You believe that questioning the mainstream narrative on climate change will lead to more accurate scientific understanding and better-informed policy decisions.
Climato-scepticism, also known as climate change scepticism or denial, is a political ideology that questions or rejects the scientific consensus on climate change. This ideology is characterized by the belief that global warming is either not occurring at all, or if it is, human activities are not a significant contributing factor.
The history of climato-scepticism can be traced back to the late 20th century, when the scientific community began to reach a consensus on the reality of human-induced global warming. As early as the 1970s, scientists were warning about the potential impa…

Should everyone blindly trust scientific consensus without personal research, and why or why not?
@9H5HQLD6mos6MO
Not necessarily. Individual research should be encouraged, but certified scientists always have more credibility.
@9H5JHSQ6mos6MO
Yes and no they know more then we ever will about earth considering they've been studying it their whole lifes almost and are fascinated by it while we barely put thought into it, but at the same time they still have'nt did it.
@9H5JL6D6mos6MO
Acceptance of anything without understanding the science behind it is dangerous, and can lead to false conclusions.
@9H5K5Y76mos6MO
no because you wont know if its true or not intell you do some kind of reaserch
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What personal experiences or observations have led you to your current perspective on climate change?
@9H8BJCG6mos6MO
Education mostly. Learning about climate change and also witnessing its effects first hand.
@9H8BG2PLibertarian6mos6MO
Growing up in a world where climate is already ruined from the people before.
@9H8BJ9K6mos6MO
Climate change is real but I care very little about it
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If an important aspect of your way of life was harming the environment, how would you feel and what would you do?
@9KYCY332mos2MO
I would immediately change my ways and find a new way to help the environment.
@9KY7DSG2mos2MO
I would feel targeted and I would try to stop it trying to find a less harmful replacement.
@9KY76PL2mos2MO
I would find ways to completely stop and replace it with something that doesn't harm the enviroment if i could not then i would find a less harmful replacement or try to mitigate it some how
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would the discovery of past climate change inaccuracies affect your trust in current climate science, and in what way?
@9KM82573mos3MO
@9KMMVC43mos3MO
yes because we can more about the climate change and how was in past before now.
@9KM7MSDIndependent3mos3MO
Probably not, but I have hope from the bottom of my heart that maybe we can stop it
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
If climate change were proven to be natural, would you feel less responsible for taking action?
@9H3V9HZ7mos7MO
I doubt that climate change is natural. However if it were to be hypothetically proven natural, I believe that humanity should still take responsibility in taking precautions to protect our species from the dangers of climate change, whatever they may be, and however we can do it.
@9H3V2ML7mos7MO
Slightly, however we are the only species on Earth that can promote positive change.
I would feel responsible unless proven that climate change is 100% natural.
@9H3Z22H7mos7MO
Hypothetically, if it were proven that climate change was a 100% natural occurrence I would feel less responsible but we as humans are the only current species on earth able to have control over what can be done about climate change as a whole. So I think the feeling of responsibility would remain but be less intense.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How might large-scale environmental changes influence your community or local economy?
@9HKH6T86mos6MO
a change in what we do can really help the environment in our community
@9HKH7JQ6mos6MO
Im not to knowledgeable about climate change but I do trust science, if there is an issue that has scientists pleading to be heard then I think we should listen.
@9HKH64M6mos6MO
The temperature would get hotter and pollution could cause more diseases.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Imagine a world where climate change solutions are universally agreed upon; what does it look like?
@9HKJ5LJ6mos6MO
It looks like a healthie place to live in which the earth is not dying as fast.
@9HKJ5D56mos6MO
Clean energy and actively working to close in on net zero carbon emissions.
@David-Alvarez 6mos6MO
Leaving more reliantly on ones self whilst taking care of nature and sometimes sacrificing a little when needed.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How could changes in environmental policies affect your job or industry in the future?
@9HKHTC96mos6MO
It can affect the way we were originally trained to do the job. We would have to change everything that we do.
@9HKHRVX6mos6MO
I work in the energy transmission industry, most green energy options are currently cheaper than fossil fuel generation due to the lack of maintenance work. The issue is a lack of domestic production methods means it’s difficult to acquire the precursors at scale to be able to make an economic difference in a short period of time. Discussing the ongoing benefit and stabilizing energy costs in a sustainable way will benefit all industries; largely this issue has nothing to do with carbon, yet carbon remains the focus because of the political benefits for taking stances for/against the idea of carbon mitigation.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What lessons can we learn from past societal responses to environmental crises?
@9HKHMDK6mos6MO
The lessons we can learn from past societal responses to environmental crises more collaboration and global cooperation. Being able to share knowledge, resources can help address environmental challenges more effectively.
@9HKHGM5Peace and Freedom6mos6MO
We can learn that there are ways to affect climate change and we also learn that people don't care.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If definitive proof of climate change's severity was found, how should the world's leaders respond?
@9CJ6CB65mos5MO
It already has been found, but the current goal should be to sever the ties of fossil fuel lobbyists from government, and work towards researching as many new technologies as possible to help fix it. We need to adopt an “all-green alternatives” approach to move away from fossil fuels, reduce fossil fuel use in the energy sector, work for alternatives in other industries, reduce emissions caused by deforestation, forest fires, or farmlands.
@9HTBXHJRepublican5mos5MO
Invest in researching technologies with which we can adapt instead of banning, restricting, and subsidizing already existing products.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you could ask a climate scientist any question, what would it be, and why?
@9CJ6CB65mos5MO
How would you recommend we fix climate change?
@9HKJSMT6mos6MO
I would ask how bad the climate issue is really, and not how certain medias portray it. I would ask this because it is a very real, and relevant issue today, but certain news sources share their OPINIONS on the matter rather than the FACTS.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What are your feelings towards the loss of natural habitats and the possible link to climate change?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How do you negotiate between your community's economic needs and the larger climate change concerns?
@9L58RGRRepublican 2mos2MO
I would push what affects us now and then fix the bigger picture because I feel like as long as we are surviving in the current situation then we can work on the future.
@9L57MPD2mos2MO
By actually communicating with your community to come to a resolution that benefits both sides
