Nope, I never said that.
We are in a warming trend. As long as we are in this warming trend record breaking temps will keep happening. This is merely a continuation of the natural causes that started the trend.
Record breaking temps do NOT prove anthropogenic causes. That is just another confirmation bias that alarmists foolishly fall for without proper critical thinking.
Global warming is real, but not mostly anthropogenic.
Global warming is real. It seems strange to think that 7.5 billion humans who have developed much of the planet don't have a large impact on the warming climate. Heat islands (aka really large furnaces) are real, land use affects climate, greenhouse gases exist and are increasing in the atmosphere, all of these anthropogenic things affect climate.
I just had a conversation with my neighbor who was a farmer and he is a huge skeptic of man-made climate change. But, the guy loves the idea of increasing building and vehicle efficiencies, altering farm subsidy payouts which currently only reward corn growers to support something more sustainable which would require less pesticides and fertilizer, carbon sequestration techniques as a means to make stuff. He mentioned carbon fibers as a product and I looked it up afterwards, pretty cool:
C2CNT's approach is to capture CO2 directly from the flue stream of a power plant, cement kiln or other industrial facility, then convert it into pure carbon nanotubes. The process costs less than traditional carbon nanofiber manufacturing, such as chemical vapor deposition or polymer pulling, the company said.
He was excited about this stuff because it would increase our competitiveness, create jobs, and advance energy independence. So there are many different motivations for people to support these types of initiatives, even if you don't "believe" that human activities warm the planet. I know we'll never convince you that anthropogenic causes are actionable, but there are many other reasons to support innovation in these areas.
