The United States backs the Saudi’s borderline genocidal war in Yemen. We also drop 12 bombs a minute, 90% of which kill civilians.

America was easily the number one source of income for the mujahideen, because the Russians were taking all their oil >:( how are they not terrorists, they also funded Israeli terrorists, and other groups just to have control in the Middle East

Climate change is affecting people right now. Increased surface temperature causes more water evaporation, meaning more fuel for storms and more frequent droughts. Higher air and water temperature increases wind speeds and melts ice, causing sea levels to rise and threatening coastal cities. Climate change is a serious problem and people will continue to die.

What is the exact death toll though? Since 1920 there has been a 98% decrease of climate-related deaths around the world

Where is the source for that number? The 98% decrease?

If we're still on the subject of deaths, this article might be relevant. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/16/health/climate-change-health-emergency-study/index.html

Both of those are libertarian think tanks.

I'd take the man who thinks Islam is a religion of peace rather than the one that says Islam hates America but that's just my opinion :/

Caprydania I'd like to see your input on this issue.

Where did you find these? They are more like a media outlet than an actual research, made by professionals. The first link doesn't even source their information. The second does, and brings up some good points. However; he (the man interviewed) says that there are fewer deaths because of our progress. Here's where he's wrong: Firstly, look at these photos:

Just before I make my other argument, what do you think will happen when the Ice Cap is gone, or even the Aral Sea? People life off of these lakes. The Ice Cap keeps the oceans' temperature in check. When these are gone, how will we live? For now, you are right. We are surviving because of our progress. But it's exactly that: we are surviving. We need to have an eye on the future, which is what you people don't understand.

too high Co2 emissions due to not being in the Paris climate treaty leads to a little something like this

Climate change deaths aren't just about "extreme weather", it's about food insecurity, water insecurity, and subsequent emigration and overcrowding due to these problems.

Climate change may be partially true, yes CO2 emissions have increased, but we've been in an Ice Age for last 3 million years, don't you think the world would heat up at some point? It shouldn't be us in the Accords, it should be China and India, who make the most CO2 emissions.

You realize that the increase in temperature caused by humans far outweighs the “cooling period” we’re going through. Also a natural global warming would take thousands of years. This one is only taking just 200 years. This rise in temperature is way too much too fast. It’s causing catastrophic events for the world

Also it’s the top corporations in the world who make the most emissions and pollution. Also India is still modernizing rapidly and is basically allowed to use fossil fuels and such. For China and especially any other modernized country it’s completely unacceptable to still be using fossil fuels. Nuclear, solar, and wind are the best solutions. But the corporate enterprises hold power against the government and they want the highest profit possible.

I would argue that, yes, factories make quite a bit of polution,

but farms are the ones that cause a LOT of polution. A lot of people eat cow products (dairies and meat) and that comes from an animal that farts methane every time they eat (and they eat a lot). Methane being a greenhouse gas worse than Carbon Dioxide.

Here is a source that explains why farms are a major source of pollution (does not list sources, BUT is in a .EDU domain... so yes.)

If I had the time I’d right a three page essay on how farms don’t create that much pollution and such, but it is 9:30 pm, and it would fall on deaf ears anyway. So I won’t bother

I 100% agree farming causes a lot of pollution. Which is why animal meat consumption and production needs to be cut back. And to take better care in the use of pesticides. But many top corporations in the world still produce a ton of pollution
