When has climate ever NOT changed? But there is still no proof that human activity has anything to do with it. And even if it did, that doesn’t justify drastic regulation of the entire economy, which has always been the goal of the Warmies all along.
Have we fogotten or just ignored the history of science?
It was a “fact” that the Earth was the center of the solar system and it was a “fact” that the Earth was flat because a majority believed it so.
Just because a majority of scientists believe a thing to be true, does not make it so. Facts are facts even when everyone believes something completely at odds with those facts.
The current environment within the scientific community (including that fostered by those who provide funding) is very similar in regard the those taking the “global climate change is a modern scientific fraud” as it was in the days of Galileo Galilei and Nicolaus Copernicus.
Just as those men were reviled in their day, so are the people of today who say that “Yes, the global climate is changing, but it has always been in flux and will always be in flux.” In the days of Galileo and Copernicus (why was one known by his first name, the other by his last??), the opposition to their ideas came mainly from the Catholic Church.
Then the church was central. Today it is despised or ignored by many. The teachings of Scripture indicate clearly that global climate change, though it may occur, will never be catastrophic (Genesis 8:22: “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” [NIV]). This would, I believe, be the position of the church today.
But today it is not the church that is attempting to suppress an opposing view. The shoe is on the other foot it seems.
Willfully ignorant you say? And so are you to the true intentions of the Warmists. Marx couldn’t convince the world to let them run the economy, so now they are trying the global warming scare. Watermelons: green on the outside, red on the inside.
Wow. A whole lot of people believe what they want to believe, apparently, and don’t really care to find out what the truth of the matter is. That’s pretty sad. Unfortunately, there won’t be much satisfaction in yelling “I TOLD YOU SO” when agriculture is in collapse. Have any of you climate-denyers noticed that the polar ice-cap is less than half of what it was historically?

The incidence of bad weather is not proof of global warming or whatever Al calls it now.

True, Toon, but neither of those goals requires the kind of shackling of the economy these people advocate.
