I've been noticing a mild burst of anger over Trump's alleged (have not yet confirmed for myself) decision to divert funding meant for Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change Policies toward more pressing issues.

What, did you all swallow the bullshit that Al Gore sold in an inconvenient truth? Seriously? Do you guys recall that, in it he claimed that the ice caps would melt by 2014? Let me give ya'all a wake-up call...

Seriously, you thought that the polar ice caps are melting?

I give you climate researchers who went in search of what "little" ice was left in the Antarctic, but instead were greeted with TOO MUCH ICE

Oh you were worried about the "global average temperature" (<- the biggest load of a bullshit concept I've ever seen) having a disturbingly rising trend? Worry not, it seems we've had no Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change for the past 19+ years... (Kinda makes you wonder why they called it global cooling, global warming, climate change in the first place...)

Nah, you guys were probably concerned about the polar bears going extinct... Seems you didn't get the memo that their population seems to have hit record high levels

The science pseudoscience of Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change is so unbelievably retarded, it can be summed up wonderfully by one of my favorite independent reporters, James Corbett.

Karl Popper famously said, “A theory that explains everything explains nothing.” So what do you make of the theory that catastrophic manmade CO2-driven “climate change” can account for harsher winters and lighter winters, more snow and less snow, droughts and floods, more hurricanes and less hurricanes, more rain and less rain, more malaria and less malaria, saltier seas and less salty seas, Antarctica ice melting and Antarctic ice gaining and dozens of other contradictions? Popper gave a name to “theories” like this: pseudoscience.

"But global average temperature keeps rising as we dump more CO2 in the atmosphere!!11!one1!" No it fucking doesn't. Many Al Gore apologists have tried to cover this up, but you all should know as well as I do, that the truth cannot be kept hidden forever

"B-b-but, BUT MUH CARBON TAX!" Oh you mean that shitshow of an industry that's causing a major economic and political nightmare resulting in billions worth of losses, already proving a massive failure and stifling economic progress in third-world countries? The industry which profits the same man who spearheads it, Al fucking Gore?

"Hey, 97% of scientists and climatologists have unanimously agreed that man-made Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change is real. Who dafuq do you think you are?"

...Huh? How have you people not, as of yet, realized how this 97% consensus is a complete myth?? A total fabrication, this Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change "groupthink", rightly termed by Dr. Judith Curry, one of the most qualified Climatologists I have consulted, is nothing short of an insult in the scientific community.

"Okay fine, I can get behind the idea that the 97% figure is a myth. What about the mountain of data collected by climatologists and scientists which indicate human activity as the primary cause of Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change?" Oh, you mean layers and layers of lies, cover-ups, and truncated charts & statistics (James Corbett rightly refers to this as Lies, Damned Lies and Global Warming Statistics)? Perhaps you meant ClimateGate, a scandal that exposed email exchanges among several leading climate researchers, wherein they conspired to tamper with "adjust" the data to suit their needs?

"So you're saying we shouldn't do anything about our climate? That we should let it rot to hell??!!" Not at all. Stopping pollution is a great idea. Advancing forward from dependency on fossil fuels has fantastic prospects. But to steer public opinion using fear-mongering over a non-existent threat of a world-wide catastrophe is absolutely reprehensible in my eyes, and to capitalize on the result that follows, e.g. economic and trade policies that further stifle growth of industry in developing nations and smaller companies in developed countries should be a crime against humanity.

We all deserve the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the absolute truth, which in this case is that we understand VERY little about how our climate changes, and that we often ignore much bigger drivers of our climate: Solar Flares, tilt of the Earth's axis w.r.t. to the Sun (Haven't researched much on this one, heard it from my friend who's into Astrophysics, just sayin...), orbital variations in the Earth's distance from the Sun, to name a few.

Please people, do not fall for this scam known as Global Warming Global Cooling Climate Change. Research, research RESEARCH!
