Excellent answer. But I am betting that you do not know why.

Are we in agreement then that we should listen to those who know the most about this subject?

As long she knows more about the subject in the discussion than I , it does no matter if a person is younger then me. And since I already have spoken with her face to face I know her skill level on topics around pollution is a lot higher than mine. so I have a lot to learn from her.

Yep, she knows what she is talking about. That some of the adults here won't let themselves learn is rather amazing.
A quick related question: Do you know what left wing politician first raised the alarm about global warming?

It's pretty much in the category of flat-earthism and young-earth creationism.
About 15 years ago I was the climate change coordinator for our office, which meant I attended a fair number of workshops with climatologists. Just about everything they told us would happen, is happening right now, right in front of us. It's both impressive and concerning.
Just remember, climatologists are all dishonest, greedy, power-hungry activists, but pundits, talking heads, and spokespeople funded by fossil fuel companies are entirely trustworthy!
I'm right there with ya.We are dealing with a basic destruction of the eco-systems throughout much of the world as we are seeing! No one in their right mind should be playing politics on something as serious as this. Some need to grow up and do the damn homework!

A cynical and futile attempt to turn my own post against me. Nice try though.
I find it very sad that children know more and care more about the future of humanity than some "supposed" adults, including at least one who claims religious superiority.

Sounds a bit like religion - but these kids are worried, and rightly so, today's indecision affects them; it's too late for me.
More power to them.

I used to debate against this about ten years ago. But I was an exceptionally rare bird. I was a true skeptic. I read the posts from the other side and dang it, they had the better arguments. It was finally Lord Monckton that convinced me that I was wrong. Yes, Lord Monckton that argues against climate change convinced me of it. I noticed that his debating tactics were almost identical to that of creationists. I reasoned if climate change is fake why the need for such dishonest tactics?It's pretty much in the category of flat-earthism and young-earth creationism.

I had no intention of turning your post against you... You did that yourself and are unable to understand how and why.

Yep, I could buy a for Excursion and get 5 mpg and not give a fig myself. In the time that I have left the climate, especially the local climate here, will not change all that much. If it was all about me I would be lobbying for a buck a gallon gas.

Fortunately, President Bush had more sense than the world’s leading climate experts put together!
The Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us – 2004

And bush is seen to be senile, well done, another failed argument

That's a neat story. I'm guessing it also helped that you have critical thinking skills and can evaluate positions and arguments on their own merits, rather than from some sense of tribalism.

It's been both fascinating and infuriating to watch evangelical Christians go from "it's a hoax", to "it's happening, but it's all part of the end times".

So you admit it's like a religion.

Not quite 100% correct since it was largely tribalism that led to my original opposition to the concept. I am not perfect, fighting one's flaws is an endless battle.

No, opposition to the concept is like religion since it is based upon faith. Accepting global warming should be done on the basis of evidence and there is more than enough to convince those without prejudice, and even some that are prejudiced.
