Topic	AOC claims she wakes up in a cold sweat at 3:30AM in fear of Climate Change.
UnfairRepresent 09/07/19 10:47:20 AM #31:	Caution998 posted... This woman has no concept of history and what humans have overcome in our entire history. Even if you believe climate change is gonna impact us in this generation or the next, you should have an idea of what humans have overcome in the past. We can survive in Antarctica and Russian cold. We will survive because were able to adapt. This is a really bad argument. Going "It doesn't matter how badly we fuck things up because hopefully in the future someone else will fix it." is a fallacy as an argument. It just gives up responsibility and downplays harm people are doing. You need something tangible in order to promote an argument like this, otherwise it's no different than saying "Smoking isn't harmful because someone will find a cure for the side effects" before dying of cancer. Now some of us believe climate change couldnt possibly be exacerbated by human actions. The earth is so old. We dont have an entire history of what this planet does. Look up the Hockey Stick Curve. While it's true that we don't have an entire history of the planet, we have more enough of a history than what we need for human purposes. We know how the climate changes naturally and we know the effect man made pollution is causing We know 1 in 6 deaths on Earth today are linked to pollution and we know that the damages we are doing will cause multipliers It's more complicated than I am making it sound but once we make the general temprature of Earth hotter, we will (among other things) release undersea gasses that heat the planet further. The attitude of "Not all of Earth's history is known" and I presume your implication of "The Earth heats and cools in phases naturally" (correct me if you didn't intended that) which are both true, being used as evidence that man made climate change doesn't exist or at least isn't harmful to humans is utterly ludicrious. And the past 4 years have continued the trend. We in less than a century have brought on what would take many thousands or millions of years to occur naturally. It's absurd and dangerous to ignore that or to go "Will someone else will fix it eventually right? Who cares?" --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgtc.com/i/bHqCLJF.png https://i.imgtc.com/YnvkpvU.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:927101662] in AOC claims...
