I can assure you that climate change is real.  It has always changed and it will always change.  The real question is whether man-made emmissions are impacting global climates and if they are to what degree, what can we do about it and at what cost.  I remain unconvinced that man-made CO2 is significantly impacting global climates.  I think the failure of the models to accurately predict global temperatures over the last two decades is highly problematic.  They were the seminal rationale for tying CO2 levels to global climates and they have been miserably wrong.....well, except for the ones that did not find global climates being sensitive to CO2 levels (those were of course rejected by alarmists).  I also find the manipulation and hiding of data to be cause for skepticism, not to mention the suppression and intimidation of scientists that have countering viewpoints.  I also object to the lack of recognition of the impact of the sun on global climates.  That is like ignoring the impact your furnace has on the temperature in your home.  Lot's of solid research that has shown that global climates have always followed the cycles of the sun. No surprise there.

But more to the point, what is the cost of reducing CO2 emmissions and how will it adversely impact us?  My view based on what I have read is that the usual prescriptions to respond to an unproven theory will have tremendous negative impacts on mankind, particularly the poor and developing countries.  And for obvious reasons, there is never one iota of discussion of the positive benefits of global warming as we have seen over the last 10,000 years.  I think we can all agree that we are better off with the weather in the midwest today versus 10,000 years ago when it was covered with a mile thick sheet of ice.  

I could go on and on about why I think the whole thing is a scam designed to transfer power to governments and wealth from developed nations to developing nations.  As for pollution in the oceans, that is indeed a problem but not in the U.S.
