By that I mean there will be people that believe what they want no matter what the evidence. To be clear I mean there's zero solid evidence of Bigfoot yet some will always believe in it.
I think you got your analogies screwed up. Or do you compare AGW to Bigfoot?
I find it bizarre that people refuse to accept we are having an impact on the environment. The evidence is everywhere. I'm not talking global warming both sides of that argument are bordering on religion I'm talking how much the world has changed. Look at common resources. Ever watch any of the logging shows? What they are cutting now are so small no one would have bothered with them 20 or 30 years ago but in many areas it's all that's left and it's so bad that when they do find old growth trees the lumber mills aren't even set up for them. They are simply too rare to bother with.
Deforestation and overlogging are problems that do not depend on the AGW hypothesis. You're making the green fallacy of equating any and all negative changes in the environment to CO2.
Look at swordfish. They said 200 years ago you could all but walk across the Grand Banks because of all the fish. Now the swordfish they take are virtually all immature fish that have yet to reproduce. Most fisheries have collapsed, a fact. When was the last time you saw a butterfly? How many and how often? When I was growing up you'd see them by the hundreds virtually any summer day. Now I see a few a year. Same with frogs.
Speak for yourself. There might be variations in local spiecies populations due to human actions. That has nothing to do with whether CO2 is causing global changes.
Most great apes are down to a few percent of their original populations. It'd take a good sneeze to wipe them out and they are our closest relatives.
Again, caused by deforestation and expanding human land use, not CO2.
People say the snow storms proved global warming was a hoax. Well guess what I live in central Maine and we have already lost most of our snow and it's getting up into the 50s. This is supposed to be the worst time of year for snow and cold. Don't believe anyone or any study if you want.
Individual weather phenomena are never evidence for, or against, AGW.
Trust your eyes. I see radical change everywhere I look.
It's surprising how much "evidence" you can see proving something you've already made your mind up about being real. The same way only deeply religious people ever seem to find evidence by God.
What people still can't get through their heads is the warming is overall and we are experiencing both extreme hot and cold days. It's the average that is towards warming.
No one is really disputing the warming. What is being disputed is how much of it is due to CO2 and what will be the effect in the future.
The real point is we are headed for more extreme weather and that is very bad.
The claim that AGW causes extreme weather is highly disputed even among genuine climatologists.
With species extinction people need to understand it took hundreds of millions of years to create this much diversity and it will take that long to restore it. Even if it came back in a few million years look at it this way we've been around for 200,000. That means no human will ever see it this diverse again.
Statements without evidence based on hubris.
We are in the middle of one of the worst extinction events in Earth's history and we are the cause and there's no debate about that one.
Blatant lie wrapped up in an assertion of absolute truth.
Most species are dying from habitat loss, we call them cities.
Do you even know how many species there exist in the entire world?
