A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.
—Albert Einstein
In 1912, amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson claimed to have discovered the "missing link" between ape and man, known as "The Piltdown Man." He had found part of a human-like skull in Pleistocene gravel beds near Piltdown village in Sussex, England. Dawson submitted the find to Arthur Smith Woodward, keeper of geology at the Natural History Museum. Smith Woodward made a reconstruction of skull fragments, and the archaeologists hypothesized that the find indicated evidence of a human ancestor living 500,000 years ago. They announced their discovery at a Geological Society meeting in 1912. For the most part, their story was accepted as fact. However, subsequent chemical testing showed that the skull and jaw fragments actually came from two different species, a human and an ape.
The conclusion: Piltdown Man was an audacious fake and sophisticated scientific fraud. Forty-one years elapsed between the discovery of the "Piltdown Man" and the determination that it was a fraud.
In 1988, the United Nations formed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (U.N. IPCC). In its seminal report in 1990, the U.N. IPCC stated that "at the then current rate of world emissions of CO2, the global mean temperature would likely increase by 1°C by 2025." This statement formed the basis for the hypothesis that anthropogenic (man-made) global warming resulted from the increased concentration of CO2 in the Earth's lower atmosphere resulting from man-made activities. Central to the hypothesis was that the temperature of the lower troposphere would increase as the concentration of CO2 in the troposphere increased. Therefore, in its 1990 report, the U.N. IPCC established a direct linkage between the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and the temperature of the lower troposphere.

I’ve been repeating this on every comment platform that I visit. Not only is it the greatest scientific fraud it is also the greatest economic fraud in history as well. It has siphoned literally trillions of dollars from the world’s economies for a gigantic hoax.
The climate is always changing. Sometimes we get big shifts for no apparent reason. And so it has always been.
What is a scam is that we are causing it, or that we can change it except in small areas.
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Government-manufactured (imo) experimental CV19 jab hoax has needlessly killed more people than government-manufactured global warming hoax has imo.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Later.

Climate change killed off the Piltdown Man.
Of course it is a FRaud!
All anyone has to do is FOLLOW THE MONEY!
Doesn’t change the fact that at the time it represented scientific fraud in the face of evidence to the contrary.
Re-read my comment.
You're saying that the Ancient Greeks had evidence to the contrary?
That's good.
Obviously this guy hasn’t gotten the memo.
It’s not global warming, it’s climate change.
I mean “climate crisis”, I mean “climate EMERGENCY! “ I mean “WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!”
>>>>As to CO2 — it is essential for all life on earth.<<<<<
Humans exhale CO2.
May I suggest if any human believes CO2 is evil, they should do their part and stop exhaling their own CO2.
That would stop the destruction of so much in America.
Correct anyone with over 100 IQ and a decent education knows it is a fraud. Trouble being is how to re-educate the low IQ’s and brainwashed to admit they have been had?
Nice argument but one area - one short time frame and one variable - alone is not sufficient for any hypotthesis. The author needs to expand the range of CO2 science. It’s out there. They were just too lazy to go get it. Like a lot of writers at American Thinker. Good on position, weak on how it is argued.
“The day the climate STOPS changing will be a really bad day”!
WINNER!
About 4 years ago I met a lady who was a Flat Earther. She was strange, to say the least.
Intentionally dumbing down the population.
And attempting to force any number of anti science theories like Critical Race Theory,men can be women,men can give birth..
And that’s not even going into the area of law that supposedly found Hillary inocent.
And Trump committed a crime..although they can’t say what crime. And Trump who drew crowds in the tens of thousands was beat by a basement dwelling bird brain ...who drew crowds in the dozens..got the most popular vote in the history of America.
Yep.
Could she defend her interesting belief beyond the Bible verse that says angels stood at the four corners of the earth and blew trumphets.
