none of them including Cruz want us to prosper.

Where do you get this crap from? Aren't you the guy who believes that so-called "man-made global warming" is a proven fact?

Yes, I'm the guy who knows that volcanoes do not explain CO2 unless they have started doing that purely coincidentally with the rise of fossil fuel. I also know roughly how much CO2 is produced by natural warming, about 5ppm or so total for the last century and can't explain the 2-3 ppm per year rise. I am less sure about the biosphere, it causes large annual swings, but doesn't look like it causes CO2 to rise year after year. I am quite knowledgeable having studied all scientific and contrarian literature.

So much for CO2, what about warming? Well, it is a fact that with CO2 of zero it would be a cold planet, basically frozen. More CO2 means more warming and the only question is how much. Recent experience of rising CO2 and very little warming means not much. Not a worry, in fact it is a benefit.

But speaking of off-topic, aren't you the guy who depises Putin even though he is carpet bombing ISIS and McCain's ISIS-lite? I catch your drift about Russia but we have big problems with China and the threat from them is growing faster.
