My daughter is thoroughly convinced, and I keep telling her that we BOTH agree 100% that pollution is bad and should be stopped, so why do you need me to be convinced that it’s causing “climate change”?

If the end goal is to stop pollution, I’m all in.

If it’s to spread socialism and give $billions to other countries, then not so much.

The problem is that pollution is a broad term.

If what comes out of your tailpipe is pollution, do we stop driving?

If what comes out of a coal power plant’s stacks is pollution, do we stop consuming power?

If what comes out of the tail end of a cow is pollution, do we stop eating beef?

Pollution has been bastardized. I don’t stand for pollution, but it has to be defined. We’ve tacked on so many regulations to so many industries, is continuing to regulate going to fix anything or are we regulating by sub-1% increments?

I remember the Greenhouse Effect of the 1960s. It was blamed on Pollution!

Then THE COMING ICE AGE! Blamed on pollution.

Now Global Warming, blamed on pollution.

If you watch the old 1964 movie THAT MAN FROM RIO there is a scene in which Jean Paul Belmondo hides outside a hotel room at the beach in Rio. Great scene of the ocean, roads, hotel row.
Then go to a Rio beach web cam and you will find no change in water level other than the tides.

Others have noticed the same in old beach movies and modern web cams on the US beaches. No change.

From the 1970’s on we’ve had overpopulation, new ice age, acid rain, ozone hole, global warming and climate change. None of them real. All of them designed to give power to the left (who are all Sun deniers).
