I've said this before, and I'll say it again .... even a confession from the crooks own mouths won't faze the brainwashed in any way. It's a "conspiracy theory" mumbles the droolers ... that's their automatic reaction to any attempt to inform and educate them with facts.

Nevertheless .... for Millions of years the earth's climate has cycled from cold to warm and back to cold again ... from glacial to interglacial and back to glacial periods. So there will always be either warming or cooling taking place, depending on where in that natural cycle you are .... coming out of a glacial period requires warming ... approaching the next glacial period will see cooling. Warming is good ... ice ages, not so much ... and even that relatively elementary logic escapes the CO2 nuts. I guess these crazies plant their gardens in the fall, rather than the spring, too.

And, for the record, I think the worlds climate is changing. But what I am not completely sold on, is if it is 100% man's fault. It may be that a natural change has been accelerated somewhat by our pollution of the atmosphere.
You got the part about natural change right but lost your point by saying too much.

Or not.

But don't worry, the wealth redistribution advocates will find something else to hang their hat on.

OK, so we'll use other sources.

Correct.

And our current climate could be warming or cooling, depending on what time period you measure and how you measure it.

One question: did you read that interview with the good doctor? I posted a link to it.

Rabett Run: Ottmar Edenhofer says it again

Note that the good doctor is German, and hence his statements were subject to translation. The interview was back in November 2010, but Billboards have little sense of time.

Since so many herein are expects on a surprisingly wide range of subject matters (I guess it helps to not work), I assume several are fluent in German. Hence, the original interview:

«Klimapolitik verteilt das Weltvermögen neu»: Klimaschutz hat mit Umweltschutz kaum mehr etwas zu tun, sagt der Ökonom Ottmar Edenhofer. Der nächste Weltklimagipfel in Cancún sei eigentlich ein Wirtschaftsgipfel, bei dem es um die Verteilung der Ress
Being German and a part-time freelancer, I have read the Interview, what he says makes sense... But I don't think the world will care much about such insight, it will continue pretty much like in the past...

It isn't big news that it is about government control. The news is that someone relatively high placed actually admitted it.

Just like we all know that the race thing is the same. But it made news when the Democrat state senator in Louisiana came out and said it and resigned his membership in the party:

“Their support of dependency over self-reliance, of everything but traditional marriage, of abortion on demand, their policies have encouraged the high teen birth rates, high school drop out rates, high incarceration rates and very high unemployment rates,” said Guillory. “Our self-initiative and self-reliance are sacrificed in exchange for votes for the party of disappointment. The list of disappointments is long,” said Guillory, noting “the lies and cover-up at Benghazi, the IRS harassing the tea party and wiretapping and spying on reporters.”

We've known all that for years. But it's unheard-of for a Democrat to say it.

So, attack the source when you can't refute the facts. Typical.

People here don't even know what he said, as he was not speaking of wealth as such at all. The text is too difficult for Google Translate...
No need to hold your wallets tight...
