The 97% consensus? Two studies have been done, both asking if the queried believed if humans had an effect on the environment? NOT asking:”Are humans causing catastrophic anthropogenic global warming?”

The ‘science’ of GW is the result of $ billions being targeted to research committed to verifying GW. The primary ‘research’ center is the IPCC out of the University of East Angela, England. No money has been allocated to contrary studies. In a scientific process a theory is examined freely by both supporters and skeptics.

If the Kyoto Treaty were to be enacted there would be a disastrous effect on our economy. Few deny this, but argue it would be cheaper than “uncontrolled GW.” Control of our economy, through control of energy, would be given to an international body.
At stake are trillions of dollars. Billions of it to be funneled through the UN to be redistributed to third world countries. There would also surrender of substantial control of our economy to the UN. This is not just an ivory tower scientific discussion! Under Kyoto, the “rich” nations would have to pay the carbon taxes of the developing nations, including to China.
In the US, there are vast “renewable energy” industries totally created by subsides & mandates, all driven by selling a belief in GW. The cost goes far beyond just the direct subsidies; it ‘locks’ us into a far higher cost of energy.

GW has been rebranded as “climate change.” This deflects attention from the lack of warming. It also allows any normal bad weather to be blamed. The simple fact is CC theory is based upon unusual anthropogenic warming.
No GW = No CC.
- There has been no warming for 23 years. None since 1998. This is in stark contradiction to the IPCC predictions, proving their computer ‘models’ are drastically wrong. ( Google “global warming pause”)

- A growing number of highly credentialed scientists are speaking out in opposition. This is a list of a number of scientists that are publically outspoken skeptics. Skeptics often lose teaching positions and funding.

- The thousands of hacked emails from the IPCC revealed scientists have been collaborating to hide and fake data. This has been dubbed as “Climategate.” These emails show not just bad science, but a deliberate intent to deceive and defraud.
- With the revelations of “Climategate” several universities asked the IPCC for the raw data for their review. The response was that it is all ‘lost.’. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2011/11/23/climategate-2-0-new-e-mails-rock-the-global-warming-debate/
- The famous Dr..Michael Mann “Hokey Stick” graph depicts a 1000 year temp. ‘flat line’ ending in a sharp upwards rise. We are supposed to be in the sharp rise now.
The ‘flat line’ section fails to depict the “Midlevel Warming” and the “Little Ice Age”. Both well studied and documented historical events. This again shows intent to defraud

- It is often cited that there is a close correlation between CO2 rise and temperature rise. What is not mentioned is that temp rise occurred about 800 years before CO2 increases! This is thought to be because a great amount of CO2 is absorbed in the oceans. It takes hundreds of years to warm the deep oceans which reduces CO2 holding ability. Long term studies are the result of deep ice cores taken from polar areas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4hbKF5-qUE 49 min
- It was long claimed that the polar ice caps were supposed to be largely melted years ago (Al Gore predicted the North Pole would be totally ice free in the summer by 2014) Actual measurements show record amounts of ice. Remember the flotilla of boats several summers ago that were caught in Artic ice? Remember the ship of ‘scientists’ that became ice bound in the Antarctic ice and had to be helicoptered out?
As far as “The Green New Deal” it is a ridiculous proposal that would result in vast millions of deaths. Imagine a world with no modern agriculture, no means of large scale harvesting. no means of transporting no refrigeration. No heat in the winter. No light at night. No processing and pumping of water. No energy to cook with. Modern society would come to an end. This would also result in mass deforestation as desperate people will cut anything for heat and cooking.
We have spent vast billions on green energy and it still supplies almost none of our power. Solar & wind are weak sources and are intermittent. They are also very expensive that would result in widespread energy poverty. There is no effective means of large volume storage.

The percentage of CO2 in air is only .04% of that human activity is responsible
for only 3% of that. Most CO2 that is not from the decaying of organics, comes
from volcanoes. The reality is that the effect of human activity is extremely
minimal. .3% of .04% = .012% of the atmosphere!
