You would think we would have had a debate on whether CAGW is a serious threat before we implemented policies that assume that it is. Unfortunately, we haven’t. Instead we use dishonest language like Climate Change (as if the climate has ever not changed) to express our fears.
As anyone outside the Left knows, left-wing people define "conversations" about issues as "we talk, you bend over". As far as the Left is concerned, we have already had the entire "debate" about climate change, and they won it.
Debate about the climate has been deliberately stifled. It has been a broad-based effort. Major media outlets (LA Times, Meet the Press, etc.) have declared as a matter of policy they will not report anything that does not support the alarmist agenda, even factual reports about legitimate research. Most social media will deplatform anyone who departs from the climate "consensus." Realist scientists find it very difficult to get research articles published. Speaking up for real science gets your dissertation rejected, gets you denied tenure, gets you ostracized and disinvited from professional conferences, or outright gets you fired. These tactics have been so successful they are being adopted by the left for all their causes.
Assuming that CO2 is a problem (large assumption) the fact of the matter is that nothing the US does about reducing our production of CO2 matters because (a) the atmosphere is well-mixed globally, and (b) increased coal and gas usage in China and India are more than offsetting any reduction by us. Net zero is a pointless exercise unless your point is the destruction of the US economy.
I saw a wonderful documentary series, "Voyage of the Continents." I recommend it to anyone who thinks climate and conditions have never changed.
There is also an excellent documentary about the history of Australia. It has undergone massive climate change over the eons and even into relatively recent times.
No kidding. I sit here on a steamy summer morning, looking out at the skyline of New York and muse that it was once covered with an ice sheet up to the height of the Empire State Building. Just wait til we start back on that cycle......
The Colorado plateau used to be a huge inland sea. Amazing the changes that occurred naturally - but politicians think they can control nature to ‘save the planet’
When I was a child in a NYC public school we were terrified about the coming Ice Age. Our teachers reminded us NYC was once under 2 miles of glacier. The granite boulders the glaciers had pushed ahead of them were visible in all the parks. This new Ice Age would extend down through Virginia.
As a result the new climate change alarmists have no power over me. The climate is always changing and always has. There was a time when the Sahara was a tropical rain forest. There was a time when the atmosphere had 16 times more carbon dioxide than now. (Core samples taken from the ice in Greenland). Somehow life thrived.
Humans have to adapt to climate. It has always been that way. Look at the ruined cities off the coastlines, a victim of the melting ice after the last Ice Age. No one wants to accept that climate CHANGES, no matter what we do.
Apparently this inordinate heat wave the northern hemisphere is experiencing is being caused by solar flares. They have had to reposition the geosynchronous satellites to prevent the flares from frying them. Saw a newspaper from 1921, when they were going through the same thing. It may have also happened during the Dust Bowl.
Watch the WEF crowd jump on this and try to move their agenda forward.
If you remember the article on agriculture a week or two ago...the no-till practices that *require* the application of pesticides were invented to *prevent* Dust Bowl conditions from occurring again.

It is a deranged, misguided ideology which will crush and hurt many actual living breathing people.

The North Sea used to be a warm, humid plains region with elephants and apes we associate with Africa!

Just imagine if the Dust Bowl occurred today. The shrieks, the hysterics, the rending of garments.....................
We may see a repeat. Have you seen the drought going on in the West?
Chris Martensen of Peak Prosperity did a show on it and the maps of water tables, etc. were staggering and sobering.
