I believe in climate change. Just not anthropogenic climate change. Geology and the universe tells us that the one thing we can count on is change. But taxing the people, social engineering and power grabbing from our overlords in Washington Dc won’t make a spits worth of difference in the climate. We should make responsible choices in land stewardship with a balance between ecology, economy and individual freedoms/responsibility.

Just not anthropogenic climate change.

If we build 100,000 wind turbines to extract a terawatt of energy from the very thin band of atmosphere where all water evaporation takes place, we'll see anthropogenic climate change, as well as anthropogenic geological change from the mining of copper, iron, aluminum, and cement limestone. The resources consumed and resulting environmental damage from building and maintaining 100,000 wind turbines would exceed the clean coal equivalent. Anyone can determine that by running the cost figures because cost is a function of total resource consumption.
