Sure. I am open to the idea of climate change, since I know from reading history and science that the climate does change. I am not terribly alarmed about it because I don’t believe human activity caused it or that human activity can stop it. One would think that the information we do have about past climate change would factor into the discussion, although for the fanatics for whom this is almost a religion, this has no influence. So it does go back, as you say, to taxation and control. I remember someone saying, “Green is the new Red.”
Of course the climate charges. Wine used to grow in northern Britain.
Much of that change is driven by changes in the sun. Sunspot numbers have been correlated with English grain prices. The more sun spots, the lower the grain prices. Probably the sun doesn’t eat much grain, so the cause and effect relationship goes the other way. The sun causes grain prices to go up and down.
The sun is much much bigger than the earth. It is also far away from the earth. Accordingly there is very little human effect on the sun.
Human effect on Glow-ball Warming is small. QED
