Interesting editorial from what I would call a 'Warm-ist'
To: major_gaff
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 suns 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?

Excellent assessment. I have made the same or simiar arguments for about 15 years.

The Twin Cities’ weather forecast for Saturday is for cold te4mperatures, cold enough to set a new records for cold on March 2nd.
In central Minnesota we have 24 inches of snow on the ground and some of that snow has been there for almost 2 months - we have not had a decent thaw since the New Year.

Yeah, well that's just weather.
In just a couple of months it will be noticeably warmer; that proves climate change is real.

It is not a save the planet agenda. It is a control agenda, or worse. I am 63, and so I have witnessed just about the entire modern environmental movement. It has gone from a few measures to rein in big industrial polluters to intricate regulations which effect individual citizens on a daily basis. Never once has the environmental movement said “OK, we have done enough.” Every measure is followed with immediate demands for more stringent measures. What is the end game? When will they be satisfied? And then off in the corner you overhear one of them mutter “If just the right virus would come along!”. I don't know about all of you, but I have a very bad feeling about where is is going.

“Is global warming real; or, more specifically, has the surface air temperature risen about 0.6°C (1.08°F) since the late 1800s? The answer also is YES, and on that there is little debate.
Do humans affect the Earths climate? Again, the answer is YES with little debate. We can point to the urban heat islandfor example, the Washington metropolitan area is warmer than the surrounding countryside due to the urban city and this has been widely studied. Because of impervious surfaces and the increased water demand of urbanized areas, floods and drought frequencies and intensities also are affected.”
Second answer negates the first one. Is the temp going up? we don’t really know because the thermometers are in the “heat islands” he talks about in the second argument.

I grew up in southern Minnesota, and remember that once it snowed (usually not later than November) we didn’t see the ground until April. And during the winter, the lake we lived by froze deep enough to support ice houses and vehicles.
And the last time I was in Minnesota (over 40 years ago), it was 30 degrees below zero. Don’t miss THAT at all!

Lesson for today: ....
You missed a big one. The core of the earth provides half of the earths heat due to nuclear reactions.

It is, and never has been, about climate change.
It has always been about system change....from capitalism to socialism.
It is about the wet dream of the Left, the Socialist Revolution.
Eliminate fossil fuels and you destroy the fuel of the free enterprise, capitalist system.
The fuel of socialism is big government. Which is exactly what all of this is about.
So yes, it is about control. Taking control of our government of, by and for the people and turning it into a system where the elites control the people.

The concentration of carbon dioxide FOLLOWS global temperatures. It does not precede them. The warmer the ocean gets, the less dissolved carbon dioxide it can support.

Very true. But the climate change hoaxers are threatening to interfere with the earth’s core yet, are they?
