huh?If we do not know for certain that human activities cause global warming, the most prudent action would be to assume they do.
We really need to stop sea fishing too.
Phil, it appears is one of those who think climate change is definitely man-made, while blithely ignoring the lack of temperature rise in the last decade or so.
huh?huh?
er, no... the most prudent action would be to determine the actual cause of the problem.
Everything is inter-related. Maybe algae can absorb CO2, but the eco-system is unbalanced due to over fishing. For example.Sea fishing is, if you'll pardon the pun, a red herring, and a completely seperate issue
I always thought Science was about absolute facts. Is there proof or just consensus that the worlds climate is changing because of man's influence?
No, science isn't about 'facts', it's about theories based on empirical evidence. Global warming is very hard to replicate in a lab.I always thought Science was about absolute facts. Is there proof or just consensus that the worlds climate is changing because of man's influence?
overfishing is a seperate issue to climate change. you can inter-relate everything if you try hard enough. Back to climate change - there are also negative consequences to rushing in to implementing a solution to a problem that may not exist - not least in hamstringing our economies. There's also benefits to a warmer wetter climate - better for growing... it's an exceedingly complex experiment foisted on us by the climate change brigadehuh?
No, the most prudent action would be to assume that climate change is due to our actions. We should continue to determine the cause of the problem, but it's an exceedingly complex experiment with multiple compounding factors. Time does seem to be an important factor.

So it's not a fact then is it? - It's still a scientific theory. This is my point.In addition a scientific 'theory' is about as close to a fact as you get without being a fact.
