OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“The outcome will depend on this current phase and our ability to invest dramatically more money in clean and green energy quickly, thereby developing a new era of climate infrastructure.”

As always, follow the money.

Phase three, institute confiscatory taxes to redistribute wealth to corrupt politicians.

Is it to much to ask that this guy share whatever he is smoking with the rest of us, it appears to be pretty damned strong.

The advocates of the “climate change” policy hyperbole they spout do not even know the actual science behind what they think “must be done”, and if done will change climate directions.

The facts are that the most stringent policy recommendations advocated will not have ANY material affect on climate for somewhere between 100 and 200 years. Why?

The “science” of the climate alarmists admit that one of their essential climate analysis says that one of the essential problems is how long a significant amount of CO2 remains in the atmosphere after it gets there - can be hundreds of years. Therefor human reductions in CO2 emissions now will not reduce how much CO2 continues to build up in the atmosphere until the “shelf life” of CO2 already in the atmosphere (& continuing to be added) begins to run out.

How would human efforts be more economically spent, than “taxing CO2” for instance? It would be more economical to spend our resources and technology to provide many different means, at many different levels, to mitigate and adjust to “climate change”. And that”climate change” itself will be providing an economic boost from which that investment can be made. Why? It is more costly and more essential to human life and survival to mitigate against cold than it is to mitigate against heat. Just look at where the most people in the world live and ask yourself why. Cooling ourselves to the extent essential is cheaper than heating to the extent it is essential.

We ARE winning the climate war now that the Trump administration is in office and the alarmists are losing.

Phase One was led by the scientists, who conducted the research demonstrating that man-made changes to the environment could be catastrophic.

With the science clear,

Did you notice how one sentence said that the changes could be catastrophic, and then in the very next sentence they said the science is clear? It certainly didn't escape my notice.

Not this crap again. Sheesh. At some point, the cult has to STOP trying to grab money.

Phase Three in the climate war is well underway, but we must expand the financial commitments to it in every way possible as quickly as possible. Now is the time. We cannot wait.

Any salesman who says anything like this to me, it's a red flag and I immediately get up and walk away. It's a bad deal.

What do we do when Earth is working against us? The Iceland volcano shows Mama Earth is not in a cooperative mood and refuses to reduce her carbon footprint! Tons of ash and CO2 could be spewed into the atmosphere, without regard to Paris Accords or any other pollution regulations!!! As with Al Gore, time to lead by example Mama “Gaia” Earth!

Phase Three in the climate war is well underway

In which phase will the movement for the first time share the scientific evidence that supports their assertion?

Because they have money that can be stolen from them to provide to the politically correct scammers from the cult of AGW.

Invest? More like recklessly spend for no gain.

Cost is an excellent non-political measurement of the real total energy consumption and pollution required to make, distribute, and market. A lower cost indicates more greenness, the real kind. If a business can produce a product cheaper than their competitors, they are almost always using less energy to do so. The free market automatically seeks the greenest solution. Government interference distorts the market resulting in waste.

The single biggest way to reduce energy consumption is to stop the massive importation of third worlders into the first world where their total energy consumption increases by a factor of 10. As robotics takes off in all directions we no longer need the bio-robots anymore.

Climate change is natural; it’s been occurring for billions of years without us. The left’s “war on climate change” is really a war against nature. You can also see by the way they want to redefine genders that were assigned by nature. Everything about God’s plan is bothers them.
