17 often-asked questions with CORRECT & straightforward answers.

1. Climate change? Global warming? What do we call it?
How about “mass hysteria”?, as climate always changes and is therefore non-specific, and there’s been no significant global warming in 14+ years.

2. How much is the Earth heating up?
Much less than pseudo-scientists predicted. When compared to Earth’s temperature history, we’re still well below average, as we continue the emergence from the “Little Ice Age”.

3. What is the greenhouse effect?
It’s a scare-mongering term meant to fool useful idiots into blindly supporting politicians that worship at the alter of climate change.

4. How do we know humans are responsible for the increase in carbon dioxide?
We don’t, but nothing like a good guilt-trip to get impressionable young people into the militant ranks of the socialist-parties around the globe. (and don’t get me started on the disconnect between carbon dioxide levels and historical working periods.)

5. Could natural factors be the cause of the warming?
Yes, they are almost certainly responsible for the vast majority of all warming that is occurring.

6. Why do people deny the science of climate change?
It really is the great unknown as to why so many Dem/socialists ignore the science that IS there, and present theory as scientific fact. Cognitive dissonance seems the most likely explanation.

7. How much trouble are we in?
Trick question! As a people and a planet? We’re in trouble only to the extent we continue to elect socialist politicians promoting a climate-change agenda to enact their new world order, and extinguish the fire of capitalism.

8. How much should I worry about climate change affecting me? That can only be answered at an individual level. For example, do you have other irrational fears, such as being killed by an asteroid?

9. How much will the seas rise?
In our lifetime, plus the lifetimes of our children’s, children’s, children, a nearly imperceptible amount. We still have a VERY long way before the oceans are once again in Death Valley, California or the Jersey pine-barrens.

10. Is recent crazy weather tied to climate change?
Another trick questions! ALL weather is related to climate. The climate is always changing. Ergo, the recent weather IS related to climate changes. But that doesn’t make it “crazy”.

11. Are there any realistic solutions?
Yes - stop electing these irrational fear mongers, and stop subscribing to the NY Times. Eventually they’ll die off, like the dinosaurs.

12. What is the Paris Agreement?
It’s an agreement among many of the world’s nations to retard the strength and growth of the USA by making us adhere to requirements that they themselves aren’t required to, or don’t intend to adhere to. It does this while ignoring the most populous nations that are also the worst polluters (e.g. - China, India, Russia). Think of it as an Olympic committee that expects Michael Phelps to swim with ankle-weights, while the other athletes get scuba fins - that we pay for.

13. Does clean energy help or hurt the economy?
To the extent it is more costly than alternatives, as used by our global economic competitors, it is hurtful. All else being equal, of course clean energy sources are preferred over less clean sources.

14. What about fracking or ‘clean coal’?
Energy requires an “all of the above” strategy, if for no other reason than diversification.

15. What’s the latest with electric cars?
Cute little things, aren’t they? Let me know when that all-electric plane or 18-wheeler is successful.

16. What are carbon taxes, carbon trading?
Wealth transfer from the successful, capitalist, and free societies to failed socialist and quasi-socialist nations and causes.

17. Climate change seems so overwhelming. What can I do about it? Turn off ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/PBS, cancel your subscriptions to NYT, New Yorker, Mother Jones, WaPo, and stay away from popular social-media sites like Facebook, where there are way more sheep than shepherds. You’ll feel better in no time!
