RE: The climate changes. It’s what Earth does.
No sane person disbelieves in CLIMATE CHANGE. The issue is and has always been — does HUMAN ACTIVITY cause catastrophic Climate Change? Or will the Climate Change ( catastrophic or not ) occur REGARDLESS of what we puny humans do?
*THIS* has always been the issue. It gets obscured when people start using pejoratives like “Climate Change Denier”.
If they want to use a pejorative, they really should be more accurate and call it what it is: “Man-Made Climate Change Denier”.
But I don’t see that more accurate term being used anywhere.
Recently a fellow sat down next to me and asked, “You’re not one of those climate change deniers, are you?”
I gave him a baffled look, and told him, “No, I believe the climate changes.”
End of conversation (thankfully).
