maMOOT, that is one tough challenge.
How do we know that man made global warming does not exist.
Maybe because the solution, to increase manufacturing by heavy industry building millions of solar panels covering the earth by the square mile not only destroys Earth but increases that CO2 you claim we must eliminate
A good point, that
mamooth may not understand very well.
See Mamooth, there are really three questions that one should ask when discussing "global warming," or "climate change," or whatever name the profiteers come up with when that goes out of favor because the climate doesn't change any more than would be expected from nature. "Climate stagnation?" Whatever. There are three questions, and the third leads to a fourth, to wit:
1)
Is the Earth's climate changing? The answer is yes, of course. It always has and always will. Ice Ages, Little Ice Ages, etc.
Some examples include:
- 770 million years ago - Snowball Earth. ...
- 305 million years ago - Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse. ...
- 66 million years ago - Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. ...
- 55 million years ago – Permian-Eocene Thermal Maximum. ...
- 18,000 years ago – Glaciers begin to retreat and our modern landscape is revealed.
18,000 years? That's a mere moment in the history of Earth. But still well before the Industrial Revolution, the left's bogeyman said to be responsible for the planet's impending condition of uninhabitability.
2)
Is climate change caused by human activity, specifically industry? A laughable premise on its face, yet so may scientists believe it. Well, they can believe it and make sure their grants keep coming, but they have yet to provide any evidence that humanity can change the climate and
is changing the climate more than nature would anyway.
3)
Could humans somehow change the process of climate change, regardless of its cause? Very doubtful, and there is no evidence that I know of that they ever have. The proposals to change it amount to switching to renewable energy to avoid burning fossil fuels. Unless some as yet unknown source of fossil fuel is discovered, its finite nature ensures that the free market will impel that switch eventually. Any speeding up of that switch, any forcing the free market to abandon fossil fuel while it is still in plentiful supply will lead to human suffering, great and small. That is what always comes when the free market is interfered with.
3a)
How much suffering are we willing to allow the government to subject us to in the name of "stopping the climate from changing?"
If I'm wrong in my statements about lack of evidence, please present the evidence. The actual evidence, not your further assurance that "all the cool people agree," or whatever.
