Okay, in all seriousness, not just posturing to make a point on a web forum, you see no threats from climate changes and truly view this as a "false crisis"?
I absolutely positively believe the crisis of man-made warming to be fake. The sun functions in cycles. Cycles within cycles, actually. "If" measured temperatures data can be trusted, and many believe it can't given the inconsistency of equipment placement, technology, and the relatively small changes this equipment is measuring, scientists know from core data that temperatures have fluctuated on Earth in far greater differentials for millions of years. CO2 is a lesser greenhouse gas that has a "total potential" impact just barely on the positive side of zero. Less than 1 degree Celsius potential.
So we are now in a cooling period since peaking in the last cycle in 1998. Why? Do you think it could be the sun?
http://www.solen.info/solar/One of the smaller cycles the sun operates under is an 11-year cycle of increased and decreased sunspot activity. Cycle 23 ended in early 2002, and so did the alleged increasing temperatures. Note that NASA corrected an error in their analysis that resulted in changes to reported temperatures that made 1998 only the 2nd warmest year, behind 1934 which was long-before decades of massive CO2 production worldwide.
http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0817-nasa_snafu.htmlCycle 24 hasn't begun yet, with sunspot activity near zero since 2002. And during the last 7 years we've seen average global temperatures drop to 100-year lows, ice caps growing, weather moderating, and places like Arizona seeing the mildest June weather in nearly 100 years. Not to mention record cold and snow here in the northwest early this year.
http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/06/19/20090619junelovely0619.htmlGranted, I was skeptical from the start when Al Gore became the champion of the crisis. I believed him a liar long before his investments in Green companies was outed, and long before it was reported that his carbon footprint was nearly record levels. When that UK court ruled his movie full of falsehoods that was encouraging, but the media has been masterful in maintaining the lie and continuing to promote the lies while suppressing the realities.
But what convinced me that not a word Gore said could be trusted was the analysis of his ice core conclusions that were intentionally distorted, and PORTRAYED IN HIS MOVIE TO DECEIVE VIEWERS, to portray CO2 driving temperature, when temperature has driven CO2 levels for millions of years.
So to answer your question again, I think man-made Global Warming is a political facade, lie, and con invented by politicians and environmentalists to extort trillions of dollars from the American people, as well as give centralized government more control over us and the ability to "manage" third world nations and their progress. When the lie of the Ozone Hole crisis was exposed, and when the former head of Greenpeace declared the Amazon rainforests safe, the left moved onto to a crisis that didn't require any evidence to defend and promote. With government throwing billions in research to scientists who would support their conclusions with assumptions and bogus computer models, the media then reported the argument as settled science.
It is not settled!
Obama's Cap and Trade proposals are estimated to cost business $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years, which translates into $500 a year for every person in America in new costs sent to the government. Cap and Trade is government selling the right to produce CO2. We will end up paying for it.
In my humble opinion, man-made Global Warming, or "Climate Change" is the largest hoax perpetrated on mankind.
A fantastic website to read the differing views of Climate Change is,
http://climatedebatedaily.com/. As you read the articles, note the reliance the pro-Climate Change views place on emotion, belief and attacks on the critics, versus the reliance on evidence and analysis in the dissenting voices.
