My understanding is that humans are contributing to climate change. My opinion is that we should do what we can to reduce pollution and preserve the natural environment. If doing so ultimately helps slow the rate of climate change, all the better.

If you have scientific data to support the claim that humans are causing climate change I would like to see it. To date all I have seen is anecdotal evidence and extreme antagonism is one challenges the hypothesis and asks for actual data.

From everything I have read, it seems the overwhelming scientific consensus is that humans are at the very least contributing to climate change. To what degree we are doing so is something I do not know.

What to do about it is a different question. I believe having clean air, water, and soil should be our priority, not a sole focus on reducing emissions.

For the majority of human history, the overwhelming scientific consensus was that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it. Did that make it true?

There is overwhelming EVIDENCE the earth has gone through numerous cycles of heating and cooling before humans existed. It is, quite frankly, an absurd amount of hubris to think humans are responsible for it this time or able to do anything about it beyond learning to live with it.

Data can be manipulated if you have a predetermined objective. Could we be contributing? Possibly. I'd say there is more evidence of disproven timelines and models from these same "scientists" that preach some version of we have to change now or we will be dead in X years, than there are reliable proofs of humans causing or contributing to the current trends.

Where I do agree is that all humans need to find a way to ensure we have clean air, water and resources to live and be prosperous.

And finally, just to address a hot button issue directly related to this topic: Any idiot that flies a private jet halfway around the world to discuss how to make that happen, or tell me that I need to stop using gas-powered engines can pound sand because they clearly don't know shit.

To quote Dennis Miller: "Michael Chrichton was the smartest person I've ever met, and he didn't believe in man-made global warming".
Read his book "State Of Fear".

Isn't that a semi-auto.....not normally a first choice for trap...one shot per pull. Maybe skeet but most likely choice O/U. My opinion...not a trap guy.

A400 is a lot cheaper than a quality O/U trap gun. I know several Master class Sporting Clays guys that shoot an A400 due to the cost and it is also a pretty good gun.
I took an A400 in 20ga to Argentina for dove hunting and it performed well.
