Where did you read that earth is starting to cool? June 2014 was Earth’s warmest on record as ocean temperatures surged

The land is rising in some places and other places the water level is rising. How do you differentiate the difference between human caused global warming impact and the natural movement of tectonic plates?

You might need the boat in 2000 years, so go ahead and get rid of that suv. Be sure to remove the obama sticker before you try to sell it.

I want anybody who's a liberal and owns beach front property in NJ or Delaware to sell it to me at 5 cents on the dollar. If they believe in global warming then they believe their property will soon be underwater. Put up or shut up.

I hope you realize that plants (food crops) NEED carbon dioxide to grow. I wonder what the cutoff point is where the CO2 level gets low enough that crops don't grow well enough to feed the billions of people on this ball of dirt?

As for "public transportation", there are areas of this country, and other countries, where such transportation is non-existent or pretty much useless. Where is the money going to come from to make such transportation viable for everybody?

Electric vehicles? Do you know how many COAL FIRED power plants will be needed to furnish the power to recharge all those vehicles? Wind power won't do the job, I drove through two large "wind farms" last week, and in BOTH of them there was NOT ONE WINDMILL TURNING! What about the potential pollution from the manufacturing and recycling of all those batteries and the electrolyte? How will we get the money to fund highway construction and maintenance, when fuel tax revenues fall even further? Will we be forced to put transponders on our vehicles so we can be taxed per miles driven?

The Law of Unintended Consequences is an immutable law of the Universe. Be very careful what you wish for, you just might get it, and there is no guarantee you will like the end result!
Good luck.

Not By Fire But By Ice by Robert Felix

Felix bases his theory on peer reviewed papers and mainstream sources.

Heard him on Coast to Coast, just before the alien abduction guest came on

Because I went straight to the source and saw that the temperature trend shows us at a peak and we will most likely begin declining.
