Most people realize that climate change is real and is happening. A majority of Americans and educated people around the world realize this. This forum is actually in the minority of opinion in this country. That's a good thing. You won't convince these Neanderthals on this thread who deny science of anything scientific unless FOX News and Limbaugh are in agreement with it.

What ya gonna do about it? Ship jobs to China? How will that help?

Well, here's a thought: have an economic revolution in the U.S..

Remember when we were a manufacturing powerhouse? The ONLY reason we don't lead the entire world in green energy technology is because of the stranglehold Congress will place on R&D. They know who pays their expenses and reelection campaigns.

Break that grip, save the planet, create good paying jobs. TOTALLY doable.

With the exception of nuclear power, you get more energy per dollar with fossil fuels. It's not even close, and it's science.

These scientists are dirty and unethical. They had already through past leaked emails were caught totally cooking the books and all the science falsifying results to fake global warming for power, prestige and wealth.

What these scientist do on a regular basis regarding global warming would be like your doctors telling a breast cancer patient to stop treatments and just drink soda.

Now maybe instead focus this energy on something real like not polluting our ground water or over fishing or dumping trash into the oceans.

No longer true....Renewables are beating fossil fuels 2 to 1.... The cost of wind energy has declined from 40 cents per kilowatt-hour to less than 5 cents.

That is funny. China can produce solar panels a lot cheaper than us.
