So called climate change is just a scam to implement communism into our lives and I’m not buying it, even though I do believe good stewardship of the earth God created is important.

This article misses the big picture. Is man made CO2 a going to raise temperatures. I claim it will not. Next to Oxygen in the Periodic table of elements is Flourine. It is a very reactive gas and chemists actually died trying to get a pure sample. With one very rare exception it is not found in its elemental state anywhere in nature.

I mention this because Oxygen is nearly as reactive. Its chemical power is confirmed every time a match is lit. How did such a reactive element become 21% of our atmosphere? Plants . Because of the persistence of plants releasing oxygen into the air , we now take for granted the very air we breath . Huge deposits of iron oxide from the distant past reveal the long term effect of plants releasing oxygen. They simply pumped out enough so that the things that could react were saturated.

Those same plants take in the CO2 animals breath out and any other source of CO2. Plants have become so efficient at it that only .06% of the air is CO2. Earth is between two planets with CO2 as the dominate gas and yet it here on Earth it is relatively rare!

Obviously Mankind has added more CO2 but is it a problem plants can't handle? NASA did studies and found the world is a greener place because of all this extra CO2! Plants obviously are not quick to use it but their persistence always wins in the end . If they weren't you would not be breathing oxygen right now.

The climate is changing. It always has, and always will, regardless of what we do.

This is how you know its a scam. The corporate media NEVER EVER EVER reports on any of the benefits of a slightly warmer climate.

This, despite the fact that we know from the past that periods of warmer temperatures resulted in human flourishing - not catastrophe. In fact, the return of a colder climate made the land less productive, reduced crop yields, made people be more hungry and weakened the population right before the bubonic plague hit. The human population boomed during warmer periods and crashed during colder ones.

ie history tells us the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the corporate media is trying to get us to believe now.

CO2 is a life-giving gas. Without it no living creature would exist, yet, the EPA classifies it as a pollutant.

Earth has had much, much higher CO2 levels in the past. Right now Earth is at its lowest levels seen in a billion years at 420ppm. If the CO2 level of the planet were to get to below 150ppm all life would cease to exist. Back at the end of the Little Ice Age (about 1850) it dropped to around 250ppm.

Keep exhaling, driving your SUV, and using electricity. All life on the planet depends on it.

We’re running out of oil!!!

The Climate Change Activists, if given a choice, always seem to spend their vacations in Warm Sunny Places, like Tropical Islands, Hawaii, the Rivera, Costa Del Sol, Ibiza, Florida, and Bali.

They hardly ever go to Nunavut or Antarctica.

Just Sayin’.

Climate is a thermodynamic function of the earth’s surface, not its atmosphere. The atmosphere is too wimpy to play any significant role in climate. The only two atmospheric components that shape weather are water vapor and water condensate (fog, mist, rain, snow, etc.) None of the components of the atmosphere have the mass to trap/sustain thermal content.
Any time anybody discusses the atmosphere, that person is talking about weather, not climate.
The atmosphere converts the climate’s thermal content into weather and puffs it around.
