In fact, I believe, and the data shows, that regional climates of the earth are constantly shifting, that these shifts can be extreme, and that the course of human history has been substantially affected by them.
The Sahara used to be rich farmland. The Anasazi abandoned their pueblos because of drought. The Celts used to live in China, and fled West for reasons probably related to the global warming that ended the Ice Age. The same warming drowned Sundaland and dispersed its peoples over a vast area. The Northern latitudes are periodically covered by ice sheets two miles deep.
All of these facts predict future changes, even future extreme ones.
None of them have anything to do with "carbon", or energy production, or the organization of modern industrial economies.
Are people REALLY stupid enough to believe that they do?

When people are religious about something being evil, trust me, they can believe almost anything. One of the hardest obstacles to at least get into believing the heliocentric theory of the universe by Copernicus was the fact that some key theologians actually got on the bandwagon, even though Biblically, I have not found anything to suggest that everything orbits the Earth. Thank the Lord for personally owned Bibles nowadays! As for Global Warming, it’s going to be thanks for everyone having a brief overview of history of climate, and how far a departure from it’s fact so many people don’t track a great deal of the climate changes throughout history.
Have you ever checked out numberwatch? I don’t entirely agree with the British Statistician, but he covers most of the elements of religious dogma, and how AGW covers the majority of them in how the theory operates.
