If climate change is not man-made and cannot be reversed or changed, then the current government efforts at changing economic and societal activity would be futile and would punish the poor.
In any case, in support of real science, a friend sent me this, which I have edited to remove the “scatological blunt language”. The full post with the scatological language and the actual name of the poster is available on

A friend sent me the following, from:
education.com/magazine/article/Global_Warming_Savvy/
Gordon and David list a bunch of ways kids can stop global warming in their
book, The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming. Here’s a list of Gordon’s
top 6 things kids can do to change their ever-warming world:
a… Save energy by encouraging people to replace regular light bulbs with
compact fluorescent bulbs.
b… Carpool.
c… Unplug chargers.
d… Raise money by selling lemonade, having a car wash, or whatever they
like to do, and donate it to a climate change organization that gets the
message out.
e… Email their mayor, Congressional representative, or Senator and tell
them to pass laws reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
f… Go paperless as much as possible (wrap gifts in cloth, email instead
of regular mail, use both sides of the paper for homework, put recycled
paper in the printer, etc…)
The best Comments tell them in some detail why they are [full of baloney]. The subject
is so huge, and there are so many points in the article calling for
refutation, that it is an impossible task in the space allowed for a
comment. But since this is aimed at educators I felt that some contribution
was called for. My comment to them, not shown yet, was:
Bob Webster has given you a lot of the real science. Additional information
is that the world has been cooling for at least 8 years and stopped warming
a decade ago. We may well be headed for several decades of cooling weather,
not warming, and that would be MUCH worse for nearly all of us. Think
starvation.
The IPCC and other alarmist sources, are basing their scare
predictions…sorry, “scenarios”…on ground-station temperature data
that have been shown independently (see
www.surfacestations.org) to be
untrustworthy, with effects of urbanization and changes around weather
stations (pavement, BBQs, air conditioning outlets, etc.) all giving false
“higher” temperatures then have been reported as representative. The
temperature data can’t be trusted!!
The major IPCC reports were not written by scientists. Only 65 persons (!!)
wrote the reports, and nearly all of them were political appointees with an
agenda, not objective scientists. Any information contrary to AGW was
censored out. The report for policymakers was written BEFORE the scientific
report, and the latter was written to agree with the document for
policymakers! Backwards “science”!! (Google “ipcc errors” for a look at the
actualities of the whole IPCC process.) The IPCC reports are worthless for
guidance in setting climate policy. Unfortunately, the relationship to the
UN gives it a halo that it does not deserve.
An Inconvenient Truth is full of scientific errors (a.k.a. “deceptions”)
from start to finish. It should never be shown to children (or anybody, for
that matter), for it wil give them a completely wrong picture of reality.
Carbon dioxide has next to nothing to do with climate, and calls to reduce
CO2 emissions are without foundation. Climate changes naturally, up and
down. Always has and probably will. Man’s emissions have nothing to do with
it.
There is nothing wrong with promoting practical ways to consume less fossil
fuel. But to tie it in to a mythical anthropogenic (man-made) global warming
is to promulgate pure deception and propaganda for ulterior motives.
I have two degrees in chemical engineering and have a fair knowledge of
science. I have spent between 2500 and 3000 hours researching climate. It
takes time to learn the true story of climate (it is EXTREMELY complicated),
and the piffle that is being passed onto the world public is worthless as a
means of educating them. It is most unfortunate that this organization,
while meaning well, is doing a grave disservice to anyone who reads this
blog.
Anyone who wishes to learn some facts about climate is welcome to contact me
at … and I will be pleased to provide lots of good
references.
