some things I never hear anyone talk about, but are worth noting:
1. Climate has changed many times over the eons of earth’s history. There have been numerous ice ages in earth’s history. During the last ice age, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice. How did all that ice melt, except for a period of warming and changing climate patterns then?
2. Even if we say there is climate change, we don’t know how much is due to man, vs. how much is due to natural climate cycles which we don’t fully understand in the first place.
3. And to the extent that natural cycles are happening, we can’t control those cycles.
4. Even if we say there is global warming, is that necessarily a negative thing?. For example, the midwest is a fertile productive agricultural region. Yet they also have severe winters there. That area could be more productive with some warming and a longer growing season. That could actually be a benefit of global warming, right?
5. Even if we say there are rising sea levels, these changes will happen over periods of many decades, which will give us all plenty of time to plan and get out of the way. New York, Boston, Miami, LA, New Orleans, any coastal city, will not flood away overnight. If indeed sea levels rise, we will adapt and get out of the way. Man is not going to go extinct if indeed sea levels are going to rise.
1. What is the ideal temperature of the planet? Where and how should that be measured?
2. What is the ideal sea level? Where and how should that be measured?
3. A topical question--since hurricanes have always occurred, as far back as anyone who recorded such things can remember, what is the ideal number of hurricanes in any given year? How "intense" may they be before they're considered, "extremely intense?"
4. How much snowfall should we receive, on average?
5. What is the ideal "climate," and how can we ensure that occurs?
I forget who exactly said it, but they alluded to the taxes that liberals want to impose as not so much controlling the climate, but diverting wealth from more productive nations to less productive ones. It's all about re-distribution of wealth. If they happen to effect the climate (almost zero chance of doing that), more power to them.
We must fight these evil global taxes with every fiber of our being. Once they're imposed, there won't be any going backwards.
