Most people start from the presumption that fuel emissions cause climate change, and that only liberals can save us, but as I have noted before ...

The climate changes with or without human intervention. During the 20th century alone we went thru both a cool down and a warming period. No model in existence is able to account for both past and present climate data, yet they still use their extrapolations to make "scientific" predictions. If spooking the people with Wooly Mammoths didn't work when I was young, then try something else.

Have we all now become as "qualified" as Bill Nye the "science guy?"

Even if their claims are true, US emissions are nothing compared to the rest of the world. We barely have a manufacturing base anymore, and our EPA regulations are orders of magnitude more stringent that the rest of the world, hence the US could effectively "turn off the lights" and it would have nearly no impact.

Ever consider how much more dangerous volcanic emissions are than vehicular or manufacturing emissions? The earth itself has great "cleansing" power over pollutants, yet the earth itself is far more dangerous to "Mother Nature" than man actually is.

But why not incite all the campus snowflakes for political gain? Why not twist all the data for political advantage? Clintons, Obamas, et. al. for decades got real rich and powerful with this "business model."

Did anyone ever consider that perhaps climate change is good for man? What if it is part of God's plan to wake us up and speak to us? What if the "fullness of the time" is drawing near, and this earth is right on schedule? What if the increase in natural disasters (volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc.) completely outside of man's control are all designed to be signals to us? What if our Creator has no intention that this earth should last us another millennia? What if the Biblical prophecies are actually true and will be soon accomplished?
