(12,041 posts)30. Is there conclusive evidence that says it was a much smaller factor?
If the "certain other DUer" you are referring to is me then I remind you once again that I have been saying from the very beginning that I SUSPECT climate change played a role I NEVER made a conclusive statement that it did. The AP did make a conclusive statement that it was a "much smaller factor" so if you are upset at anyone for making a conclusive statement you should be upset with the AP.

I think the AP is wrong in saying climate change is responsible "to a much lesser degree"

Absolutely not, and in fact, you *completely* missed the point I was trying to make.

I didn't say that *YOU* did that. I merely said that it has been done before.

I admit that some parts were poorly written but it didn't change the intent of said statement......

If a significant number of people made such a claim it would not take hours of Googling

That is absolutely false, there is much scientific evidence that shows climate change is serious

Maybe you need reading comprehension because it was the AP who made the conclusive statement

"climate change is happening and it is human caused." OK, and nobody's argued otherwise.

They can't conclusively say that climate change is only responsible to a "much lesser extent" either
