A discussion on political frameworks

Recently, I was in a discussion with someone, a staunch GOP supporter who was arguing against climate change.  There were three arguments proffered by him:

  • First, our observations are over too small a period to conclude anything about climate change.
  • Secondly, normal fluctuations in climate are so large that its foolish to ascribe the current heating to humans.
  • Thirdly, even if climate change is real, its hardly as calamitous as people make it out to be.
