Interesting! I thought that climate change was a science, not a topic for philosophers.

Our climate has been changing since the dawn of time. There was been ice age, and a tropical age there is nothing we can do to stop the next

Perhaps the talk could be titled "Why NOT climate change"?

Yes, but we haven’t been burning fossil fuels since the dawn of time.

A big nothing burger when you look at evaluating the Glacial - Interglacial cycles of the last 450,000 years. The Earth has been much warmer during periods of time when humans were not even present.

Our air is cleaner now than it was in the 60s. To clean the air up you will need to get China,Russia,India and some of South America to do something about their air quality. When you get that to happen then we can talk.

It is all about the money. If they were so worried they wouldn't be flying their huge jets. They wouldn't allow huge controlled burns.

Don’t forget Mexico where all polluting companies escape and wind just blows across southwest.

Maybe why sun comes up and goes down would be better topic? At least that can be explained over time with no theories of opinions…..

The one thing constant about climate is change.

That’s nice. What does it have to do with climate change?
