I can't pretend to understand everything associated with global weather and climate.

However, you have to ask yourself a few questions.

Is there climate change? Probably.

Is it global warming? No.

Is it global cooling? No.

Are their cosmic forces at play? Absolutely

Is it man made? Part of it...maybe; no one really knows for sure.

Will driving a Volt save the world? Hell no!

Will Al Gore get rich off pushing a false narrative? Yup!

What can we as individuals do about it? Not much, especially since we don't know for certain that we are even the cause.

Should we do what we can to protect the environment? Sure! Trouble is that most of what the left wants us to do in the name of protecting the environment will not do anything to protect the environment.

So true. We have the best pollution controls in the world but the enviros want more. But they also want to maintain what they have (cars, lights that turn on with a switch rather than a match, etc.). However their demands for more regulations while keeping our modern conveniences has led to jobs and manufacturing going overseas where pollution controls are minimal at best. Ignoring those facts does nothing to improve the planet but does hurt our economy, which may be their ultimate goal as long as it doesn't restrict their standard of living.
