Global warming is controversial, of course, but the controversy is mainly over whether human activity is driving it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Climate change is a controversial subject, right? People will debate whether there is climate change... that's a whole political debate that I don't want to get into. I want to talk about the frequency of extreme weather situations, which is not political.
Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It's as big a political issue as health care is.
My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming.
I've always been concerned about global warming. It seemed to me like working in nuclear power was a logical way to do something to help the environment.
The idea that global warming is the most important problem facing the world is total nonsense and is doing a lot of harm.
There isn't a more important issue in the world than global warming. Even the Cold War and the Bay of Pigs crisis were a notional threat.
I have been one of the guys who have been skeptical of global warming from the beginning. The jury is obviously still out on it. We see nothing but conflicting reports from across the globe. I'm not sure; I'm not a scientist.
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.
I would say that, basically, global warming is a non-problem.
The question of whether or to what extent human activities are causing global warming is not a matter of ideology, let alone of belief. The issue is simply one of risk management.
