Treating the existence of climate change as a debate, there is no debate, don't like 99% of scientists believe that climate change exists? (please correct if I've got my facts screwed) The first step is to stop acting like these deniers have something credible to say against climate change existing we are past that, its here and its ready to kill us point. blank and the period. The only debate we should be having is what the fuck we are going to do about it? As our government has shown, not a damn thing, we'll keep pretending that there is a chance that it doesn't exist so that everyone can sleep a little better at night, and our politicians can keep getting paid by the denier coal, oil and other polluting industries. I bet the coal and oil CEO's probably already got their doomsday bunkers ready, because they know what's happening and they know they are part of what's causing it. They'll burn the environment down and everybody with it, then wait for the sea levels to lower and start all over again not giving a damn as long as they make their money!!
