What does it mean to "believe in climate change"?

[unbeliever]

Science is just a description of a way of investigating the world. A methodology.

It doesn't require belief.

 

Well put. To ask if we "believe" in it is to relegate it to the level of religions and fairies.

Believe it exists?

Believe it should not be questioned?

Do you even know what the IPCC predictions are?

 

Have we got to a level of discussion above "its the way of things."?

UK Government has breached air pollution laws and failed to take enough action on emissions, High Court rules.

 

Whether you live in Sheffield, Leeds or Manchester; the air that we breathe should be cleaner.

I understand the air in Sheffield is particularly polluted.

What has this do do with climate change?

I just wish there had been "Climate change - a load of bunkum" in the list of choices. I would have voted for that one.

I think this one's for you "I'm a sceptic and I expect <1ºC per CO2 doubling."

You would think all that would stop, not that we are leaving the EU

There is no way to stop some other country polluting the air you breathe, or a changing climate.
