When will these Global Warming/Climate Change Know-It-Alls just admit they don't know it all? (And quit trying to change our way of life and redistribute our wealth based on their weak, inconclusive, disputed, phony science studies. And give me back my regular lightbulbs! I promise to still remember to turn out the lights when I leave a room and not leave the water running when I brush my teeth. )

Watching highly educated people try to predict climate changes is quite an amusing and entertaining event.

It always has been and it always will. This earth is way too complex for people to make predictions with any degree of accuracy. It's like predicting the stock market. Sometimes they get lucky and get it right. Other times they look like fools.

And you are correct. The goal is wealth redistribution and global government.

It truly is hilarious to go back and take note of what these "experts" predicted would happen. Of course, they are never really held accountable for their grossly inaccurate predictions - they should be the laughing stocks of the scientific community and run out on a rail, lose all grants and funding as well.

I submit that environmental regulations helped to avert those 'botched forecasts'.

Haha.

Which one of those regulations caused the freezing/ record snow in the UK?

It's amusing to listen to the "Global Warming/Climate Change Know-It-Alls" pontificate and I consider them to be the true "flat earthers".

Global government might have some value since it would get us thinking we are all in the same boat, which we are. But those who wish to implement it already know how to exploit that ideal for their own benefit. Oppose the elitists who wish to enslave you, not the ideal they are stealing from you.

Wealth redistribution is probably the most necessary thing on the planet because of the manmade systems, it is the most out of balance. But what is wealth? Wealth is the power to work and live freely, not the selfish accumulation of materials. The free should empower the weak to support themselves by restoring the power that comes with responsibility. Which means those who currently have stolen the wealth for themselves will learn the toughest lesson: it is irresponsible and ultimately inhuman to put yourself before all others.

Despite these assertions, I agree that any predictions made by man, including those of future climates, should be lightly tolerated rather than wholly embraced. However, if mankind stopped making predictions it would mean we abandoned the future entirely.
