How did the left convince so many people we face a climate catastrophe when climate change is at the bottom of the list of concerns for most UN nations? When did it become fashionable to accept temperature predictions 50 years from now? Just 10,000 years ago we had a 2-mile thick ice sheet over North America and only 200 years ago we came out of a Little Ice Age that had starved millions to death in Europe due to a lack of enough CO2 in the air to grow food. Those were real climate catastrophes.
How did mostly clean burning natural gas become equivilant to burning coal? Who says that the world’s optimal temperature should be 57°? It is an indisputable fact that far more people die from being too cold than too warm. How can we say the massive greening of the earth due to man’s CO2 emissions in the past 70 years is bad for the planet? The fact is man’s emissions are only a small part of the CO2 that once existed in the atmosphere. Could more CO2 in the air help help avoid another Little Ice Age?
The reality is that technology is well on its way to developing green energy that will be less costly and allow markets to drive out expensive fossil fuel energy. Meanwhile, we can enjoy a slightly warmer climate and greener planet and repurpose climate change money to help poor countries provide clean water, food, medical care and infrastructure.
Would anyone who flunked math in 3rd grade go up against a mathematician discussing for example LaPlace transformations? Probably not. But when it comes to science, or basic logic, - even the most challenged thinks his opinion is worth its salt.
Thank you, Mr. Kahl, for your letter. As usual, expect to be attacked by those who cannot explain how temperatures and carbon dioxide levels in the past were much higher than now, when automobiles and air conditioners didn’t exist. Unfortunately, we’ll get the usual willful ignorance of our past temperatures and the numerous Ice Ages we’ve encountered in our history, but never the opposite. You can lead some folks to knowledge and truth but you can’t force them to comprehend or accept it. Keep those letters coming.
98% of all scientists have agreed we are undergoing climate change. They have evidence of dramatic changes occurring from measurements of 200,000 years. Somehow, I can tender agreement over their learned findings over climate deniers of today.
Rel - please correct your assertion that 98% of all scientists agree? All scientists? No sir, only those who have subscribed to that garbage in, garbage out mathematical model. To be called a scientist in that group does not actually require one to be one. They can't even predict weather two weeks from now with any measure of accuracy, let alone 50 or 100 years. One does not have to be a denier to question the hype and the methodology. But, Rel, this is a free country and you can believe anything you want and so do I for that matter.

Lunacy. How do you even get by doing normal daily tasks? 💕🙌💕

Interesting how people who don't know the facts resort to ad hominem attacks.
Or write about things they have absolutely no knowledge of!
