    People always disagree with someone else, (Most of the time) due to people always usually having a different opinion than someone else, there's always going to be a Small / Big group of people who favor or dislike something else, there are plenty of people who Like and Dislike the idea of climate change, it simply depends on who's voicing the opinion and who's having the opinion.

    Why can't people understand Planet Earth is billions of years old and goes through changes daily - ALWAYS has and ALWAYS will.

    Words mean things. Affect doesn't tell you how much it affects it. If you strike a match, you increase the temperature. Humans don't control the climate or even drive the climate but we certainly affect it. It is just a matter of how much. I think it is minor and fortunately probably mostly beneficial.

    Because that would disturb their crooked agenda.

    Quote by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: "We redistribute de facto the world's wealth by climate policy...Basically it's a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization...One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore."

    They even admit that it is not about the environment but rather taking away your money and giving it to some undeserving soul. If they admitted that man cannot control the climate there would go their scam which they are bilking over $2 trillion out of the world's economy.

    See, this is what happens when you do a philosophy degree instead of a science degree.

    The fact that you can state something is not proof the statement is correct. The hypothesis you are asking us to accept is that humans do not affect climate. This is, unfortunately for your question, unlikely to be true since there is lots of evidence to the contrary.

    A good topic for your thesis might be whether evidence or proof gathered by the scientific method is in some way superior to that gathered by other means.

    The answer is yes, btw.

    Possibly because it isn't so. At least the second part is not, unless you listen to the disinformation put out by Big Energy.
