I tend to be skeptical when the term global warming is changed to climate change so they can then blame any weather on it. After I've read the 50th horror story of what could happen if we don't ACT NOW.
Also when the only answer to solving climate change is taxing me more and hamstringing the economy further. There's money to be made on both sides of the political isle no matter what people say. Look at carbon credits. Its a freaking scandal in itself. It does nothing to actually fix carbon emissions. If you run out you just buy some from a company that doesn't do any manufacturing on a large scale. Oh look there's 20 start up companies that all they do is trade credits and make millions...
And its hard to believe people when they cry the sky is falling but then take private jets around the world to warn us. Or when Obama flies to Europe a day after his wife does.
They expect us to change our lifestyle but their 'carbon footprint' in one day outweighs my entire year.
Think back 20 years people, what was the big story that we were all going to die from then? It's just one scare tactic after another. So there's a little science behind it. Woopty doo. I wish so many of you weren't so forgetful. The lot of you are getting all worked up over nothing. This will soon fade and a new threat will emerge.
