Do you truly believe this? Obviously climates have always changed. Why would that stop?

Climates have always changed in the history of the earth. There have been ice ages and tropical times. So it would be really really weird if there was no climate change anymore all of the sudden?
Generally, the denial regarding climate change is that it's not man-made, not that it's not happening at all. I must say that if you truly believe there is no climate change at all, then your belief appears to completely ignore facts and rational thought.
Btw, there are gases that impact the way sun energy travels through/is preserved in the atmosphere of this planet. Our behavior is changing the ratio of those gases in the atmosphere. It would be really unlikely that this would have no effect whatsoever.
The question in general is to what extent it's us and to what extent it's a natural process, an ever returning cycle of climate change, during which we just happen to be alive. The most likely answer is that it's a combination of the two.
Let me ask you a question, a hypothetical, so just bear with me even if you vehemently disagree: if our behavior is in fact impacting the cycle of climate change, do you think it would be our responsibility to try and do something about it?

There's a certain irony in this exchange after my responses in another conversation about science

Just like those who were politcal drawn to it rushed to accept it as soon as they heard about it

I don't even see how it ever turned into a thing US conservatives refuse to accept

well since it is being used to promote what the liberals wanted it can't be surprising

The only denials of climate change I've seen are (stupidly) based on anecdotal evidence.
