The politicization of "anthropogenic climate change" has made objective evaluation both difficult and dangerous. There are two "realities"; the political reality and the physical reality. The political reality is that AGW provides a political tool of nearly unrivaled potency. Few things concentrate the mind like the threat of global annihilation. As a result AGW has all of the hallmarks of a religion. The premise must be accepted on faith rather than evidence that can be evaluated dispassionately. Driven by dogma the conclusion is reached before investigation. AGW zealots have the "luxury" of knowing the answer before the question is asked.

Untold trillions of dollars have been spent on this hoax. It's time to trump the EPA and give their budget back to the people who it was stolen from. As for what was spent under Obama - I'd be thrilled to see the people who got the money (Al Gore) be forced to pay for the removal of all these ugly windmills from our country side.

Great points
The ice volume measurements in the models are wrong and sea level rise is less than a meter.
The forest cover in the models is wrong and there is significantly more forest than the models allow for.
The growth rate of trees increases faster in rising Co2 than the models predict.
Finally climate scientists don't know biology and all species over 50,000 years old have the DNA information for adapting to increased heat and CO2 in their genes.
Coral reefs have survived 300' increase in sea level rise in 22,000 years.
The Climate freaks are destroying science in their attempt to fund it to achieve political objectives.
Where I live needs warming to continue so we can get to two hay crops a year and sustainable agriculture. Cant eat rocks.

Will we ever stop messing with the earth. The influence we have on climate as well as anything else related to our planet is so minor as to be nonexistent. Our egos are as big as the ant who refrained from raping the elephant because he didn't want to hurt her.

It is amusing that these 'scientists' claim they can accurately predict how the climate will react when they haven't gotten it right yet. In the seventies we were told by the nineties Earth would be a frozen wasteland, In the eighties we were assured that by 2000 it would be an inferno. Well, what happened? The meteorologists have a poor track record on the five day forecast, tomorrow is iffy, and today I look out the window to see the bright sunny day obscured by the deluge of rain! I f they can't get the short term correct why should we believe they can do any better in the long term.

Obviously those guys didn't get The Memo. I predict much weeping and gnashing of teeth at the Climatic Research Unit in Norwich, England, UK. The leak of their shameless Saul Alinsky antics was bad enough. This they'll never be able to explain away.

That warming spike, which didn't really break any records in the past, was called a recurring cycle named El'nino!...daaaaaaaaaaaaa.

But their faux warming fits perfectly with progressive speak...meaning just the opposite of what is really going on.

The looters like the drawing board they have regardless of the evidence. Don't expect them to change.

Even years ago, radio talk personality Don Imus, was pointing out the ridiculous placement of temperature meters aimed at proving global warming. He said they were in brick courtyards in NYC, and on runways where jet exhaust hit them, and more. He knew it was an attempt to reach a predetermined conclusion, no matter how they had to manipulate the data. He knew, as many of us did, that the coal was control, not saving the planet from anything. Follow the money, see what bought and paid for scientists fudged their reports to get grants.Look at what undereducated idiots were screaming global warming, whied bilking the public for millions in the name of stopping what did nto exist. Al Gore come to mind?

I look forward to real science again, and some "never mind" political speak.

So here is a video of a guy prediciting the 2017-2018 winter, and at least he uses logic, known properties like El Nino/La Nina and prior data for similar events. Also, I noted that his charts seemed to be in roughly 11 year-12 year cycles, maybe sunspot related?
