The public’s social (carbon) concerns and scientific communication are easily handled.
STOP THE ANTI-CARBON, FEAR-MONGERING PROPAGANDA!
ONLY PRESENT REAL SCIENCE!
That was soooo hard?
The big trick, however, is squashing the socialist, totalitarian agenda that is behind the AGW scam. That’s going to take time and stamina.
Believing that it is important to understand the carbon cycle is predicated on the idea that carbon, i.e., CO2, is a problem. As there is no downside to CO2, it being plant food, unable to cause ocean acidification, and, did I say, it is plant food. And it does not cause global warming. As CO2 interacts with water vapor to interfere with its ability to convert radiation to heat and also interacts with water vapor such that absolute water vapor decreases as CO2 increases, there is no problem. AND, the icing on the cake is that, if we do have 20–30 more years of cooling (according to IPCC 20–30 years without warming, at least), the oceans will begin to suck up CO2, just as they always have—there appears to be an 8-year lag once cooling commences.
The simple fact that our emissions have increased 33% in the last ten years and, not only has there been no warming—some cooling instead—but the rate of rise of atmospheric CO2 has been constant, if not slightly decreased. There is no indication that man’s emissions are having any effect on atmospheric CO2 and the global temperatures are failing to respond to the IPCC’s predictions.
So, guys, let’s save some money and not spend billions learning details of a non-issue. There are lots of other things that need attention.
We must remember, folks, there are going to be a lot of scientists out there soon looking for work, cobbling up new projects as their global warming-related funding goes bye-bye.

As a chemist, it bugs me that a lessening of pH from 8.2 to about 8.0 could be called acidification.
It is obvious that acidification is being redefined in this context to invoke fear in the ignorant.
