What is your opinion on climate change? Man-made or not?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the contentious topic of climate change and its causes, particularly the debate over whether it is primarily driven by human activity or part of a natural cycle. Participants express concerns about the reliability of studies on the issue, suggesting that some may be influenced by political agendas rather than scientific evidence. There is a call for personal opinions on climate change and potential solutions, but the thread ultimately gets closed due to site rules prohibiting discussions on global warming.

There's been a lot in the news recently about climate change, global warming, and whether or not it is primarily caused by human activity. I know many studies have been done on the issue, but it seems for every study done saying it is man-made, another comes out saying it is not, and vice versa. I'm starting to get the feeling that some of these studies are more politically based than scientifically based...

So what are your personal opinions on climate change, and what should be done about it? Is it a man-made problem from CO2 emissions, or is it part of a natural cycle of cooling and warming? Not trying to start a debate, just honestly curious and wanting to see different ideas.

Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...

Thread '(Unprecedented?) Cluster of earthquakes in Greek islands'

These last days, there is a seemingly endless cluster of rather powerful earthquakes close to the islands of Santorini, Amorgos, Anafi, and Ios. Remember, this is a highly volcanically active region, Santorini especially being famous for the supervolcanic eruption which is conjectured to have led to the decline of the Minoan civilization: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_eruption To grasp the scale of what is happening, between the 26th of January and the 9th of February, 12000...
