“If it’s getting warmer, it’s global warming. If it’s getting cooler, it’s because of global warming.”
The scam conveniantly works both ways so its supporters can claim to be right no matter what happens.
Climate fluctuates like the Dow Jones. When the fluctuation du jour is towards hot, it’s global warming. When it’s toward cold, it’s global cooling. All they need do is say that that fluctuation is a long-term trend, and that it’s all our fault for polluting the earth for personal gain, rather than collectivist idiocy.
