I quit arguing about global warming years ago.

But I am still astounded that intelligent people think our climate changing problems are because of things like Trump pulling out of the Paris accord. It was voluntary to begin with and I'd bet those countries that are still committed to it, haven't hit their targets of reducing CO2 either. What a bunch of baloney.

I have read and listened to the economist Bjorn Lomborg, who believes in climate change but argues that it's impact is much less severe than the extremists make it sound. And that the enormous costs could be better spent on other world problems like poverty and potable drinking water.

This is not verbatim, but basically he has said that if ALL (not just some, but all) of the wealth available in the world were spent to fight climate change, it would have such a small impact that it would be a complete waste of the world's resources.

This is why so many people don't believe in climate change, or if they do, they are not willing to give up their modern lifestyles to make such small changes in the outcome.

The climate change fanatics like AO-C and Greta the Outraged, are trying to instill fear into the equation and people just are not buying it. The world is not going to implode in 12 more years if we don't commit to this Green New Deal. Telling people they have to revert back to living in the Stone Age to save the planet is just not credible to most intelligent folks.

This article about the world's ocean cities being buried under water within 30 years is just another example of fear mongering and going over the top with the climate change argument. People are not even paying attention when they read crap like that.

Intelligent? No. Educated beyond their intelligence, with false doctrines.
