There's no reason to believe in pollution, it's a fact you have to acknowledge; just as climate change is.

The solubility of CO² in water (yes a gas can "dissolve" into water) is worse when its temperature is higher (just like warm soda hasnt any gas in it anymore).

It's still soluble enough to acidify the water substantially which then aggresses corals even more, or so I've read. There's something with corals, their inbuild algae and water CO2 content going on though I don't remember what exactly anymore.

I'm torn about this subject because on one hand, we're coming out of an Ice Age so it's normal that a warm up is occurring.
The idea that man causes it is a little iffy to me but I agree that pollution could help accelerate the process.
Also those maniacs who are decimating to Amazonian forest are definitely causing a change in the weather.
It brakes the cycle of trees filtering the CO2 and the evaporation causing clouds that produces rain.
It also weakens the soil which can create huge and deadly mud slides during rainy seasons so I don't really know what to think of it honestly.

those maniacs who are decimating to Amazonian forest

until a few year ago (in brazil) land owners were only allowed to cut about 20% of their trees. (then sell the land so the new owner can cut 20%)
they have changed that to a whooping 75%.
it wont take very long befor siberia is the only giant forest left. especially whit the worlds demand on rainforest wood.

We live in a depressing world. Oh well, I'll laugh/cough when everyone realizes they have lost a fifth of the world's oxygen with the missing Amazon.

I believe in Climate Change, for certain. There are too many changes happening to ignore. When I lived in Christchurch, New Zealand, we were getting snow. NZ is a relatively warm country, and the cold winters bear little snow due to the sea being so close. Yet we started getting snow a fair bit, in the recent two years. Other examples can be found throughout the world, not to mention the ozone hole baking Antartica.

Why don't people believe in Climate Change?

There's two major reasons that I've seen that people give for it.

1) The misnomer of "Global Warming" and then citing a cold day.

2) Disbelief that emissions given off can have an effect on the global environment.

This is the problem with our minds to always see two sides of every issue equally

Everything is equally valid when you're equally ignorant of facts. What it boils down to, anyways.

On one side, politicians who have no idea what they are talking about and have something to say.

Don't forget your movie stars, pop idols, comedians and what not. Their word must be as good as a scientist's in regards to a science matter, right? Why else would they be famous?

Proof that our modern "education" aint' doin' what twas' s'ppost' to.

Kind of like going to the toilet in a spring and expecting the spring to be fresh.

Ignorance is unacceptable when it comes to this kind of crisis, where the world is in grave danger and acting later seals our fate. Scientists should be in command in many areas, what with their unanimous agreement that our world is in danger ('cept for them "religious scientists" who I always laugh at) because politicians know about as much about Climate Change as they know about the state of affairs in their own brains.

Yes, you would probably need their approval to do anything in this place. I'm pretty sure most would be open to reason, and unlike politicians, they won't hold debates over it. I think.

I didn't say I don't acknowledge pollution. Just because I put "believe" doesen't mean I don't "acknowledge" it. Don't try to spin my words on me.

Even that relies on a number of factors (size of spring, if the water is moving or stagnant, etc). We can't say for certain the amount humans impact climate change. Sure, it has some effect, but is it akin to peeing in a bucket of water or in an ocean?
