It's 2024...if you're denying climate change...you have zero credibility, because climate change denial is reality denial. You might as well be a flat earther.
This is one of the nicest things about living in Europe...there is no serious climate change here (at least western Europe).
Scientists are saying that global warming will collapse of the AMOC in the near future, which will cause Europe to become colder. Europe is much warmer than the same latitudes in North America because of the AMOC.
Yes, sorry, I rewrote my comment a few times because...frankly...I try hard to be at least somewhat polite and civil, but climate change denial is absolutely insane.
I didn't mean to say there was no serious "climate change" here there absolutely is. More so even than Canada...people here routinely tell me how they used to go skating in the winter. I have pictures of people skating in the canal in front of my house--which is only 18 years old--and nobody expects to ever do that again....except if, or when, the AMOC does collapse.
And I live in a country where the mean height above sea level is only a couple meters. The Netherlands is especially vulnerable to climate change.
What I meant to say (and did in previous revisions of the comment) was that there is no serious climate change denial here. Even the most ardent opposition to climate change mitigation are merely discussing the degree. Not a company, not person, has seriously parroted any of the climate change DENIAL talking points that the oil and gas industry have spent so many billions promoting in North America here.
The very same talking points that were parroted so passionately by the previous commentor here.
