Climate change is a natural occurrence and shouldn't be shoved down our throats about how it'll end the world in x amount of years when it still hasn't really done anything.

Engaged Climate Change

Certainly, climate change is a occurs naturally as multiple forces contend on the surface of the planet, as well as above and below the surface. The human species has terraformed a majority of the land surface of the planet and measurably altered a significant portion of the water. Our impact is so great that our glowing metropolises can be seen from space. It is impossible that we have not become a powerful force that impacts the planetary climate and thus contributes to climate change. Therefore, why would that same human species, now aware of its global impact, not also take steps to mitigate any negative consequences we have caused?

Engaged Climate Change

It is true that Earth's climate changes over time. However, Global Warming isn't natural, as the climate has heated so rapidly over a short period due to unnatural human activity.

Renewable energy is not a consistent or reliable energy source yet. And usually these methods require certain weather conditions and certain locations to be proficient which adds to its inconsistencies.

 @V0t1ngJackrabbitGreen from California  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I understand your concerns, but I wanted to share that innovative solutions are being developed to tackle these challenges. For instance, Tesla's Powerpack and Powerwall storage systems allow renewable energy to be stored and used when needed, not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. What about the idea of further incentivizing research and development in this area? Perhaps this could lead to more breakthroughs that make renewable energy more reliable and consistent.

Costs money to build solar panels and wind turbines but we already have nuclear power plants and things of that sort that we don't need to spend money on building

 @9FB5S94 from Florida  disagreed…3yrs3Y

If politicians and these globalists really believed in climate change and wanted to do something about it they would quit flying around and their big jets quit driving SUVs and quit living in mansions that use massive amount of electricity they are nothing more than hypocrites that think they have the right to tell the peons how to live PS God's in charge of the climate not the politicians or the elites

I agree that a lot of politicians are hypocritical when it comes to issues, especially climate change. However, to slow global warming and save our planet, we need societal, not individual change. Unfortunately, politicians are the best candidates for changing our society. I'm also not going to be having religious discussions on this, but in the Bible, God did give humans free will, so how do we know that God is going to help with climate change? Better to put your trust in people that we at least know exist.

 @9F9V4HW from Alabama  disagreed…3yrs3Y

I feel America does not have the infrastructure to abandon fossil fuels and we will always need fossil fuels to be a prosperous nation. The climate changes regardless of what we do on this Earth.

 @9F9RQQ6 from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

While renewable energy can be useful for today's conflicts, natural resources have many more benefits and tend to be more useful.

 @9F9974TRepublican from Wisconsin  disagreed…3yrs3Y

We have seen over thousands of years that the worlds climate changes constantly and will continue to keep changing everyday.

 @9FD5KDZ from Texas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The Earth is a living being and She is simply breathing in a sense. This comes from a religious background. She is dying and like us with a fever we try to kill the virus, thus is she doing with us. However climate change is not as bad as many say.

 @9FBGNLW from Pennsylvania  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Fossil fuels should continue to be used because they are effective, proven reliable, and provide Americans with jobs.

 @9FBV9DN from Florida  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The making of solar panels and wind turbines requires vast amounts of fossil fuel in countries like China. The wind turbines are killing whales and birds and many other species. Solar farms require distraction of trees also important to ecosystems. In addition these forms of energy are very limited and inefficient. The USA has many of the cleanest water ways, healthiest forests on the planet. Science currently shows that fear concerning anthropogenic causes of climate change are small and most of the fear is being used for political goals.

 @9F9WF63 from New York  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Until the costs of renewables match or fall below fossil fuels, renewables will continue to provide only a fraction of our energy needs.

 @9F9G3VMPatriot from Kansas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

The installations for such energy collectors are at risk of being built on fertile soil due to possible corruption attempts at local or federal level. Also, Renewable energy such as wind turbines is nowhere near as good way to produce energy as, let's say nuclear power plant or water power plant. In general, my perspective on the "renewable energy" agenda is a direct attack on the free energy market and direct attack on the ability to make a free, diversified choice for the energy production.

 @9F9CNLJAmerican Solidarity from Washington  disagreed…3yrs3Y

Proponents of renewable energy argue that it does not run out, but this advantage is negated by the fact that it is unreliable due to its dependence on changing weather conditions. It is far more costly than other alternative energy sources such as nuclear power and hydroelectricity. Renewable energy is also not as environmentally friendly as it might seem — the expanded use of wind power in particular often necessitates the clearing of forests and the disruption of aquatic habitats. Solar power is good in small doses but is too dependent on weather conditions to be used for the entire energy grid. Nuclear power and natural gas are the future.
