It should not need to be restated in 2016 that climate change is real and mostly man-made.

Wrong. The climate is changing on its own, and man has almost no ability to stop it from changing, except inside very small volumes like houses and buildings.

Crap like this shows why the legacy lying media is now mostly irrelevant. Like mankind is mostly irrelevant to climate change.

I've been in a small interactive group led by Bjorn Lomborg. His premise is that global warming is real, it is man-made, but its consequences aren't all that severe. To the extent one region of the world is harmed, another region benefits. (For example, global warming may open up more land for agricultural purposes in Canada.)

Furthermore, Lomborg says that proposed reactions to global warming are either too expensive / not technologically feasible or they are not very effective. Lomborg's basic conclusion was that there are much more cost effective ways to improve the world than tackling global warming. Providing low-cost immunizations to millions in developing countries would, in Lomborg's opinion, provide much more bang for the buck.

Since actual results are cost prohibitive, the only reason to maintain it is to have an outlet for transferring wealth to other pockets.

If one truly wanted actual results, quickly, one would have to dismantle the air industry. The air itself would be cleaned up in a week. Proof? easy. The air cleared up when all flights were grounded during 911 and the week after that.

There was a lot less noise pollution, too. The sudden quiet was audible.

If Trump is smart, he will play rope-a-dope with the alarmists, appearing to support the junk science, but playing off the poor nations against the rich in the background. This is the conflict that has stalled this theater production over the years.

He can 're-state' it all he wants; doesn't make it true.
