The TL;DR: Climate is essentially unaffected by CO2, the main culprits are the sun(sunspots) and water vapor(clouds) which is affected by galactic cosmic rays. In longer terms by the Milankovitch cycles(earth axial tilt and orbit variations). NASA, NOAA, et al have been repeatedly caught doctoring temperature data to fit their models, cooling the past and heating the present.

A whole lot of people are going to die because folks like you are too easily swayed by fossil fuel industry propaganda.

This thread is going to need to be locked, but I'm not going to let bat**** lies like this get told, and not have them called out.

The Dunning-Kruger is strong in this one.

I'd love to know what the purpose of this mad, Machiavellian hoax/conspiracy is. It's pretty easy to see the people getting ridiculously rich off the back of fossil fuels and reckless consumption, but the dastardly plot to control the world via LED bulbs and windfarms doesn't look too convincingly effective.

Are you even aware how massive the tax revenues are that are collected on this pretext? Or the profits made in the trade/speculation on carbon emission rights and other financial instruments.

Politicians don't want to explain to the masses that they've been fleecing them over nothing for decades. Investment bankers don't want to give up the golden goose.

How much corruption there is in green energy deals? Remember Solyndra? Those with connections can get lucrative government contracts. There is a lot of graft to go around.

That's besides those in politics who want to see a collapse of the present system so they can impose their ideological u(dys)topia.

In before the tinfoil hats are distributed and the thread is locked.
