MY VIEW-I find it interesting that GLOBAL WARMING has morphed into CLIMATE CHANGE. Climate has and always will change over time. Roughly 45 years ago the issue was global cooling. We did not have Al Gore to line his pockets, he has a HUGE carbon footprint while telling the rest of us what we should give up.
I could SCREAM that my carbon foot print is far less than it used to be. It would be totally TRUE. Before I pat myself on the back I SHOULD state I am retired and I no longer PRODUCE anything.
As a kid I remember a cross section of an ancient redwood that was on display at the NY Museum of Natural History. They had tags showing the ring where major world events occurred. They pointed out different climate changes over history. There were times where the tree grew more and times it grew less due to CHANGING CLIMATE. I will bet that REALITY has been taken down.
Hurricanes-with all the PANIC, we have had FEWER hurricanes than in the past.
It is always others should. California perhaps the epicenter of this PANIC. They have incomprehensible forest fires. It is due IN PART to poor forest management. These fires release TONS of CO2. They are deliberately making gasoline powered cars unaffordable to drive.
