That is called “GLOBAL COOLING” - wait a few months for it to go back to “GLOBAL WARMING”....
Has Greta figured it out yet?
So can I. I think it was the mid 70's. Then there was "population explosion" that the world couldn't possibly feed. You also had the alcar scare that almost killed the apple industry. And then you had the ozone depletion that was going to kill every living thing on Earth. Don't forget the original nutrition pyramid that has been changed. Egg yolks will kill you, also. Now they're a good source of protein. I know I'm missing some.
I don't trust scientists any more than I do politicians. They both develop a thesis or problem and then build models/solutions to prove it. Hell, I remember when the Universe would expand forever. Now they say it is on the verge of contracting. The dead String Theory is a good example. The physicists just couldn't work it out on their white boards. Now we have the Dark Matter theory.
Hold on just a minute here. Remember the truth of the Scientific Method, and Albert Einstein's statement that "It doesn't take a hundred signatures to prove me wrong. If I were wrong, it would only take one." Real Science tells us that in order for a theory to be valid, it must be disprovable.
Though one season's weather certainly doesn't prove or disprove anyone's climate theory, those so-called scientists who declared that "our children will never know the meaning of snow" certainly deserve the same ridicule as the Flat Earthers. Their hysterical interpretation of the catch-all "Climate Change" has certainly been proven WRONG.
The sun was once like the earth until the people that lived there foolishly allowed the concentration of CO2 to atmosphere to shoot past the safe 0.04% to the dangerous 0.05%, then one dude flicked a lighter to light a cigarette and BOOM a star was born
“ I don’t trust scientists any more than I do politicians”
Scientists are fine unless their research is funded by government grants from politicians with agendas that expect certain results with trillions of dollars depending upon those results
The article makes many good points but destroys its scientific integrity with this statement: “Wind and solar generate little or no electricity in cold conditions.” That is not a true statement. The solar part of that statement is not true and all, and the wind part of the statement is only true of “extreme” cold conditions, which for wind farms means somewhere around and/or below minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The only, and main effect that cold temperatures usually have on solar power is when the cold is accompanied by cloudy conditions as well.
I am not trying to defend the climate alarmists, but bad arguments attempting to counter the alarmists do not help.
