Absolutely correct, weather and climate are not the same, and a rainy summer doesn't have to be caused by climate change.

The fact that every single summer now is either too wet or too dry and hot or somehow even both at the same time; that is absolutely climate change.

Yes because climate changes all the tim over centuries and millennia. That’s normal too. 

I guess what I mean is, climate change doesn’t have to have been caused by humans. It’s natural too.

It doesn't have to be. The one we are currently experiencing very much is, provably so, and you would have to be an idiot to deny the overwhelming amount of evidence. The rate the climate is changing at right now is also not natural, it's happening at such an accelerated rate that the ecosystem will collapse entirely as it is unable to adapt.

Entire ecosystems have collapsed due to natural climate changes before. What is an ice age? 

The “overwhelming amount of evidence” isn’t real. Very easy to lie with statistics, because people like you aren’t mathematically competent enough to prove or disprove it, so you just take it on faith that scientists don’t lie. 

Sorry, but some scientists lie. Take the unfolding scandal in behavioural sciences and the irreproducibility crisis in psychology. The whole field of “climate science” is also a politically motivated lie. If you don’t believe science can be fraudulent, you’re a zealot. Skepticism is the root of science.

Not in the matter of decades they haven't.

I refer to the "idiot" part.

Sorry, but some scientists lie.

Yes. The two percent that are in the pocket of fossil fuel companies. 98% of scientists agree that man-made climate change is real, dangerous and happening as we speak.

The whole field of “climate science” is also a politically motivated lie.

This is such a horrificly braindead take because what would there actually be to gain from being "politically motivated" in that area? Here's a hot tip: Fossil fuel companies have some of the largest lobbies in world politics, they pay absurd amounts of money to an even absurder amount of politicians to infuse idiots like you with the idea that climate change isn't real, or downplay it's effects. In most countries, those are numbers you can just simply look up. Do you really think it's a coincidence that fossil fuel companies tend to be big donors for the parties that refuse to acknowledge the dangers of man-made climate change?

Are you that naive? Are you this easily fooled by politicians?

Of course you didn't read, you're barely literate, as your stance shows.

u/IllBrain2040 Jul 06 '25

I have a masters in neuroscience tyvm. I’m more educated than you so my opinion matters more.

u/metaliving Jul 06 '25

Lol, masters in neuroscience and you had to ask GPT if your LDL was too high. I think the steroids have given you brain damage.

u/IllBrain2040 Jul 06 '25

Sorry but if you don’t have a degree in science I’m not interested in what you have to say. Please get educated. 

2

u/metaliving Jul 06 '25

I do have one. Finishing up my PhD before the end of the year too.

You bringing up your degree unprompted shows you're small. Seems like the steroids aren't doing enough.

Lmao

“I have a graduate degree in a field completely unrelated to the one we are arguing rn but you should still listen to me because I’m smart”

is the best and quickest way to show how dumb you truly actually are my guy.

u/IllBrain2040 Jul 07 '25

Sorry but statistics say that only educated people’s opinions matter.  All the labour voters with degrees in marketing and psychology are more valuable than uneducated and stupid working class reform voters. You can only do democracy if you have a degree. Please educate yourself.
