As much as climate change is real and it is happening because of humans, is it not inevitable since according to geology, our planet has cycles of increasing and decreasing temperatures in it’s history.

I am curious-what took so long? Those of us of a scientific background could see the preponderance of evidence and multiple lines pointing in one direction over a decade ago.
How can a field so closely allied to climate science have taken such a long time?

We should start looking for a new planet to inhabit. Not enough will be done to save our planet and as a result some last-ditch efforts will be tried. We should just cut our losses and plan for the future.

Climate change is not as simple as cause and effect there are alot of factors at play, including natural ones which history has shown us to be slightly inconsistent and fluctuating.

I agree it has to start with the small things like educating people of the long term effects of such actions and how easy it can be to live and not negetively affect our planet and its natural climatic cycle

Addressing a problem after it has arrived. I think that we have become desensitised to the magnitude of the problem. The general public responds to the main-stream media and often do not understand the full consequences of the information provided to them. This is a huge problem in educating people and following up on it. The vast majority of people do not know what happens t waste, let alone to how to properly dispose of their trash. The common mindset is “someone will pick it up” or “that’s why the municipality has a department of sanitation” and it’s these small changes that need to be pushed.

There’s some old phrase about repeating the message over and over and over in all venues, and when you’re tired of it saying and hearing it yourself and figure everyone must have heard it by now, say it again anyway, because that may be the point at which people start actually hearing the message. Glad to hear most meteorologists have accepted the science now, but it did take them a while.

Two or three years ago at the AGU there was talk about how much warming was the result of human vs natural factors. The hallway talk was that humans were responsible for more than a 100% because all natural factors indicated the world should be cooling. If you have time or inclination, Greg, I wouldn’t mind seeing updates on that (if not, no worries, as I’ll eventually have time to check myself, or maybe I’ll get to the AGU this year to lurk and listen).
