So the “sane” are the morons who don’t see anything wrong with “scientists” who hide, alter, and destroy data, and who rig the peer review process through threats and intimidation. What idiots.
As far as I know, there were not a lot of human beings on the planet during the past Ice Ages, and subsequent “global warming” that took place afterwards. Must have been due to the carbon footprint of all the farting animals.
From the data that I have seen the earth’s temperature rose to a peak due to natural cause, got stuck about the time of the Agricultural Revolution, and trend broke above 3 deviations mark within the past two centuries. (chance of one event above 3 deviations is 0.15% or 3 every 2000 events. Trends are very rare). I suspect burning land and plowing fields were the start which increased with time countering the natural decline. Think it is hard for 500 politicans to agree, try 10,000 scientists.
Whether it’s true that global warming exist or not or what is causing it should not be the argument here. The point is we can not continue to pollute our planet and think there will be no consequences. We must find some way to keep the planet clean.
CO2 aside, how many BTUs, hard minerals, and petroleum or fossil fuels were involved in producing the computers we’re using right now, not to mention also electron flow generation? Now there are SEVEN BILLION people on the planet, so obviously they’ve had NO impact on ecosystems, or climate. Right.

I was going to say something; but it’s obvious the tree-huggers have their minds made up: Don’t confuse them with the facts.

Do a web search on “Kiribati” and how they’re planning to move the country’s population to Fiji due to rising tides.
