There may be 8 billion people, but the world is widely uninhabited and vast. To think that we have that kind of affect on a planet is.. honestly unbelievable.
Believing with any kind of confidence that the science models we have today can accurately explain what is happening (in terms of climate change), let alone say that us, humans are responsible is arrogant.
The first usable temperature recording on earth were IN 1880 LOL
My gut tells me this is all just a ploy for a larger and more capable government. Especially the fact that it's brewing on the left, who is painfully obvious about striving for a larger more powerful government.
People are so brainwashed into this shit to the point that if there is an opposing idea to what they believe to be true, they'll pull their hair and scream.
If you look at the whole package that comes with the climate change progressive folks, everything they believe in. It's mostly awful lol.

Meeting the needs and lifting the living standards of a large and growing world population will require higher levels of production and result in greater consumption. Without green reforms in energy, manufacturing and transport, as well as changes in human behaviour, this will place mounting pressures on the natural environment.

8bn is a guesstimate. We can't even get the US census within 6%, so that's a margin error of almost 20m here alone. Imagine the miscounting that goes on in other countries. If we extrapolate the US error globally, that translates to almost a .5bn sway in actual numbers.
I kinda see what you are saying MrBurgundy. The world is a lot larger than perceived due to transportation and communication. If I were to walk out of my house and head due east, would would be in civilization for about an hour (~2.5miles). Then in the wilderness/glades for about 75mi with only two country roads between. But, If I go the other direction, it would be single family homes, then shopping centers, apt complexes, then more industrial, then inter-coastal and beaches, all within 10mi.

neither country has something equivalent to our EPA. so multiply a quarter of the world's population by lack of regulation. that's the reason asia as a continent is a major contributor to the issue.
again, i'm not suggesting any of us as individuals can do anything about it, other than please don't throw a big-block chevy with a weiand blower into a diesel BMW and run it on the street just because it's smog-exempt and you can.past:

having to hike a few more hundred more meters up the hill every year to set another marker must have been some shit, though, so respect for doing that field work.past:
