Guess you're okay with sending 1-2% of your GDP (unless, of course, your GDP doesn't do what it is predicted to do for the next 50 years and then it will be a higher %) to "developing" countries (or $45 trillion world-wide) to stop something that we're told wouldn't make any difference for over 100 years. By that time, to hear the global warmers talk, we'll all be dead anyways.
France's economy is booming and you certainly can afford this. Just ask your national bank to help you out...
Once they changed from "global warming" to "climate change" (of COURSE the climate changes, it always has) and then started attributed EVERYTHING under the SUN (except the sun, of course) to "climate change", they LOST all credibility.
Amazing how those who know so little think that they know everything:
the IPCC was set up in 1988. Guess what the CC stands for?
Probably too difficult, so I'll give you a helping hand: one word is "climate" the other is "change".
I think I've made very clear statements .... there is not one shred of evidence that CO2 is, or ever has "caused" warming. Increases in atmospheric CO2 as measured in the ice core record show it to be a result of warming ... not the cause ... and those increases come way later ... as in 800 years after a warming period. So, coming after and not before eliminates CO2 as a causal mechanism, and that lag time tends to limit CO2 as a "contributing factor" also.
So if I understand you correctly, you are implying that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas. Yes or no?
You're ready to tell us all how to live. Are you prepared to throw your country in the gutter (it's already half-way there) so that you can try to stop something that we all know is inevitable?
The fact that you completely ignored the question (three times) is very telling.

Who said anything about what to do about global warming? I know haven't. We were discussing whether it's real and man-made, and you seem be trying to change the subject.

You just proved my point. If it's man-made and you don't care to do nothing about it why are you even worried about it? We're still discussing "global warming" or "climate change" and if it's man-made or natural.
To repeat the question is to call out the hypocrisy of the people claiming it's man-made. Are you willing to throw our economies down the drain to stop something that we can't do anything about? (rhetorical question)

Well, because I'm interested in weather (and climate around the world) and I find it very interesting if the weather will change. Your question doesn't follow logically at all.
I never said I didn't care to do nothing but what to do is very different than is the climate warming due to people.

I don't see how that's hypocrisy. They seem like completely different subjects to me.
Well if you truly believe it's off-topic you have the power to get rid of it and I respect that.
