It is absolutely amazing to me how people think that scientist are all part of a secret evil underground society that is conspiring to trick people into thinking climate change is real. The purpose for them doing this is part of liberal plan to force us all into doing things that are highly inconvenient and will only have the effect of destroying our economy as we know it. To support this belief, these people cherry pick anomalies that can be construed in a context that supports their belief, while choosing to ignore the overwhelming data that discredits their beliefs.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what any one of us believe, what is going to happen is going to happen. Nor does anyone of us know the true extent of the effects (good, bad or indifferent) of dumping vast amounts of each particular human made ingredient into the environment. To bet that some of those ingredients won't eventually have significant dire effects on humanity seems like a rather poor bet to me.
Climates change, that is what they do. The earth has seen multiple ice ages and will see more.
People can't cause them (or more importantly prevent them).
Research scientists are not evil, or pure. They live on grant money, and the money comes largely from people that want their positions supported.
We are near the end of a few trends that do cause global temps to rise, I will cite if needed, but, if you don't believe me, you probably won't believe them.
We would likely enter a long mild cooling period in the next 24 months, without input from humans.
It was critical for the current administration to get a "green deal" on paper so as to take credit for the next climate change. joe manchin came within an inch of saving us, but, got what he wanted in the end to doom us.
Nearly unlimited government spending on a problem that would have resolved itself, now we will have to double the sacrifice of our hard earned money and freedom every year to the gods of fire and water to keep us from getting hot.
Had we made it to November, I think the US had a chance. I am not a end of the world kind of guy, but, I don't see ***** or any other sane person being able to step in and put this genie back in the bottle. Any money or freedom confiscated going forward will be guised as saving the earth (and the poor idiots from themselves).
Any calm sunny day will be because we invested in green energy, and every storm will be because we didn't invest enough.
