But next year the climate changers will say we have to stop climate change so the oceans don't dry up. Can't you hear it?

1975: ALARM! ALARM! The earth is cooling and we're headed straight into a new ice age and New York City will be under 200 feet of ice by 2000 and it's all your fault so your rights have to be restricted and you have to be taxed more to combat it.

1995: ALARM ! ALARM! The earth is heating and the polar caps will melt and New York City will be under 200 feet of water by 2015 and it's all your fault so your rights have to be restricted and you have to be taxed more to combat it.

2010: ALARM! ALARM! There's climate change going on and we really don't know what the hell it's going to do, but whatever it is it's all your fault and your rights have to be restricted and you have to be taxed more to combat it.

Keep in mind the multi-billion dollar taxpayer funded weather forecasting system can't get next week correct consistently, so why in hell do I have to believe a handful of over granted academicians in whatever they prognosticate and pontificate about weather decades from now?

There are far to many alarmists in the argument about the climate, most driven by fame and endowments, all seeking power and control. Climate change is a natural occurrence on every planet. Climate change is absolutely nothing new and its would occur if man wasn't here at all. You don't falsify data to make your case. You don't sell carbon credits to save the planet, only fleece the gullible. You do those things to dupe th emasses into ceding control of their live while making you and others micheal moore fat and slovenly wealthy - this century's snake oil salesmen.

There is no doubt if the oceans dropped .001 when widespread desalination was in use the alarm would be "global cooling", that the next great ice age fast approaches... followed by, PAY ME to instruct on how to stop it and chance your lives as I say so.

50 years of predictable behavior from the eco-leftists and not a damn thing to show but billions of dollar making those alarmist, those at the top of course, gore-y with wealth.

The weather does change over centuries. It always has. The important questions are (1) is it likely to be harmful to man or to any species that man depends on, and if yes, (2) are the huge lifestyle changes that the environmental movement demands of us likely to be the most cost-effective way of solving the problem?

There is zero credible evidence that either of the answers is likely to be yes. So shut up, Chicken Little.

" The evidence shows greenhouse gases are changing the climate"
There is no evidence that there is such a phenomenon as the so-called Greenhouse effect let alone that it changes the climate. Changes in global temperature, a tricky concept, need careful analysis as data have been manipulated by government agencies of several nations so as to purport to show increases. (1). Whatever evidence is available shows no correlation, CO2 is rising, global temperatures have plateaued and probably declining. Data from geological records suggest CO2 follows temperature by some 800 years.
The volume of money (2) behind so-called climate change is not evidence for it but for venality. It is an alliance of the power hungry- governments, the venal-the institutions and looters, and the sheep of the new religion- that is what it is.
The evil from religious delusions knows no bounds. (3)

(3) "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Come on CG. You seem way to inteligent to still believe these lies. When I was in high school the buzz word was global cooling. It had been cold and snowy for a few years. In 1988 there was a bad drought and soon after the narrative changed to global warming. I even bought into it for a ittle while. They were throwing out all the scary stuff that was going to happen if we didn't change our ways. But there was just too many inconsistenties in what they were saying. For one, every time there was a record temperature day it was breaking a record from the 1800's. That didn't make sense with the data that was being spread. And now the word of the day is climate change. This if for 2 reasons. First all the scary stuff they said that was going to happen did not happen. None of it. Second, now they can use every single weather event to scare gullable people into sending more money to the government and pit people against those mean rich people. Another way to cause devision in society. This is a move right out of "Rules for Radicals".
