I work for MIT, we study the atmosphere, we make the best climate models available, anywhere, we know and understand climate history. Let's get right to the point: The Sun drives the weather. Not some trace gas that is necessary and beneficial to life on Earth. The Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn have all mirrored that same fluctuations in global temperatures as the Earth. In direct opposition to what is being told to you on this very site: the Satellite and balloon data confirm the declining temperature hypothesis. Greenhouse gases: 99% water, 0.117% CO2, 0,066% Methane. 0.047% N2O, 0.047% remaining trace elements. Out of the 0.117% of CO2 in the atmosphere, man's contribution is 1/2 of 1% of that, or: 0.0005855%. The United States contributes 28% to that number, bringing our grand contribution to "catastrophic Global Warming" to: 0.0001638%, or roughly two one thousandths of one percent! And that is only if America is wiped off the planet. This scam is about social control, not climate control. Note: no-one is claiming (even vaguely) as to what aspect of climate they can change, the time frame they could change it, or even by what metric, success or failure can be measured by. The claims of cause and effect are so wildly generic, any change good or bad, can be argued in any direction. Has anyone defined what "climate change" is? How this so catastrophically different from say, the rest of human history? For such drastic proposals, there is a frighten lack of actual science here. What science does exist, contradicts the the politicians at the UN. Lots of speculation and unproven theory is certainly no basis for commenting economic Armageddon. Finally; what happens after commenting economic suicide, and nothing changes? Ask your grand parents if our climate is so much different than they remember. I have, the weather had much wider swings than today. Don't be a shmuck, AGW is a load of BS.
