This is a question for those who have posted negations on climate change. I won't say climate change deniers because I don't know where you all stand.

So my question....

Do you no believe that there is NO climate change? or that the cause is not strictly human? or that the change is not going to kill of mankind?

I'm curious on where you all stand on this issue and didn't want to hijack current thread.

I believe that the manmade changes, if any, have yet to be proven. Climate is always changing and has always changed. The effect man has on it, IMHO, is negligible.

Also, there seems to be a lot of $$$ tied up in the theory. And a lot of people who are pushing it seem to be expecting other people to do the dirty work and bear the cost of the aledged fixes.

That being said, I think we should be avoiding polution and reducing our energy use as most of it is finite and will run out eventually. But none of this has anything to do with global warming.

Human activity is the main driver at present but the scope of damage is still under scrutiny.

As for policy, that is a question that will be resolved once all governments can agree on one.

It is silly to think electronic bank transfers will keep a climate from remaining constant.

yeah, that is weird.

I should have phrased my question with "for the worst"


Do you think Man has had any influence on the current climate change?

I think many people (myself included) lump climate change, pollution, over population, etc all under a single umbrella.

So, what do you think is causing people to panic? Is it fear mongering? for control or intentionally diverting attention from something else?

What about the things that they claim are increasing, caused by, climate change?

Yup... it is fear mongering. Trillions of dollars are at stake. Groups and so called developing nations want a huge influx of cash from western industries and so called developed nations.

Wealth distribution bud... that's what this is about and that is all this is about.

Thanks for answering my questions Eagle.

Do you think there is a time when we all see this clearly? in our lifetime maybe? Do you think something could happen that would show this as what is happening?

I believe in climate change. I believe the world is getting cooler, and has been since 1997 as the Met Office proved (stats which the Warmists have ignored).

To be fair, righties have been lining their pockets for decades with "defence" spending, and have been making a killing for the last decade in "security," "keeping us safe."

Only fair the lefties should get their snouts into the fear-mongering trough.
