*logical fallacies and propaganda tools*
1. “Climate change is a natural not a man-made process”
Why is Climate change natural rather than a man-made process?
INTRODUCTION
Slippery Slope, Hasty Generalisation, Post hoc ergo propter hoc,Genetic Fallacy(idea of someone else),Circular Argument(restating), Straw Man.
PARAGRAPH 1- There has been a rise in temperatures before, it is just how the earth adapts. This has been taking place even before human existence. (" For the past million years the natural climate has oscillated between warm periods and ice ages.")
PARAGRAPH 2- There is no proof that the CO2 levels which we have been releasing into the atmosphere prove that this(human activity) has lead to the warming of our planet right now. ---------------use bandwagon (e.g. it is common sense that...)
PARAGRAPH 3 - Solar activity (sunspots and cycles) have lead to the warming of our planet rather than human activity.----------use exaggeration
some stupid points:
What you can say is, yes, carbon dioxide (in the atmosphere) is at levels higher than ever before, and carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so it’s reasonable to say that there’s warming associated with the increase of carbon dioxide. But you can’t make the leap yet that all the cars in the world have led to what we’re observing in the thinning of the Greenland ice sheet.
And so you have all these processed mixed together that have been going on for thousands of years, and you’re in the difficult position of trying to separate something very recent from the natural cycle without fully understanding what that natural cycle is.”
The earth could also be warming as a response to last glacial period around 10,000 years ago.
-Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere.

-Carbon dioxide is good for plant life and is a natural constituent of the atmosphere.
-During Earth’s long
history there has been more and
less carbon dioxide in the atmos-
phere than we see today.
-Regionally, climate has
been shown to change rapidly in
the past and will continue to do so
in the future.
-Life
on earth has been shown to thrive
when planetary temperatures are
warmer as opposed to colder.
-We simply
don’t understand the climate system well enough nor have the
data to demonstrate that human-
ity is having a substantial impact
on climate change.
-There's no empirical evidence "There is no actual evidence that carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming. "
-There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
-There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.
-After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.
- It is myth that receding glaciers are proof of global warming as glaciers have been receding and growing cyclically for many centuries
