Climate change is obviously happening and there is obviously a man-made contribution.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not as convinced as a lot of people are that man-made climate change is the threat they think it is.
Climate change - for so long an abstract concern for an academic few - is no longer so abstract. Even the Bush administration's Climate Change Science Programme reports 'clear evidence of human influences on the climate system.'
I think the climate is changing, but I don't believe humans are causing that change to the extent that's been in the news.
Climate change is real.
Politicians or pundits can distort or cherry-pick climate science any way they want to try and gain temporary influence with the public. But any serious industrialist who's facing 'climate exposure' - as it's now called by money managers - cannot afford to engage in that sort of self-delusion.
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.
There is a majority of scientists that say that global carbon emissions by humans causes some changes in the climate.
It should simply be an empirical matter whether the climate is changing or not and whether we're responsible. But the various sides of the debate have now become so tribal that it's no longer a matter of changing our views as more information comes in.
Climate change is very real.
I absolutely do not believe in the science of man-caused climate change.
