Huge fires are burning all over the world, including the Arctic Circle. Record heat is killing people in several different countries. How can people deny climate change? It is shocking that people do not believe the majority of scientists, and what is happening under their nose.

It isn't simply the heat of the day, or 'highs' that are the problem, but the nighttime lows. Firefighters have been noticing for quite some time now, that low temperatures during the night are rising, to a greater percentage than the daytime highs. This means that, in many cases, the dew point may not be reached, dry fuel is not moistened and the forest fire is not 'tamped down' during the night. It is possible that we've been focusing on an incomplete set of metrics, and that the rising daily (or nightly) lows offer even more compelling evidence of climate change.

I have an acquaintance with whom I can discuss the Bible, evolution or politics but if I bring up climate change its pure blasphemy. He goes berserk. It really seems to be a major issue in the evangelical community and completely binary.

@Matias Absolutely agree, but unlike the GMO issue, we actually do have a good deal of science regarding the impact of human activity on the climate.
@Matias Corn and soybeans are the two big ones. But to me at least, it depends on the reason or purpose for the modification. Some varieties are made to be resistant to insects, others are modified to be drought tolerant, while others are designed to tolerate herbicides. And here we have a potential side effect. Monsanto’s patented genetically modified soybeans, for example, represent a monopoly in this country, and their modification makes them resistant to Monsanto’s herbicide, Round-up, which is now being sprayed in copious amounts. Has Round-up (glyphosate) been scientifically proven to be harmful to humans? Not as of yet. Do you want your soy products to be covered in the stuff? Perhaps not, but that would not be a scientifically supportable position, at this time. I am likewise not an expert on the subject. Tschüss!
Huge fires? Link?

Actually, many do believe that the climate is changing, they just deny that it has anything to do with humans. (Just the will of God, don't ya know?)

The climate has just gotten hotter every year since the early 80's the green house effect is real always has been .. And it is just going to get worse !!
Whilst it's important not to muddle up climate and weather I have to say that this weather does seem to be particularly unusual. The very fact the we're sitting on opposite sides of an ocean and discussing the same weather is pretty much a first for me.

It's easy for morons with air conditioners to deny it.
