Always love the cartons that paint people as unreasonable….because everyone knows “science is settled” and all.
There is no doubt the climate is changing. Has changed many many times in the past.
But isn’t it a little bit of hubris to think that Mankind is having a greater impact on the climate of an entire planet, then say something like solar activity?
I would be more likely to buy into the man caused climate change if not for a couple of factors.
A.) Temperature readings in the past are based on proxies not actual measurement. Like the tree ring samples where a sample of 12 were picked to show cooler temperatures but a large set of 34 which indicated hotter temperatures at the time were ignored.
And c.) computer models that require more than a smidgeon of ‘fudge’ factor in order to produce the desired results. Scientists can not even get tomorrow’s weather down accurately all the time; yet we are supposed to believe computer models that predict out 40 and 50 years?

B.) Scientists blatantly manipulating evidence “the hockey stick graph” for example

Personally, I do not trust the so-called ‘experts”….most think tanks have the conclusion they want and build a case to prove it…..
