Recently there has been much debate between skeptics and
believers of climate change about the science behind what is happening to our
climate. A fact I would like to point out to most skeptics is that the “not all
scientists agree on climate change” argument will not work anymore. Climate change
is happening and most if not ALL scientists agree that it is. If you would look
more into your argument before you speak you would realize that what they are disagreeing
about is the specifics of climate change. Just because you disagree on the
specifics of something though does not mean that you can discredit the overall
theme.
I recently came across this article on a favorite website of
mine called “I F***ing Love Science” that talked about the disagreement among
scientists over this issue. In the article it talked about many of specifics
that scientists are trying to come to a consensus on. A few of these issues
include cloud cover, ocean absorption, and even how much of climate change are
we responsible for! All of these uncertainties among scientists are about
specific things like how much of a feedback clouds actually play and how fast
sea level will rise. These quantities are over numbers and specifics, not over
the overall idea. Science agree that these things will happen if we continue on
our current path of carbon emission and the fact the even science is stumped as
the specifics of the effects should worry us.
Here is a link to this fantastic article so you can read up
for yourself!
