Climate Change Debate

There’s no debate about climate change. Despite all the noisy rhetoric, there is no synthesis in the climate polemic. Activists aver mordicus any more carbon dioxide and it’s the end of the world as we know it. Anyone who so much as questions the data, logic or agenda of climate change is a denialist. Yet, to billions, climate is just what is, and they rather ride it out without anyone telling them how to live.

According to Dr. James Hansen, climate scientist:

Ocean rise will make the world ungovernable

We must make the climate stable or face dire economic consequences.

Is that what climate is really about? Continuity of government and economic growth? Isn’t that what got us here in the first place? Climate alarmism is the one area of agreement between corporate/government and the eco-left. Whereas most pollution is the fault of wanton industrialization, and lax government oversight, so-called carbon pollution is emitted by each and every person. NO ONE will be exempt from the carbon tax!

There are many clear and present man-made hazards much more immediately dangerous than the future prospect of altered climate: drugs in waterways, nanofibers, fracking, radio waves, genetic engineering, Fukushima, nuclear war, and many more. Climate change poses a threat to human culture only. All these other hazards pose a threat to life itself. Will we worry about weather when we’re dead?

George Monbiot speaks of “Climate breakdown” Does he mean the climate can break down and no longer function as a climate? What does post-climate Earth look like?

Earth’s climate has been changing for billions of years. Problem is: it’s been so nice out that nowadays there’s lots of people everywhere and no place to run to. Stopping climate change is absurd childish fantasy, a simplistic mind control meme. No one really believes that even if everyone stopped moving immediately the climate would somehow freeze frame at that moment, like clocks at Hiroshima. The forces driving climate are so enormous no human effort could ever control them, even if billions of people could be controlled enough to try it. Despite an available century of climate records, analysis of data set trends, and computer modeling, the fact remains: no one knows for certain if it will be hotter or colder 100 years from now. Without certain knowledge of future conditions, any global human effort to modify climate could be futile, or worse. This is a serious question the 350 Movement has never answered – Can climate be stopped or not?

Naomi Klein opines Climate change may be the kick in the pants we need to do things we need to do whether the climate is changing or not.

Does that mean she’s not sure about climate change either?

Meanwhile, well-meaning multitudes are mystified and manipulated by the fake data, faulty logic, and fascist agenda of climate activism. There are plenty of real reasons to reduce energy abuse. Stopping Earth’s climate changing is not one of them.

Turns bulbs off! Throw bums out!
