In the 1970s, Americans were told we were in a global cooling crisis and if something wasn’t done, we’d enter a new ice age.
When that didn’t happen, a few decades later we were told that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend was not reversed by the year 2000.
Despite the consistent failure of these apocalyptic warnings, that hasn’t stopped climate change alarmism.
We’re now being told we only have 12 years to combat climate change, and the solution is to fundamentally dismantle the system of free enterprise. That means Washington controls things like how we produce our energy, what food we eat, and what type of cars we drive.
The question is, even if we believed their alarmist, catastrophic predictions, would their proposals work?
Not according to the climate scientists’ own models. Based on those models, even if the United States cut its carbon dioxide emissions to zero, it would only avert global warming by a few tenths of a degree Celsius—in 80 years.
We would see no noticeable difference in the climate, yet it would come at an enormous cost to the American people.
Climate change is happening, and human activity undoubtedly plays a role, but big-government climate policies are all economic pain, no environmental gain.
After all, the purpose of climate change regulations is to drive energy prices higher so families and businesses use less energy.

The climate of the earth has been changing since the beginning of time....whenever that was. And it will keep changing. Mix those facts with stupidity and ignorance and you have a tool for the radical left.

Obviously he didn’t get the memo about the lack of Sunspots over the last few years and we are soon going to feel the effects of the upcoming Maunder Minimum set to last for 30 some odd years.
What is the answer for a problem that exists only in the minds of “True Believers”?
AOC knows that ‘climate change’ is the key to pushing socialism on the public. She’s even said so.
the answer to climate change is to do nothing! Sit back and wait- it will go the other way all on it’s own, then back again, then back the other way again- hence the term ‘climate change’
‘AOC knows that ‘climate change’ is the key to pushing socialism on the public.’
yep...religions and governments have been employing subterfuge, trickery, and phony concerns to exert control over people for as long as religion and government has been happening...
Big Government is the REASON for “Climate Change”.

If accept man-made global warming as real and significant, we lose the war. Market solutions to a nonexistent problem will still needlessly reduce living standards.
It’s real. It’s insignificant.
