The Trump administration has stopped promoting government-funded research into how higher temperatures can damage crops and pose health risks. The Trump administration has refused to publicize dozens of government-funded studies that carry warnings about the effects of climate change, defying a longstanding practice of touting such findings by the Agriculture Department’s acclaimed in-house scientists. The studies range from a groundbreaking discovery that rice loses vitamins in a carbon-rich environment — a potentially serious health concern for the 600 million people world-wide whose diet consists mostly of rice — to a finding that climate change could exacerbate allergy seasons to a warning to farmers about the reduction in quality of grasses important for raising cattle. All of these studies were peer-reviewed by scientists and cleared through the non-partisan Agricultural Research Service, one of the world’s leading sources of scientific information for farmers and consumers. None of the studies were focused on the causes of global warming – an often politically charged issue. Rather, the research examined the wide-ranging effects of rising carbon dioxide, increasing temperatures and volatile weather.

When a lot of people realize this it will be too late. If it isn't already to reverse it.

When a lot of people realize this it will be too late. If it isn't already to reverse it. Ashie posted an article on FB recently that said at this rate it will be irreversible within 7 years. At that time the planet will start dying.

No, the planet will not start dying. As always the climate will continue, different than today. Within that reality humans will have to learn new ways of living.

It wouldn't dare since you said so. YOU knowing more than the scientists & all. Shall we now start disregarding the sources we all use. The climate has existed long, long, before humans and it will still exist after the last human has gone. You don't want to believe that climate existed before humans? Continue down that road and make up all sorts of scenarios. Not everything on Earth has centered around humans, as other forms of climate have existed. Or maybe you believe that today's climate has always existed just as it is

Of course CLIMATE has always existed. No one that I know says it hasn't. But NO, climate has NOT always existed just as it is today. You're older than I am & I've seen DRASTIC changes in my lifetime. I'm sure you have too.

Humans are the worse source to our bad environment. pollution is caused for what humans want.

I believe that it would help to define what is a good climate and what is a bad climate.

I believe that it would help to define what is a good climate and what is a bad climate. How will that help? My idea of a good climate is like we had when I was growing up. Weather here had 4 seasons. Spring,..(my favorite) NO tornados here in the hills. NO flooding. Then summer,..temps in the mid 80's to low 90's. VERY rarely hitting 100*. Autumn, temps dropping & continuing to drop into Winter with heavy snow & ice all winter..hard freezing temps that didn't allow the 'bugs' to overpopulate.

I think it helps because we would all know to what we are each referring. To say a ‘good climate’ or a ‘bad climate’ really has no definitive meaning.
What you describe as your idea of a ‘good climate’ is nice. It makes me think of Norman Rockwell paintings.

Humans are the worse source to our bad environment. pollution is caused for what humans want. So people are a sloppy lot and cause far too much pollution. That still does not mean that man is even close to being a significant factor in GW.

Man is the one who builds all the biggest pollution makers. Man himself probably doesn't make up 1 % of pollution except on bean day.

Global warming, or any changes in climate, result from cycles of the natural environment. Even a small change in the sun cycles can have major impact on Earth as do any variation in the Earth's orbit. A significant sized space object can cause changes in Earth's climate depending how close it comes. Changes in Earth's plates can have significant impact on climate. None of these natural functions can be altered in any significant way by humans. But it is true that human polluting (as stupid and as bad as it can be) cannot change the climate cycle,
