I choose not to vote, because this question should not be dignified with a response.
-it is not a matter of opinion,
-the science is in,
-the climate changes naturally at a relatively slow pace.
-it is changing at an astronomically fast pace due to direct human involvement.
-this is not the first time or the last time humans (or other animals) have had an influence on the climate,
-current mass extinctions due to climate change are happening
-if we want our existing rigid infrastructure to survive climate change, we need to move rapidly towards a low carbon economy, and then continue monitoring ways we can maintain a climate status quo.
To argue against any of these points is akin to conspiracy theory, and they should be the starting premises with any conversation about climate. You are either ignoring the facts as they are presented to you, assuming your instincts somehow hold more weight than expert opinion, or you are arguing in bad faith.
