    The main actors that need to implement change are politicians, CEOs and other company leaders. And I don’t see that happening in a million years, let alone 4.

    Also, who’s the dipshit below claiming global warming is a conspiracy? I mean, seriously, a conspiracy? It’s objectively getting hotter. It was never this hot when I was a kid. Where’s this makebelieve mentality coming from?

      You’re conflating anecdotal evidence about local weather with the global phenomenon of rising temperatures. In my opinion, “global warming” is a misnomer and we should use climate change instead, because many weather phenomena like blizzards, rainstorms, and floods are hardly warm.

      Banned for being an alt-right memelord.

        Yeah, I was being a bit incoherent and I could’ve worded the above a bit better. Being upset will do that to me. What I was getting at is that at this point in time we have several independent studies that have come to the conclusion that yes, climate change is a thing and it is only going to get worse.

        What makes me so upset is that rising global temperatures is not some abstract, nebulous term. Hell, the whole world can feel it. If one were to look at your country’s weather data over the past few years, I’d say it would be a safe bet to assume that you would be presented with a graph that has a squiggly line going sharply upward. But no, we made this shit up for lolz, obviously.
