Reply to comment by cowens89 in Mikaela Shiffrin leads push for winter sports sustainability amid climate crisis by Kasprosian
Halfway through February and barely any snow yet in New England. It was almost 60F last week here in Boston. We also had record lows that same week. It’s almost like the climate is changing or something.

No one’s denying climate change. I’m saying it’s extremely overblown and weird weather occurrences have happened somewhere in the world on a yearly basis since probably forever. My town flooded in 2008, worst rainfall ever recorded. Nothing close to that since.
If Boston goes a few years with no snowfall then we can talk about climate change

Random Redditor knows more about climate science than actual climate scientists. The vast major of the scientific community agrees man made climate change is the cause of the weird weather, but you probably saw some source claiming different and take that as gospel. Yes, weather has fluctuated for millennia, but the current trend is faster than any other climate cycles in the past. The world and its inhabitants aren’t adapting fast enough to this sudden change. But, from your history it seems pretty silly for me to try to change your mind.

No, random Redditor is aware of using selective data to get the outcome you want. Oil companies have studies dating back decades saying climate change is bullshit. I believe their data is just as manipulative as some of the pro green peoples data that we have today

So then you’re literally saying oil companies data is the exact same as people from NOAA, POW, the EPA, every single college in the entire US and the world, every single scientist in every single government, the USGS, and the IPCC? Holy fucking hell you are delusional

You’re so close to understanding. It’s right in front of you. Yet, you just can’t grasp it.

That is literally the definotion of climate change denial.
cowens89 t1_j92hs9e wrote
Whos denying that? I’ve said it’s real. I don’t believe the current situation is dire
PeterSagansLaundry t1_j932jvu wrote
You are denying that climate change is dire lmao.
cowens89 t1_j93gr5r wrote
Yes. Now, how is it being dire the definition of climate change as you previously claimed?
PeterSagansLaundry t1_j93qro7 wrote
I did not "define" climate change. I defined climate denial, as denial of the basic, objectively established facts. Such as the fact that we are in a climate emergency that can kill billions.
cowens89 t1_j94igu8 wrote
For our climate at the current rate to kill billions it would take thousands of years. Quit doomsaying

Billions dead in just a few millenia is a literal doomsday scenario.
