I'm going to need an avalanche of evidence to persuade me that the climate is not changing. In my old job, I used to do daily environmental monitoring. I could check the records going back 30yrs and there was an undeniable gradual increase in temperature. It's real, or I'm lying to myself. - ThreadSky

Carl Segan said this in 1996. I think it can apply to Covid, climate change and other things. People need to be skeptical.

I think trying to lower CO2 is a good thing, why not. But spending trillions of dollars with no guarantee it will even help at all is not a good idea. Cure cancer. Feed the hungry people of the world. Make medicine free for all with all that money. Clean the drinking water etc.

And if the USA did get to zero carbon emissions, and spend 10 trillion dollars or more doing it somehow, they would have lowered the world's human CO2 emissions by 14%. Would that even do anything? Probably not. But spending even 1 trillion helping people now, saving lives would be better.

And they don't seem to care much about cleaning the oceans, the other pollution in the air (which is more harmful to human health right now), or getting rid of terrible chemicals, protecting the bees from the Round Up chemical etc. This they can scare people with to get the $ and power they want.

My beef about the climate change agenda is that they are using it to tax people (which only hurts the poor and middle class), and they are using it as an excuse to print money to address it. In the USA they are talking 10-20 trillion. That is crazy. That will cause massive inflation & hurt the poor

They tell us CO2 causes warming. But the ice cores tell us a completely different story about CO2 and temperature rises. The opposite story actually.

Everything I have looked up shows the Earth has substantially greened. Trees remove CO2. There is a cycle at play here that happens with or without humans. Maybe humans are creating a lot of CO2 and there is some temporary warming. But who's to say the greening won't end up balancing it out?

There is so much they don't know. They can make models and try to guess or predict stuff. But they have been wrong so many times. Acid rain. The ice age they predicted in the 70s. Ok CO2 is rising. Man is partially responsible for that I agree. What if having more CO2, the Earth greens?

How much of it is from the sun cycles? How much of it is from the difference is distance of the sun and Earth that always changes. The Earth's temperature and CO2 and climate has gone up and down forever even without human contribution. Do they know what made it do that? They don't.

Well, the climate is changing. Most people agree on that. Even climate deniers. The Earth has been warming. And the Earth is billions of years old, 30 years in the tiniest of blips in the history of the Earth. How much did the climate change because of Mount St. Helen's explosion. Anyone know?
