Actually the science is not sound and there is still no proof that we are the primary agent of warming! I get that you want to go with the "crowd" but there are still those of us who actually believe that the science is politicized and not actual "science". The Al Gore's of the world simply see this as money in their pockets (he's a billionaire now when he wasn't even a millionaire before). How did that happen? Someone is ensuring that this propaganda is moving forward whether we like it or not.


I am NOT convinced that we are (overly) causing climate change or global warming and I do not want to pay a penny more for someone else to pocket and not have ANYTHING change as in the last 20+ years. I'm tired of OTHER people getting rich off of my hard work.


I might change my perspective if there had been any improvement over the last few years but all I see is rich people getting richer and us poor suckers doling it out! As far as I see it, its a scam and you've fallen for it BIG TIME!


JMHO

Pathetic. And the alarmists are making excuses for China about this as well. They are burning more coal than ever. Their coal use will increase even more. But the alarmists are afraid of China.

The only people making excuses for China are free traders.

I wonder why Flossy can't explain how the Swedish model will work on a Canadian scale.
It only a computer model and those have been 100% reliable so far, that's why they can't explain the almost 20 years of no warming even though all computer models said we'd be dead by now from heat stroke.

You want by any means to prove there is no global warmth, while it is a rule that the temperature is increasing. Anyhow, in my country it is becoming hot more and more.
So till today: November 10, people still wear the summer wear. While in my childhood, it was much colder and people at this time wear the winter wear.

Yeah, we can see it is just a-crackling with little lightning bolts. No wonder people do not want to go near it.

Al Gore optimistic about stopping global warming

But he said it’s no longer just about convincing people to act — it now makes sense economically, too. He says solar and wind energy is dirt cheap — even free in Texas at certain hours. Businesses and developing countries are taking climate change seriously, he said.

“There really is a wave in corporate America moving rapidly toward a low carbon economy,” Gore said.

So how are those solar powered private Leer jets coming along? Hey maybe Neil Young will drive his battery powered caddy to Paris. Will there be protests about the number of electrons killed powering that beast?

Can't kill electrons.
