> We are right about climate change. Full stop. People who consider that not to be the case are lacking in information, because there are literally dozens of independent lines of evidence that back the conclusion and that have been used to model the current state of the climate.

I think the largest divide is man-made climate change vs not. I agree the climate is changing. I'm not yet convinced we're causing it or we can do anything about it.

Which of these two items are you not convinced of?

1) It's getting warmer because of higher concentrations of greenhouse gasses (primarily CO2) in the atmosphere.

2) Humans are releasing large amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels and other industrial processes.

It's a pretty straightforward line of reasoning.

Again, the risk is so great and asymmetric that what reason do you have to resist addressing it. Your delay could lead to a literal mass extinction, why are you willing to risk that because your not convinced. I carry health insurance for unlikely risks for exactly the same reason.

Turned it off after the first 15 seconds. Why does a video about climate start with a man putting peanut butter on a statue of a dog? How am I meant to take that seriously

[happytoexplain]

How is it that such a stupid non-political visual gag elicited such a strong emotional reaction that you couldn't even watch the video? Were you actually intending to watch it to begin with?

[mfatica]

If it's meant to be a serious discussion of a topic, why does the video need to start with a visual gag? Moreso why such an asinine gag? I cannot take seriously someone who does not take themselves seriously, it tells me maybe they are not thinking through things as critically as they should.
