This is the most amazing trick the left ever pulled.  The most ardent supporters of AGCC have little to no idea what the actual data is or how the DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS are calculated, yet through popular culture they provide a high level of emotional return on investment for agreeing with a cathartic narrative by calling it "science based."  They make people FEEL smart without actually having to learn anything or think critically. 

 

1.) Man is not responsible for a majority or even a plurality of the CO2 released into the atmosphere every year. 

 

2.) When you look at the raw data from the ICE core camples there is no direct correlation between estimated CO2 levels and surface temperatures.  Sometimes there is a lag affect of centuries between an increase in CO2 and an increase in temperatures, and in other cases there is actually an inverse causal affect of increased surface temperatures seeming to cause an eventual rise in CO2 (making more of the planet habitable for animal life that processes energy aerobically).  This is evidenced contemporaly by the fact that our surface temperatures have remained in relative stasis for the better part of this century despite continued gains in population and technological expansion. 

 

3.) As someone stated earlier, the raw data for the 97% number proves intent to defraud.  They had a survey of 10000 scientists threw out over half before analyzing a minority of the papers and then counted those that mention man having anything to do with the climate.  This includes people who said that it was negligiable, natural, and disagreed with the larger premise that AGCC was responsible for meaningful change let alone catastrophic change. 

 

4.) They got CAUGHT LYING... 

 

5.) If you look at the actual proposals these people are making, if we hand over the keys to our economy and accept decads of draconian energy austerity we will increase suffering, decrease growth, become insolvent because we wont be able to generate revenue to sustain our entitlement programs, and we might MIGHT be able to reduce surface temperatures by 1/10th of one degree over the next hundred years...  Ahhhhhhhhh no!

 

6.) There is a giant FUSION ENGINE AT THE CENTER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ENERGY ON THE PLANET.  IT'S OUTPUT FLUCTUATES!!!!!!!!  (If i had shoutier capitals i would use them!)

 

7.) The vast majority of the greenhouse affect (95%) is caused by water vapor.  This is natural (the blue planet) and completely beyond anything humans can control. 

 

8.) No matter what anyone says, until they find reliable alternative energy sources that can power 747's and the rest of the economy efficiently then this is all just dust in the wind. 

 

9.) IF the problem were really that serious then those SCIENTISTS would be majoring in fields to solve #8 instead of climate science. 

 

10.) The fact that the climate advocates aren't advocating natural gas and nuclear energy lets you know that they have another agenda.

 

11.) The U.N. has admitted, this is all cover for a redistribution scheme of rich countries to developing countries.
