One can accept that the greenhouse effect is real but still conclude that most proposals made to combat climate change are not remotely worth the cost.

The greenhouse gas theory is all hot air.

The only thing that determines the temperature on earth is the source of all heat, THE SUN!

Simply posit these to the ‘climagddonists”:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

We’ll wait.............

CO2 exists in our atmosphere as a trace gas in part per million levels. To maintain that the entire planet’s climate is driven primarily by part per million changes of a single trace gas is borders on absurdity. Certainly the sun whose output of heat energy to the earth varies has far more effect. The tilt of earths axis relative to the sun and causes our four seasons has a measurable wobble which can certainly effect climate. The theory that the greenhouse effect of variations in CO2 levels changes climate cannot explain the three ice ages where the entire northern hemisphere was covered by mile thick glaciers nor the ending of those ice ages. The theory cannot explain the Medieval warming period nor the so called little ice age from roughly 1300-1850. This is not to say that we should not look to cleaner energy options, but the climate alarmist are pushing us to rely on wind and solar technologies that are neither reliable nor environmentally neutral.

My lord. Carbon dioxide is a minor influence and a good one at that

The Green movement is a communist effort to destroy wealth

The last actual climate change was 10,800 BC, with the extinction of the Mega Fauna and the onset of the Younger Dryas Event lasting 1000 years.

The author has bought into the need for a costly solution looking for a problem.

Here's some climate change realism:

Or for any reason.
