There is no global warming.
Wanna ease crop damage? Eliminate
daylight savings time. Farmers complain
the extra hour of daylight is burning up their crops.
Idiots starting with a false premise moving on to blindly create a disaster of their own making. What jackasses.
In 20-80,000 years the ice on the Great Lakes will, again, be a mile thick.
Our climate is mainly controlled by the Sun, it's energy output, which fluctuates and Earth's orbit around it, along with the tilt of Earth's axis.(See Milankovitch Cycles).
No amount of money or regulation will have any effect on these.
CO2 is a trace gas in our atmosphere, making up a tiny fraction of 1%.
Of that fraction of 1% human activity accounts for 2%.
It is also necessary for life on Earth.
In the past, before humans were around, the climate was hotter and it was colder.
The amount of CO2 was greater and less.
How wiil taking my money, reducing my standard of living and retarding the development of poor countries affect any of this?
Primarily from fossil, and other activities, man has increased the CO2 from 280ppm to over 400ppm. The rise is 2-3 ppm per year and that rise is certainly not caused by any natural process.
The amount of CO2 was greater and less.
That's true, but CO2 was never less than the most recent ice age. There, at about 180 ppm, the lowest in earth's history, we risked widespread reductions and extinctions of plant and animal life. Manmade CO2 is a boon to the planet and the modest warming that it causes is a benefit to nearly every plant and animal.

It won’t, of course. But it advances the Marxist globalist agenda.
Cosmo Kramer always comes up with good ideas!
Make and bake your own pizza, for example!
Perfect weather for ice fishing. Should be some nice-sized pike or bluegill.
very easy way to stop this warming trend :
STOP taking/using/quoting measurements ONLY in the middle of cities which now are larger and more covered in asphalt and concrete than ever before.
Cherrypicking data is not Scientific - its Fraud
One day the betrayers will face the music for their lies
Yes. Better for crops!
Who said temps just before the Industrial Revolution were optimum?
The time before the Industrial Revolution coincided with the Little Ice Age. Temperatures were certainly below optimum. The most optimum temperatures occurred about 5000 years ago. Consistent warmer temperatures allowed farming and fixed settlements. Temperatures in the colder parts of the northern hemisphere e.g. northern Canada, were as much as 5C warmer than the present.
In fairness those will be here very soon, FCC has approved some already, not that I would get in one.
Plus most chemical reactions (like plants use to grow) occur faster with warmer temperatures, at least until the heat becomes too intense & damages the plant. A general rule of thumb is that a given reaction rate approximately doubles with each 10°C (18°F) rise in temperature.
I know my grass grows faster when it is warm.
I Love it!
Rock on abclily!
