On that note, so far, all any one of you has presented is an article on hacked emails, a few anecdotal stories, and cherry-picking. None of it was independently verified or replicated. Was it even taken in context?
Like I said from the beginning, Anthropogenic Climate Change may be incorrect. I accept the data and evidence. It has been shown to be statistically significant, and to be increasing in significance with more research over the course of decades. Predictions have been made by scientists. Those predictions have been tested and shown to be statistically significant. Not only have the "evidence" that you guys posted not replicated or verified, those who have presented that evidence have yet to make or test predictions based on that evidence. I hope climate change is wrong, but the research and technology developments alone would prove beneficial to future problems and sustainability. That's kinda how science has benefited human civilization since... science began. I wouldnt support forced changes because there isnt a better option. I do support research and technology, especially when the possibility of the what-ifs are extreme (good or bad). The same should be true for other areas of science, space, biology, medical, etc.
If you accepted the actual data and evidence. You would wonder why all of the fraud. Proven fraud. Not alleged fraud. Why the change in terms? the rhetoric of the Climate Alarmists is ever changing. First there would be no more snow, then they say all of this snow proves it. Drought proves it. Floods prove it. Everything proves it.
No rational mind accepts this. No way.
The actual facts are: The Earth is not warming. The Oceans are not rising. There is no marked increase in violent storms or hurricanes. Every single predication uttered by these fanatics has been and will be proven wrong.
Therefore, it can be surmised that their crack pot theories are wrong.
And yet it's always more research to find the missing heat. More millions out of the taxpayer pocket, more regulation, more destruction of personal freedom. More destruction of individual enterprise.
However, Obama's solar energy buddies are making a killing aren't they? We will be stopped burning coal, but; we'll sell it to the Chinese. More poverty, scarcity, lack and high prices for the average person. Plenty for the Corporate/Political Oligarchs though via peddling this Climate Change nonsense.
