I`d like to ask my European colleges specificaly.
Do you engage in debates concerning the subject with US climate change deniers?
We all know that on our lovely continent there is a general consensus on the matter.
Accross party lines everyone agrees to not ignore the scientific facts, and the only ones who argue against the science are to be found on the fringe or people who only have an audience in the US.
It is wonderfull that in our country scientific institutions still have their independence.
I chose not to engage with any US climate change deniers in debate since it would be a pointless exercise. To me it would be like talking to some loath who insists that the earth is flat.
How about you Danes, Romanians, Turks and Brits?
Thanks bro.
I did it one time, like I would debate evolution with some. Scientific denial arguments generally mutate faster than bacteria and I'm not particularly interested in the arms race. Remember when it was climate change is not happening at all, then it became it is happening but humans aren't responsible? It's simply too boring to keep up with whatever hole in the theory they think they've found that no scientist in the field had never thought of ever I tells ya!
yeah that evolution thing....... I would be embaressed to have evolution a "controversial subject" in my country.
In which other countries is it controversial??? Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and such.

Other than a few fringe people, I don't think many here actually deny anthropological climate change.I`d like to ask my European colleges specificaly.

That was a good one. Of course, I don't know, where you are, but here there are only very few independent scientific institutes. Most are owned by the state and the researchers are government employees. That is quite the opposite to undepentent.
1. Why are you comparing a country to a continent?Do you engage in debates concerning the subject with US climate change deniers?

2. Americans' views on climate change are similar to most European countries. Indeed, more Americans take affirmative positions on the impact of climate change than several of those countries. Even further, there doesn't appear to be evidence of a 'clear consensus' on your 'lovely continent'.
Just wanted to shut down another "Europe is so much different than the U.S." myth.

Yeah now, that makes perfect sense: The government influences their dependent scientists to scare the people about climate change... just for that suddenly, Green parties rise and environmentalism becomes a strong force, which makes said politicians lose their power and gets them in conflict with their major donators from big business. And that's the reason why politicians in Europe now pretend all the time they're doing something against global warming, but in reality try to use every loophole they find to not do much and to please the oil and car industry instead. That makes perfect sense.
