I did not attend Yale but even I know you can not prove a fact by popular vote (poll).
If you just do a short search in human history you will find all kinds of things that people believed to be true which turned out not to be.
The earth may or may not be getting warmer. I have no argument with those that claim one way or another.
My objection is when they attempt to claim humans can change the world’s climate.
Where I am living today was under about five miles of ice only 15 to 20,000 years ago. It is obvious the climate changed from then to now. Man has only had industries for about 200 years. I doubt that even from the 1st day of the industrial revolution to now man has contributed as much pollutants to the atmosphere as Volcanoes.
Global Cooling as it was called in the 70s (changed to Global warming when it turned out the earth was not cooling) was invented as a social experiment. A way to control the people.
As some attempt to make social changes “for the children”, those that want to shut down all economical freedom do it in the name of the “future children”.
I guess it is okay that today’s children suffer as long as some future child has a utopia to be born into (unless aborted first).
Nothing goes on forever. At the turn of the century there were prohibitionist running around smashing beer barrels(for the children). There were strong enough to get a constitutional amendment passed that turned out to have all kinds of unintended consequences.
Sooner or later ecologist will loose their hold on the American people, the only question is how much damage they will have done before that happens.
