Why some of us are skeptical.
As we have learned recently, there is much to be skeptical about regarding the "new religion" of climate change. There is no question that there needs to be a more open scientific debate on this issue to come to a conclusion. Unfortunately, the UN "consensus" is not science, since science is based on accurate and painstaking research to try to disprove a theory, to see if it stands up to scrutiny. A consensus is fine for politics, but not for science. Unfortunately, the new religion of global climate change is now so politicized that even the most unscientific mind will discard and discredit such nonsense as "consensus" to stop debate and squelch contrary evidence to a fuzzy minded theory. Lets not forget the idiocy of the 70's when we told by these same people that the world was heading into a new ice age caused by mankind and we were all doomed unless we gave up carbon based energy. It is rather frightening to consider the degree of immersion into the concept that industry was creating a global crisis, gaining support by the government by creating mandates that are purely political in nature. A glaring example is the regulatory power recently given to the EPA by this administration through Executive decree, bypassing the Congress which is basically unconstitutional. The climate change religion is being taught to our kids in an effort to indoctrinate new generations into believing that this is a fact and that the only solution to the problem can be provided by Government. Hence the politicizing of science to further even more government control over the daily lives of the people.
Lets open the debate, keep an open mind and allow real science to either prove or disprove the theory before we take any further steps to sink the world economy.
