The climate has been changing ever since the world began - for millions of years. We have climate data going back about 140 years or so. The earth has gone through at least two ice ages, followed by periods of warming and melting.
Did anyone notice the article in the Daily Sun a couple of weeks ago saying that scientists have very strong evidence of droughts in California hundreds or thousands of years ago of much greater severity and duration than the current one? This was shortly after our President in his State of the Union declared that the current California drought is definitly caused by man-made climate change.
We should continue to take reasonable measures to keep our air clean -- and America has done far more of that than any other Nation. Here's an idea: If those politicians clamoring for action to control climate change were really interested in a solution, rather than a political issue, they could propose a climate change tax on all goods imported from China.
