You can roll your eyes all you want, but that's a common misconception, and not true. Science actually knows how to measure this stuff, even if you don't believe it.

Science is based on falsifiable hypothesis. Measuring things is fine, but as they say, past performance may not be indicative of future results. Climate science, isn't. It's computer models which are constantly adjusted when they're shown to be inaccurate (false). A common statement is that weather is not climate (weather is short term, climate long term), but the sayers have no issue with adjusting their models in the short term time frame and then claiming them to model climate.

I'm not claiming that man doesn't have an effect on climate. But climate is also undeniably chaotic. 20K years ago, my property was covered in 600 feet of ice. Then it got warmer. It's still getting warmer. If history is a judge, at some point it will start getting colder.

Having said that, I also don't mean to claim that man isn't causing significant climate change. That may well be, but such claims are made by those who earn their living from supporting such claims, which are far from scientific. If someone thinks their model of chaotic climate is an accurate predictor, they should also be able to predict the stock market. Good luck.

IMO, the root issue is overpopulation. Even if you disagree with the above, it remains that more population requires more energy use, the most convenient and cheapest of which is still fossil fuel. Malthusian collapse has only been delayed.

Finally, don't read the above to be a statement that reducing our impact on the planet shouldn't be a goal. Although nature goes where it goes, we should aspire to have a minimal impact upon it.

I'm done. This thread has gone way off topic.
