Who thinks CLIMATE CHANGE is a hoax?

Hi, everyone!

I was reading about Climate Change, and I bumped into this 2012 article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/04/america-theologian..., in which they ask these sorts of questions: What does religion have to do with climate science? Why does this theology of science denial have such power?

I think we could have an entertaining debate about this issue. It would be very kind of you to give your opinions.

For a moment, let's take the question of wether being a man-made disaster or not, out of the picture and let's start by focussing on these simple questions:

Are you a CLIMATE CHANGE SKEPTICAL?

If your answer is

a) YES or MAYBE, but it is not a serious or urgent issue.

- Could you, please, explain your exact reasons to support this?

- Which kind of evidence do you need to question your reasons? Could you respond to statements like:

"a 2009 survey found that over 97% of actively publishing climate scientists are convinced humans are significantly changing global temperatures". (Source: skepticalscience.com/How-many-climate-scientists-are-climate-skeptics.html)

- In what way do you think that your religion and/or political bias could have (or have not) changed your opinion?

b) NO. I THINK IT'S REAL and/but no URGENT.

- Could you defend your arguement againsts skepticals. Why (why not) is a priority to address the problem?

- What could be doing to prevent it?

- In what way do you think that your religion and/or political bias could have (or have not) changed your opinion?

I hope you keep enjoying the weekend!
