Why do we care about climate change? The archeological record shows many glaciation and warm periods. It seems that is the way the planet renews itself. We learned that at Yellowstone. If we truly care about the environment, shouldn't we allow this and simply move people?

I doubt if you ask any activist, they could explain why it is bad. It is simply costly and inconvenient to man. Historically it is pretty natural if inconvenient.

The movement/argument seems pretty self serving.

There is nothing good or bad about it. It just “is.” It is a natural part of the cycle of the earth.

The climate nuts think that we can control/affect what the earth has been doing for literally billions of years. That is pretty much the definition of arrogance.

The current hysteria over “climate change” is simply a ploy to amass and preserve power over the people. It never was about the environment - mankind has not ascended to the level of being able to control climate. It is about milking money from mankind and accumulating power before the scam is revealed.

“Why do we care about climate change?”

Because we didn’t fight Al Gore and the Zeepers early enough.

When you know you’re being played, you have respond QUICKLY before they steal the narrative on an issue.

“human-induced climate change”

More correctly, it is

Catastrophic
Anthropogenic
Climate
Alterations

And like any good government program, the acronym (CACA) explains the science.

“Environmentalism is the new home of the Communist Party” - Rush Limbaugh

Liberal activists adopt causes that can’t speak for themselves and claim they are the “voice” of the neglected. Their solutions are almost always the same - higher taxes, reduced individual freedoms, more government controls.

“Climate change” is always going to happen and cannot be reversed. So-called “Man-made” change is rarely the fault of man but activists want us to be so stupid we’ll let them advance their communist goals.

Based on 39 years working in the same remote environment, yeah we’re warming up. Why? Take a look at that big yellow marble in the sky. It breathes, we breathe. We’re not going to stop that.

For a little fun, take a look here.

NOAA data is NOT to be trusted. Too many of the weather stations are sited wrong or not maintained or both.

From what I understand, all of the planets are slightly warming — even Pluto, in lock-step with Earth which means our Sun is just going through a phase. But you sure can make a lot of money scaring people. The government of the Earth are primarily worthless, and at worse, I wonder why we even bother. But with crisis like these that they make up, they can justify their being there. They love making up huge, unfixable problems, the climate, closing the IQ gaps, etc because there is nothing an individual can do. So people look to the worthless, cocaine-addled useless politicians for “help.”

When night approaches - we prepare for it.
When daylight approaches - we prepare for it.
When winter approaches - we prepare for it.
When spring approaches - we prepare for it.
When floods come - we evacuate.
When earthquakes come, we evacuate.
When hurricanes come, we evacuate.

When climate change approaches - we try to stop it.

We stopped tossing people into volcanoes to try to stop them a long time ago.

Climate change... it does and there’s nothing humans should ever do to change it.

Humans have been around ~250k years, earth around 4.5B years.

I’m guessing the next mass extinction event will resolve any issues humans may cause.

We often think about human-induced climate change as something that will happen in the future, but it is happening now.

So you want to off yourself for the sake of Mother Gaia?   Do you want to destroy all Bovidae, the biological family of cloven-hoofed, ruminant mammals that includes cattle, bison, buffalo, antelopes, and goat-antelopes such as sheep and goats?   Do you want to snuff out everyone who isn't a vegan or vegetarian?

The so called "Climate Change" is just another socialist scheme to control humanity.

News flash for those who believe earth is a stable planet and any changes must be from the influence of humans. Earth is a DYNAMIC planet! That means it’s climate does not have meaningful averages and that natural forces far exceed the pitifully small influences humans can exert.

There IS climate change occuring as we speak. It's G-D MADE CLIMATE CHANGE.
Last winter eco extremists were losing their collective minds when 6+ inches of snow fell in Pensacola. Snow in Fl, while rare does happen. And it's nothing new. The state has thousands of digitized photographs going back to the 1800's online. Quite a few of them pictures of snow on the ground in Tampa, Jacksonville, Tallahassee etc. going back over 100 years ago.

I’m going to offer a different point of view than what’s being expressed here.

Climate change IS real.

It’s happening on all of the planets in our star system. It’s not our fault, there is nothing we can do about it.

Politicians are using these changes to gain power. That’s the entirety of it.

However we will all be having weather extremes like we’ve never witnessed. 220 degree days, -40 degree days and maybe only a few days between those extremes. Growing food (plants and animals) will be very, very difficult and people will die because of it. Or, those same politicians will size control of it. Water, meat, vegetables and energy production will be reduced because these extreme weather flips will disrupt them. Expect 50 percent reductions in everything (which means doubling demand and 10 good price increases)

What is the end game? The sun. Many here follow suspicious observers - an online community that is aware of the changes taking place on the sun and the ultimate result of those changes. The sun is emitting different because it’s collecting a lot of solar material. That material will blow off the outer shell and the sun will return to its normal state.

We’re going to have really, really bad weather soon then a final climax of a solar flare that will rock the entire system. It will reset us - technologically and culturally and even geographically (many believe the earth itself will tilt to align with the new magnetic poles) and the chaos will be unlike anything we could have ever imagined.

An end of the world (as we know it). The more you look and follow this rabbit hole though the happier the end result.

I, for one, feel optimistic of the future. It’s the present that I can’t stand.

So called “climate change” a red herring and is and has been clearly anti Capitalism. Just consider what it proposes.

Human output is _nothing_ in comparison to the energy of the Sun and the plate tectonics and vulcanism of the Earth.
