Do you believe in man-made global warming?

Believe? Are we asking about unicorns or a messiah?

Here's the thing. Most deniers I've met have kids/grandkids. I do not and my days are rather short now. If they want to leave a dump or the Hunger Games for their progeny, fine, to hell with 'em. Sooner or later the host will reject the infection and repair itself. Until some other absurd species decides it's going to evolve and be "intelligent", while over half of them operate on "belief" rather than evidence, to start the whole stupid process over again.

Good sense tells me that I don't need a phD in atmospheric science in order to figure why our planet climate's driven nuts lol

Left wingers think I'm a conservative, right wingers think I'm a hippie... it all depends on the topic   
Go on, ask me about my position on family values, religion, drugs and homosexuality...and you'll know how far from those on the right I am.
If I were a US citizen, I'd always vote libertarian.
I'm just telling you what I think about this particular topic, nothing more than that.

Plus the tinfoil hat actually functions as an antenna, this is why the mainstream media wants you to wear one.

So..is this all about politics? Really? This is science we are talking about. It seems like all democrats are in favor of believing man-made climate change is a thing, and all GOP voters are against that notion.
It doesn't work like that. Individuals don't work like that (or shouldn't work like that, unless they are braindead).
Hypothesis are the first step of the scientific method, and it's alright as long as we take them as they are. There are fads we take for granted which are dangerous and might hurt our lives, the industry and the progress of mankind. I remember the times when BS like homeopathy and acupunture were a big thing...
Analysing and asking for proof for and against a certain hypothesis is normal in science. Those who speak about "conspiracy theorists, aliens and tinfoil hats" when dealing with unproven hypothesis are well...not that clever in my book.

Yeah, I know: there is this system of Great Electors, and all that American constitutional stuff that I hardly understand, since we silly French people vote directly for our President without passing by an assembly of "representatives"...
Which may make us look even sillier when you realise that many French citizens effectively voted for Sarkozy...

But that's another story and we should stick to the thread.

Only because of #RIGGED voting by crooked Killary. Stop spreading cuck lies. :P j/k

Then, whom did the Americans vote for?

They changed to climate change from global warming, because there'd be a snowstorm and all the right wingers shake their fists and are like "See this! Global warming my ass!"
