A light bulb goes on. It's a long read.

He would still avoid a hamburger (it's better for the environment), but happily "fly halfway around the world to take photos of [animals]", so the bulb is not on full brightness yet, but it's progress.

And all it took was a friend to "challenge his assumptions".

The writer is a complete putz. Here is a nugget:

"New research shows fluctuations in energy from the sun correlate very strongly with changes in earth’s temperature, better than CO2 levels."

He needed 400 hours of research to come up with this one? I don't think liberalism is a mental disease. However, liberalism does beat thinking.

I don’t know if all this guys claims about himself have an ounce of truth to them or not. His statement “I’m a vegan” and “I’m a democrat” really size him up enough for me.

Notwithstanding that comment though, his conclusion that “climate change” is bullshit is one I became in sync with about 30 minutes after I first heard the term years ago. And, I did not need one chart or one graph or one essay to conclude same. I knew, given the sources of the bs, that it was yet another plot by world wide liberals to squeeze MONEY out of the rest of us!!!

Global warming is a lie and scam of the left to deceive and indoctrinate peoples to fear where there is no fear and to destroy the rights and liberties given by God to mankind. And to make men slaves of evil government.

Damage figures will rise significantly as we build larger cities on the coasts and expensive buildings with sea views. Don’t be fooled by graphs showing rising damage figures — they are guaranteed!

I've been thinking that for years. A given storm will cause more damage (in monetary terms) next year that it would have caused today, because there will be more people in costlier houses next year.

The author is a fool, why should I care that some idiot finally realized what I have known since day one? 20 or so years ago I looked into “Global Warming” in my investigations I came across the fact that (at the time) the energy from the Sun is considered a constant. I immediately knew the models were BS and discounted the entire theory.

From the article:
Notice that temperature generally changes first, and CO2 changes some 800+ years later. ...This is called the temperature lag — an inconvenient truth for CO2-warming enthusiasts; it’s well known but not well understood. It could easily be a complex relationship, but CO2 changes do not initially cause historical temperature changes.
I know many people who refuse to accept the above. So sad some people can't think for themselves.

Common sense and empirical evidence has no effect on people whose main argument is “how could man NOT be responsible for climate change?”

Anyone that has read the steps of the Scientific method knows the last step is to reevaluate the data and procedures, adjust the model and such. Science has become a fantasy to manipulate people.

That’s a great ‘bookmark’ article to link to in comment sections and facebook pages where progressives roam on the internet.

This guy is one of their own - that realized the scam.
Starting his article off with being a professed Vegan and 2x Obama voter may push more moonbats to keep reading instead of screaming that it’s a warming-denier link.

I was at the checkout counter at my local pharmacy when the women behind the counter started talking about climate change.

She told me, out of the blue, that she had become very interested in it and had started reading all this scientific stuff and was very worried about it.

Obviously she was worried because she was talking to someone she had never seen before and all I wanted was to pay for my stuff and leave the store.

I quickly told her global warming was a “ crock of s..t” and to stop worrying about it because the sun was in control of warming and cooling and God was in control of the sun!

Tell your friend there is NOT enough CO2 I n the atmosphere to do ANYTHING regarding the climate- man’s contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere ma9unts to just 0.0036% of the atmosphere- Ask your friend to explain to you how just 0.0036% of the atmosphere can capture enough escaping heat to cause ANY kind of fluctuation In temperatures back on earth- especially when the piddly amount of heat captured by the CO2 only back radiates a fraction of the small amou8nt it captures (CO2 radiates the captured heat out in all directions- not just back towards earth- most of the heat captured goes right on out into space

Also explain to your friend that temperatures rise 800 to 1400 years BEFORE CO2 rises, so CO2 can’t possibly be the cause of warming

Also inform your frie4nd that temperatures have remained flat for 2 decades now despite rising CO2 levels- again, proving that CO2 does NOT cause warming

These 3 facts are enough to convince anyone that the claim that ‘man is almost entirely responsible for climate change’ is a colossal LIE-

The LIARS want everyone to believe there is this big thick blanket of CO2 encapsulating the earth where heat can not get past, and is ‘bounced back to earth’, and this is a major LIE. the atmosphere has only 0.0036% CO2 due to man- this means that either there are tiny little pockets of CO2 I nthe atmosphere while the rest of the atmosphere is free from CO2, OR that there is such a thin blanket of CO2 that it is IRRESPONSIBLE to suggest that it can capture enough heat to cause ANY kind of change at all
