Its a religion.......in religion logical contradictions pose no problems.

Climate has changed over the years many time during the life of the earth. I am not surprised it is changing again, and most likely for reasons much more significant than that people are doing. The very fact government is pushing for regulations and taxes makes me think their 'solution' is worse than the problem.

Check out Mark Steyn's latest two compilations on climate change idiocy. The hockey stick guru, Michael Mann, is suing Steyn for expressing his opinion about the quackery involved.
Or, you could just jump aboard the bandwagon for the New World Order, and turn over all power to world government, which will soon have a new leader, Barack Obama. See, Big Brother really is smiling!

I read as far as the middle of paragraph 2 where these "phony" climatologists say the sea level will rise 10 feet. NONSENSE!
The climate is getting colder and that is as a direct result of a 206 year cycle of no activity on/from the sun. summers are some what cooler than in previous years and winters are significantly colder. The old farmers almanac is predicting the coming winter will be colder than the last and therefore longer. Their prediction last year was that it would be colder than the year before, and it was.
This cycle will last for the next 20 to 30 years and then we will see a return to a warmer climate if one is still alive. Me probably not unless I live beyond 100 and know about it.
The politicians have made this a political conversation and like all political conversations from politicians be weary wear waders and carry a shovel.

Yes, of course. If we're past the point of no return, nothing we do will make any difference.

Remember also: those same "climate scientists" have a legacy of falsification of data they have not adequately dealt with. Michael Mann, for one, has a nasty reputation among real scientists: that he will not accept criticism and that he will offer a thesis with flawed, if not outright false, data to back it. And that's what he did this time.

Remember "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to the [proxy] series to hide the decline"? The "Mike" is Michael Mann. The author of that incriminating quote is Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. Which is the British equivalent of NASA.

Very few "climate change" alarmists have any respect from me. James Hansen is probably the only one. Not that he convinced me he has any better data than Michael Mann and Phil Jones had. But because he proposed a solution that actually might be practical--expansion of nuclear energy--instead of the "decivilization" others consistently propose.

Stop using so much gas! Stop using so much electricity! Stop using so much water! Stop using so much! Start being modest! Drive a Prius! Turn the AC to 80F! Water your lawn twice a week!

Yes, do all of these things, and you will be the chosen of the new revolution. The less you use, the more sustainable you become. That is, until you stop driving to work. That is, until your productivity is at 60% in your green office. That is, until you stop showering or your dirt yard destroys your homes resale value.

What is the funniest thing about all this? That each of the commodities listed above are government controlled besides the price of gas (at least directly). So no, until US nationalizes oil, we have not reached the point of no return.

Five things you can do today: (1) Purchase stock in American oil and gas companies, (2) purchase or continue to drive a vehicle and demand the government not meddle in regulations affecting the price of gas, (3) understand that real science is not equal to empiricism, (4) understand that climate change is meant to induce guilt more than it is meant to help the environment, and (5) if you want to drive a sports car to pick up whole ribeye and bottled water, then do it, and PAY.

Hello dbhalling,
It would be funny if it wasn't so serious... In both the ignorance of the contradiction and the implications of their dubious policies which have the force of much government behind them.
Respectfully,
O.A.

Dale, Dale, Dale,

Logic and the left are aliens from different planets

Many people believe in Bigfoot, too.

They said that about "Rock & Roll" in the '50s, the "Hippies and War" in the 60s, "Global Cooling and the coming Ice Age" in the 70s, "Ozone Depletion" in the 80's, "Global Warming" in the 90s, and now "Climate Change" until the next phase comes along.

To quote a old radio announcer "Whats this world coming to."

They do in many people's minds

Exactly

If we hit the point of no return then what difference does it make? I don't sell trees but I sell perennials and some shrubs. I need to market some as Global Warming Fighters. Might as well make some money off these whackos.

Contradictions do not exist.

Unfortunately, Climate Change has reached the point of no return.

Of course, when I say "Climate Change", I am not referring to the claims of today's federal grant chasing Neo-Lysenkoists, but rather the globalists strategy to impose a de facto world government through the imposition of a worldwide carbon tax.

They will not stop until they are stopped.
And the will to stop them does yet not exist in the strength required.

So, yes, I agree: Climate Change has reached the "Point of No Return".

Sorry, no time to help.
It's urgent that I drive (my internal combustion sports car) to pick up some whole Ribeyes and lots of bottled water.
