But if the planet continues to cool like it has for at least 12 years, sooner or later the public will wake up and force the politicians to stop funding all this nonsense like we have been for more than 30 years. There have been hundreds of billions of dollars poured into this scam and that must stop.
Once the funding is cut, the Warmists can continue to screech all they want to. At least then I won't be paying for it.

It’s clear global warming/climate change is real. It’s equally clear the > current < warming cycle has been going on since the last ice age and that’s why the Sahara was grassland 10,000 years ago but is desert today + has been desert for centuries. The fact the current warming trend started long before there was any industry and when there were hardly any people is good evidence humans are not the cause. It also means humans are not the solution.
The Earth goes through constant climate change cycles and has done so throughout its history. The exact mechanism is not completely understood but appears to be related to solar activity and the axial tilt of the Earth as it orbits the sun - not human activity. Note that the Earth is apparently at the end of the current warming cycle and should begin cooling soon (“soon” in geological terms).
All of the carbon tax/carbon offset BS is just robbery or extortion disguised as science. Countries like China and India LOVED the idea of carbon taxes/carbon offsets – but only when they could pretend to be “undeveloped”. Once it was pointed out both are horrific polluters of > every type < they suddenly weren’t so keen on the idea. Only the global Left and countries like North Korea & Zimbabwe still love the idea of carbon taxes.
The Left loves the idea because they are dedicated to destroying the West in general and the USA in particular. Getting the developed world to wreck its own industrial base is something they want. Having the West simultaneously give free guilt-money to countries like North Korea & Zimbabwe would just make it better.
Unfortunately, scientific research has been compromised by the politics of the subject. The academic community leans far to the Left, so researchers who “prove” human-caused global warming (AGW) are rewarded with more grants, but researchers who don’t “prove” AGW find themselves cut off.
The politics of the issue are a problem because we really do need to understand how the Earth works so we can anticipate, predict, and adjust. We also need to reduce actual pollution that is poisoning our environment, and countries like China & India should not get a free ride.
What would be a good starting point is if the sceptics were able to produce any credible evidence that global warming wasn’t happening.
Instead what we get are sceptics repeating what they’ve been told to think by bloggers and biased media sources, rarely any science and rarely any comprehension of the subject.
Rather than posting something that amounts to nothing more than an abusive rant, could you provide some evidence to back up your claims. Real evidence that has credibility to it, not some pointless statement such as “how come it’s so cold…”.

EDIT:
You berate Just Wants To Know by saying “it's called Global Warming, not Australia Warming. jeesh. It's also called SUMMER” and yet you yourself are referencing the extreme cold. Well… it's called Global Warming, not American Warming. jeesh. It's also called WINTER. And you accuse other people of being stupid.
Trevor: I have said this before and a word to the wise is sufficient, but in your case it needs repetition.
The earth has cooled for over a decade.

Yet as you know, the CO2 level has gone up during this time. So scientifically, the Earth has proven your Al Gore style logic wrong. The earth has proven all your expensive Climate Models wrong. You absolutely can't get any more scientific than that. If you were a scientist, you would know things like that.
In direct answer to your question: The true scientists on this site are trying their hardest to lead these 'babes in the woods' out but their Marxist agendas keep sucking them back. I guess if your paycheck is contingent on a lie, you just have to keep lying. There is nothing else you can do.
Trevor has evolved (progressed?) back into Y/A! LMAO!!!
Mr. Over-Explanation has over-explained many things here at Y/A.
I've learned to understand "simple" mathematics simply because I majored into the subject in High School.
"Simple Math" along with intelligent scientific information from "free-market" scientists such as Richard Lindzen, Roy Spencer, John Christy, and the like, has brought a conclusion of "NOT GUILTY" when it comes to "accusing" CO2 increases as the "main culprit" of recent temperature increases that lasted until 1998. That's when average Global temperatures stopped rising.
Trevor - The evidence that was "supposedly" produced to make the claim of "Global Warming" was "supposedly" produced but was never substantiated in the first place. That's why Governments created the IP CC. The basis of the IP CC was to show CO2 caused "Global Warming". Right?
Al Gore was trying to substantiate the IP CC's findings recently by claiming that AGW was "unequivocal". Right?
Rising CO2 levels "do" require monitoring, but action that is based on temperature rises of the Earth is based solely on conjecture and political motivation.
How many millions of jobs will be lost simply due to the realization of the fact that CO2 does not drive atmospheric forces of nature and only helps it?
Global Warming ended in 2012 and all seasons returned to normal naturally like it was in the 1970's before Global Warming, so get used to it. Mike
Credible evidence that global warming has failed, is the pause in warming while CO2 levels continue to escalate.
If there was any truth to CO2 causing dangerous warming, then global temperatures should be escalating too.
Check out the record breaking high temperatures in Australia.
All you have to is provide a viable scientific alternative, you can't do that and name calling isn't going to stop you from being wrong
obviously extreme cold isn't going to do it.. If we went into a mini ice-age, the political movement would attribute it to Global Warming, and the believers would continue to believe, as well. How are they ever going let go of this insidious lie? Will they have to die stupid in the forest?
