6 Things People Say about Climate Change and Why They are Invalid

I will break down six common things people say about climate change and why they are invalid.

Regardless of whether you think it’s man-made (and there is compelling evidence to support that), you can’t deny it exists.

Now, let’s dive in.

Our present climate change is occurring 20 to 50 times faster than the most rapid climate change events in Earth’s history.

According to the lead author of the most authoritative study on the subject, the scientific consensus that humans are causing global warming is likely to have passed 99%.

Weather and climate are two different things. Weather fluctuates from day to day, while long-term trends and weather averages define climate.

The last seven years have been the hottest seven years on record, and this one promises to be the same.

At this point, more than one million species are at risk of extinction. Estimates show that dozens of species go extinct every day.

Climate change is compounding the effects of other already-existing detrimental human activities like overfishing and deforestation.

Higher temperatures have increased heat-related deaths. Higher temperatures also worsen air quality, which scientists have connected to everything from more violent crime to more cancers.

Hurricanes are reaching new extremes — with the number of categories 4 and 5 increasing over the last 30 years.

Wildfires, too, are claiming larger burn areas and increasing in intensity.

Our great-grandchildren — who are currently on track to inherit a world four degrees warmer than ours and feel its effects at every stage of their lives — will have to clean up our generation’s mess in their fight for survival.

As I read through this essay, I’m sobered and saddened by our ongoing destruction of the planet.
