I’m happy to hear our politicians speak about climate change this way. It absolutely is an existential threat and addressing it frankly should be among the country’s top priorities, if not THE top priority.

People need to think for themselves and not just abandon their thinking functions to a professional class that is not nearly as knowledgeable or trustworthy as some people would have everyone believe that they are.
Listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity 3 hours each and everyday is not thinking for yourself.

And who says the peer-review process is corrupt? (There is literally mountains of research out there showcasing the effect of climate change. Every day is a new study. Are you saying it's a giant conspiracy among all the worlds scientists?) Where is your evidence? Did Hannity tell you that? Did you get that from a blog? Do you look at both sides, do you think for yourself? Do you question yourself?

The world population will stabilize at 10-11 Billion.
World will be hotter and climate will change all over.
Most places it will become drier and drier, leading to failed crops, mass starvation and mass migration.
People from affected places will move to less affected areas.
Are those areas OK with of millions of migrants?

The US will be sued due to its failures to do anything and forced to take in hundreds of millions of affected people fleeing human made climate change.

Most of the midwest will become dustbowls, the south hit with by larger tropical storms never seen before.

Canada will build a wall to stop US migration north to now fertile land.

I don't think that its 55th on the list for those residents in California, Florida and North Carolina that were hit by hurricanes, fires and other related events.

I thought walls are stupid and don't work?

Nonsense.

AGW, what Climate Change was before warmers had to move the goal posts, is based on a measured global surface temperature record that doesn't exist and has never existed.

It is predicated on the assumption that the surface temperature of the Earth is static, largely dependent on the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and largely independent of other temperature driving factors such as water vapor, cloud cover and Ozone levels.

It also ignores the fact that the Earth's surface temperatures have been on the rise (generally speaking) for some 20k years, since the end of the last glaciation, and that short-term warming and cooling periods, some lasting decades, some lasting centuries, have occurred within this deglaciation period while CO2 levels have remained nearly constant.

The claims made by warmers cannot be tested, so they cannot be verified and they cannot be proven false, so they have nothing to do with science.

Climate change is an education issue. Most climate deniers aren't educated, and it shows. Climate change "denial" isn't an issue in educated Europe.

The uneducated are very susceptible to propaganda, which in this case, is backed by the oil conglomerates.
So, does this mean you now have a real temperature record to go along with your claims of unprecedented warming?
