Agreed, no dispute there. My point is, it seems (to ME) counterintuitive to ignore and or refute that within the span of time that all of us currently alive have experienced — A significant and obvious / noticeable shift in weather patterns / climate has / is occurring.The length of time we've all been alive is less than a hundredth of a nanosecond in comparison to how long the earth has been around and its climate has been changing. We can't really say if what we are experiencing is extreme in comparison.

Does that mean "we" had any influence on it though? What's to say the slight changes noticed aren't just the natural ups and downs that would have happened regardless of our footprint. Maybe we as humans are just too young to realize it. Who's to say what's happening is even wrong for the world? Maybe we're heading in the right direction...the level of changes occurring are the most extreme / noticeably different than at any other time since any of us have been alive.

So what's to say this isn't just the earth reacting, trying to get back to homeostasis? Just because it's different than the past doesn't mean it's bad.Ogre,
Would we be healthier if the foods and drinks we consumed weren’t artificial / processed “food like” concoctions they are, rather than unadulterated / manipulated natural whole foods?
Consider the many complex systems that make up our bodies. In a state of perfect homeostasis, we function as most optimally possible.
We know that when we intervene and tweak / manipulate our bodies, there’s a reaction / response that impacts us as a whole. Taking an exogenous hormone for instance causes our bodies to stop producing it (significantly reduces or increases / manipulates natural production) — Natural homeostasis of our physiological functions are affected / altered.
The earth / planet as well is made up of a variety of systems that function in a state of natural homeostasis. It stands to reason, and in smaller models / experiments. can be observed, that altering one or more aspects of a system creates a notable reaction.
I find it pretty much impossible to imagine or demonstrate that all of the things we’ve done / do as industrial and unnatural / artificial society, has no (or only little) impact upon the planet’s natural homeostasis.
It (the natural order) is trying to regain homeostasis — it continually does, just like our bodies try. And just like we (modem public) tends to do things to alter and impede our best balance (health), overall, modern society / industry, etc also negatively impacts climate to some degree.So what's to say this isn't just the earth reacting, trying to get back to homeostasis? Just because it's different than the past doesn't mean it's bad.
“NASA scientists even say….”Nasa scientists even say that the human factor on climate change is only 4%.
Which means it's probably only 0.4%.

Humans knowledge of what we think is normal and what was recorded is too small to know if this is just natures natural cycle. A few hundred years is a blink of an eye in the timeline of our planet.So my question to everyone is, if for centuries Venice has really built its infrastructure for waterways, dealing with flooding, and these drought events are rare, but happening now more frequently. What does that say?
if people thought about it more often and more seriously and did not think that it was just news and fiction, then we would face it less, it's good that people are concerned about it and come up with solutions, but it takes yearsMy opinion. It's real. But it's gradual. It's not the immediate life or death scenario that some believe. However, it's not a non-issue like the Trumpies pretend it is.
Some of the changes are too far along to stop, too. Even with drastic action it may be too late. But we can take modest measures to reduce it's effect while safe guarding jobs and the economy while we transition to more efficient and cleaner power.
At the very least making gradual changes will result in less air and water pollution. That's a win. Another upside is that it will encourage new technological innovation and create the next generation of economic growth opportunities.
