With that knowledge, I'm not sure why so many still harp on anthropogenic warming. Sure, we all want to have the cleanest environment possible, but to hobble enterprise based on suppositions is, at best, bad science (you DO know that the official line now is to NOT refer to 'global warming' but, instead, to 'climate change' as 'global warming' becomes increasingly suspect), and at worst, dangerous in that it can and will create a false and potentially devastating response. And these potentially devastating responses run the gamut: devastating taxes that overwhelmingly burden the poor and discourage business, along with devastating environmental 'solutions' (talk of introducing more heat tolerant zoozenthella to suffering reef environments, for example. We all know, via the lowly mongoose, how the introduction of one species to 'solve' a problem usually leads to a whole new set of even larger problems). Add to all of that that these 'scientists' can't even forecast the next days' weather, let alone what the global climate is up to. Also might note that anthropogenic global warming is not embraced by much of the scientific community but is hugely leveraged by Goldman Sachs, GE and Al Gore, just to name a few.Jonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218898467283402573noreply@blogger.com
