This is EXACTLY the pattern I have seen in the comments here. The second panel sometimes comes out as “it’s a good thing!” The third is a classic denialist tactic of “it’s not our fault!” The fourth is abandoning responsibility, sometimes stated more firmly (as one person did within the past couple of weeks) as “we can’t change the climate” which is hilarious since we made the problem in the first place! Finally, it’s the “cost too much” – as if wiping out our soi-disant civilization isn’t a MASSIVE cost. Just look at what the Superstorm did to New York, or what Hurricane Andrew did to New Orleans, and multiply that over and over again – not to mention climactic shifts altering fertile regions, which can have HUGE geopolitical effects. (Historical case in point to avoid current politics: the Medieval Warm Period led to overpopulation in Scandinavia, which led to the Viking age, which had any number of impacts on countries all over the world, from the Varangian Guard in Constantinople to the Norman Conquest [William the Conquerer was a “Frenchified Viking,” as one writer put it].)
It’s sad, really, how much work they put into not seeing what is right in front of them. Why not put just a little of that work into making it better?
Bring on the comments from all the people stuck in panel one, who are so certain they know more than the experts.
As I have said many times before, if you have the proof that man made climate change is not real, publish those findings. If, after peer review, your findings are indeed agreed upon by the scientific community to disprove man made climate change you will be guaranteed a Nobel. Posting comments here won’t get that Nobel, so get in the lab and then write that paper.
There are changes & we add a Tiny amount to it, but we breathe the same Air as they do in China & India. And lining Politician’s pockets with our tax dollars is No answer at All! And ruining our entire Economy in the process will Not help either! Climate change has been debated since the 1700’s & nothing has come of it yet. The simple truth is No One knows.
It’s geoengineering—since 1947. Do the research. Study the skies. If anyone remembers the old song (I was an older kid when it was recorded), “We’re on the Eve of Destruction.”

And yet another reason Trump should receive no consideration for being the next president. Especially from the youngsters.

The price of stupidity is natural selection, here’s hoping those that don’t buy into it end up on the menu.
