The science to fully explain such events is completely not understood, and is NOT related to just atmospheric CO2 ppm variations in history.

We have a limited window of about 30 years before fossil fuels run out. And even electric vehicles will find much difficulty finding electricity when that finite resource runs out. Carbon management will become an unnecessary issue, and sadly even space travel will be impacted.

Sea levels are rising and have been for 12,000 years since the last ice age. The oceans are approximately 425 feet higher today, but the bulk of that rise occurred in the first thousand years. In the past century, the seas have risen less than 8 inches. Source: Super Freakonomics.

The biggest source of global warming is the sun, so perhaps we should shoot a nuclear warhead into the sun and blow it up, thus quickly eliminating the largest source of global warming.

Thank You David.

As a younger person (in my early thirties), the brainwashing of the youth into socialist ideologies is quite alarming. It will probably get worse before it gets better. Climate change is paramount in conditioning for social control.

I'm also an expat to America, from Australia. As corrupt as the system is here in America. In comparison to Australia, the Constitutional Republic still breads some resistance. The freedom I get in this country is reminiscent of what my parents got in Australia when I was a child. Australia now breeds apathy and conformance. I can only hope America doesn't follow suite.

The days of journalism have long passed.

However, am I the only person to remember that Al Gore predicted in 2006 that New York city would be under 50' of water by 2015 and reached the point of no return? About every 20 years, the GW crowd has to remind the new generation that it's all doom and gloom unless they hand over all their money. My only question for Al Gore would be, "Senator, if you believe the coasts will be under water, why do you buy an $8.9 million dollar home on the California coast?"

The Polar Bears will be extinct because their ice caps will be gone? Now we're hearing that there's TOO MANY polar bears and it's becoming a problem.

In 1995 a climate scientist in the UK said, "By 2007 children in the UK will never again see snow."

You need to follow me on Twitter. Lol

Love it.

Agree! In our youth, carbon dioxide was a good thing as it was the “food”of all plant life. Today, children are taught it is a poison.
