The scientific consensus seems very strong on both, so unless that changes I accept both as real.

I dislike the use of the word believe in this context. I accept the theory of evolution and the fact that climate change is occurring.

Evolution is observable.

Climate change has been shown to occur in cycles.

So yes to both.

May I ask why you believe climate change isn't real?

It's important to note that not all religious individuals are creationists and the heart of the climate change debate isn't whether climate change is occurring but how much of a role human played in affecting the changes and how much of it is the planet's natural cycles.

The government controls the climate. To a certain point it is directed.

Yes, I do not need to believe as I have reason to accept both evolution and climate change beyond reasonable doubt.

If it wasn't for climate change, the Vikings never would have made it to North America.

I don't know about evolution, something about the Galapagos Islands?

Why would I need to believe in something that has strong scientific evidence backing its claims? More like I accept that evolution and climate change is occurring....

No. Evilution is Satan. The world was 6000 years and the dino bones were actually dragons.

Climate change doesn't exist. Obviously the world is going to end because christians are being oppressed.

You can't believe or disbelieve in Evolution and Climate Change because both are based on scientific consensus and observable fact so whether you believe or disbelieve is irrelevant. You either accept the facts or you remain ignorant to them.

Poll should allow for people who believe in one but not the other.

Belief is irrelevant as both as facts. It's like asking if someone believes they need to breath oxygen and drink water to live.

Yes. There's a lot of evidence and strong consensus behind both.

Climate change is a fact. As for evolution, I'm more inclined towards spiritual evolution which is basically the same thing.

@gwynnblade Spiritual evolution (what the hell does that even mean?) and physical evolution (speciation) are nothing alike.

Evolution used to exist but they disbanded years ago.
