-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.

First of all, it's just a poll on a hockey site. If you don't want to participate that's fine.
Secondly, I agree with what you're saying. But many people do not agree. I have family members who believe it's a hoax, science be damned.
Lastly, it's not a poll to ridicule anyone which is why the results are not public. It's just a simple poll to gauge how CP feels about it.
