it can be man made? Probably, but the data is too complicated for the average person and the average person is an absolute moron when it comes to science.

So, I say, forget climate change. We can point to more immediate concerns that the average moron can understand. Smog in the city? Even the most conservative moron will agree that's man made and will agree it's not a good thing. So, focus on that and we can probably address the issue of climate change without ever having to mention climate change at all, least of all argue about it with the mouth breathers.

It's like, "Dude, we aren't even talking about climate change. Who the fuck cares? We are talking about cleaning up the toxic air you are breathing right now."

The real issue is preserving the ecosystem in a stable form to ensure the future of our species. The cause of the change is only of concern for being able to control and prevent further change from occurring. It's not only important for our home-world, but for any potential extra solar colonization efforts in the future.
