We have *never* seen a real debate on global warming and climate change.

In their usual style, The Left made speaking against climate change politically incorrect. They viciously attacked — including ruining careers — anyone who didn’t go along with the program. On the other side they made sure tremendous amounts of funding went into only studies that supported their claims.

The entire debate — or total lack of — and the tactics that have been used have been completely dishonest.

The climate change issue smells to high heaven. It is a one-sided political initiative. It is phony and rotten to the core.

At the very least, we need to ensure that the debate is honest and that funding is distributed evenly to both sides.

The lack of a debate is valid, and like the immigration issue, the lack of a debate finally led to a change in Washington DC.

Fortunately, Trump put this issue on his political platform with respect to regulations limiting our ability to create jobs and a growing economy. The climate change debate has to be confronted on many different threads, some of them are:

Is man really capable of changing the climate (long term?)

Are regulations concerning CO2 really effective or do we just delay any climate effect

Do climate models hold water (to use a term from My Cousin Vinny)?

If we need some kind of political reaction, what would be the best thing to do, stop our economy or build sea walls?

Is freedom and a free market the best way to handle this, or should we choose central government tyranny?

Etc. This list can be carried on for a long time. The bottom line is that so many things are involved that we need to have this debate, but the good news is that with Trump we have already had an election.
