ORIGINAL: ClassIsInSession My arguments against climate change are not against climate change but against man-made global warming. There are natural solar events, one of which is beginning to gear up that cause climate change. It happened in the middle ages and perhaps we don't know enough about accurate and scientific weather data dating back that far to be certain this isn't the most direct and simple answer to the equation. That said, the climate has certainly changed, decade to decade and year to year for some time now and it seems actually that the seasons have shifted slightly. When alot of the "scientific" data is full or errors, or downright lies it discredits the scientists who do the research...and that is unfortunate. I am very pro being a good steward of the planet and I work constantly in my own life to find better, greener and more efficient ways to live, however, I don't think this needs to be legislated as an excuse to create widespread taxation. yeah, there's alot of natural causes for climate change(heck...we might have been artificially staving off an ice age for the last 100 or so years for all we know) but at the same time..pumping a shit load of chemicals into the air(to the extent to cause acid rain, smog related tree die off, ect.) probably has some effect too and most of the "game changing" regulations/taxations wouldn't really be directed towards individuals, since the most damage you or I can personally do is pretty minimal, but towards industry, especially in places like India and china where they don't give a F#CK
