"All the big petrochemical companies are being taken to court for compensation for big infrastructure projects that are going to be needed like sea walls to protect cities lke new York and San Francisco.The argument isn't if it's happening but did the oil industry know and continued regardless.The science has been around along time." Strange how all governments World wide accept and allow, are they going to be sued too what a load of nonsense, lets hope their lawyers are on top of their game to protect all my pensions  | |||

"its a phenomena which of yet cannot be proven that humans contribute to warming . some great corporations listed here though" Did you read the article? Chevron has accepted the science. You don't because you're worried about the value of pension? “Chevron accepts the consensus in the scientific communities on climate change,” said attorney Theodore Boutrous, of the firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. “There’s no debate about climate science.” | |||

"The debate on climate change makes me wonder how many brainwashed people were defending cigarettes long after the rest of us accepted the obvious truth. Wait, apparently there are still people denying it. No matter the decades of science, no matter the irrefutable proof and no matter that the makers of cigarettes finally admit that they knew cigarettes caused cancer and funded a huge disinformation campaign to cause doubt, some people still think cigarettes dont cause cancer. And today we can watch history repeat with easily manipulated people stubbornly clinging to the idea that they couldnt possibly be wrong." It's the same with people not wanting their children vaccinated. | |||

Anti vaxxers , climate change deniers ,911 truthers ,moon landings deniers.They usually believe every conspiracy going and that should set off alarm bells. Often these people are insecure and need to control. | |||

With climate change it's a simple intelligence test complete, once denial is exclaimed. | |||

"its a phenomena which of yet cannot be proven that humans contribute to warming . some great corporations listed here though Did you read the article? Chevron has accepted the science. You don't because you're worried about the value of pension? “Chevron accepts the consensus in the scientific communities on climate change,” said attorney Theodore Boutrous, of the firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. “There’s no debate about climate science.”" extremely likely Chevron supports a 2013 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which concluded it was “extremely likely” humans contribute to warming. However, Boutrous also said earlier IPCC reports were not as certain. extremely likely does not prove guilt. I am not worried about my present pension, its set hard & fast, but I do have other oil company pensions that I cannot draw until 55, may leave them where they are to mature | |||

"extremely likely does not prove guilt." You misunderstand scientists’ use of language. It’s rare to get them to say that anything is certain, because very little is. ‘Extremely likely’ is like saying we’ll need the invention of a previously unimagined branch of science to find a different result. | |||

That doesn't change the fact that it is now accepted. Have you ever met an engineer or a scientist? The thing about working with large complicated models is that there is uncertainty. You accept that you do not "know". The people who design the aeroplanes that you fly in, the skyscrapers that you work in and the drugs that you take are not "certain" of anything. They are Moore or less qualified to take the decisions and give the opinions that they do than climate scientists. You really do only care about hypertension in this? | |||

However, Boutrous also said earlier IPCC reports were not as certain. extremely likely does not prove guilt. " How would it "prove" it to your satisfaction? Maybe we could build a replica of the earth, where we can control all the variables? Not really feasible...I guess we'll just have to make do with overwhelming evidence that's agreed on by most peer-review science papers. Interesting though that on another thread you seem to be of the opinion that we can save the planet by recycling bottles. | |||
