The Earth has been warming for the last 20,000 or so years; witness the sudden (in geological terms) end of the last glaciation. Now matter how hard we try, we can not affect the global temperature more than a fraction of a degree for any period of time. A “nuclear winter”, for example, would last a few years, and show up as a tiny blip on a chart of a thousand years, which to nature is the blink of an eye.

Climate change is natural and beyond our control. I’m all for not fouling our nest; clean water and air are good things. But leftists’ lying about the results of human activity makes me want to get a really big coal furnace just to pi$$ the liars off!

Climate change is natural and beyond our control.

I'd contend that the word "climate" is a synonym for "change". If man could force climate to behave and hold to some ideal, in short order the word "climate" would lose all meaning. If ambient conditions never changed the very nature of "climate" would fall from conscious notice.

If it never got dark, you'd never miss the night.
