Victor,

There are other voices about the role of CO2, for example see http://principia-scientific.org/study-co2-not-causing-climate-change/

The problem I've got with 'climate change' is that there is an immense industry build arround it that has a huge interest in outcomes of scientific research. There are a lot of scientist that have build a carreer upon the global warming theory.

So I'm not hopefull that what we get shoved down our nose is actually telling us the whole truth.

Walter,

>>OK. Let's just talk about my option here if you don't mind. 180 years ago, most scientists believed that Earth had been steadily cooling since it was formed. They actually believed that we were going to face another ice age. Then they changed their tune and decided that it was global warming - that the planet is now getting warmer due to man-made green house gasses. Then, in Newspeak, it became climate change.

>>For crying out loud. The climate has been changing since the earth was born. Is there some reason the climate at this particular point in time is the one "perfect" climate and we need to preserve it? Who decided that? Plus, no matter what kind of carbon taxes we levy on the western world (which, IMO, has nothing to do with global warming or global cooling but, is instead another attempt to redistribute wealth). Take a look at the pollution being spewed by places like India and China. They are the problem. So try levying a carbon tax on them, and the other polluters.

>Then I would think you wouldn't be too happy with Trump's choosing Myron Ebell to oversee EPA transition either. Lets put aside the climate change issue for a second here - keep in mind that he that says the United States should unleash the full power of coal, oil and gas to fuel economic growth and job creation. THIS is the the guy Trump picked for the Environmental Protection Agency. This hardly makes any sense. If you want clean air and water, this is not the guy you want is it?
