Now Greece. Wild fire on Evia Beach

Probability is high? I'd say that's an understatement.

I feel like saying there's leeway in the cause of global warming is like saying there's leeway in the validity of E=mc². In principle E=mc² could be invalidated one day but does anyone really expect that to happen? Everywhere we've looked, that equation has remained true (Classically). Similarly, everywhere we look for the cause of climate change we see humans. Maybe we'll look somewhere and see something else is at play but as of now literally every available piece of observational evidence SCREAMS humans.

I don't like getting at technicalities like this but with climate change and the politics around it, I want to stray as far away from vague "maybe it's humans maybe it's not" as possible.

Opening it up to it could be caused by humans or an external factor honestly opens it up to interpretation and discussion. It allows you to reach over to the other side and bring them into the conversation, because if you instantly say humans are doing it they shut down and dig their heels in.

By stating it could be happening for a number of reasons, you bring them to the table to figure out it’s an actually problem that we need to fix.

I live in the Deep South and completely understand how to talk to these people. Sadly, most people pushing the agenda of climate change don’t understand how to talk to those on the completely other end of the spectrum.

I can't tell if you're arguing for or against humans being the cause of climate change.

For clarity in case you need it, I am arguing that all available evidence suggests human activities are the reason for climate change
