Since it is so cold around the US, should we increase CO2 emissions to "combat the cold"?
Therein lies the problem with the global warming hoax. The global warming enthusiasts promoted a false premise of "man made global warming" in order to transition to alternative fuels and to stifle industrialization.
If we accept the notion of CO2 as being an agent that truely warms the planet, then of course increasing CO2 production should be able to be used to combat cooling.
That is the problem with lies and hoaxes- sometimes they can bite you in the as* and subvert your initial objective.
It you are too cold all you need to do is buy a ticket on Qantas (Australia),and go to where it is 45C (125 F) in the shade, on SAA (South African Airways) to go to places where it is in the high 90s and it hasn't rained for several months, or LAN and go to Chile where it is in the 100s up in the North and hasn't rained in years if not decades. It isn't even summer yet in the Southern Hemisphere.

Right...
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. It by nature traps heat. This is hardly controversial, so to act like it was 'made up' that CO2 warms the planet is just plain wrong.
But what is 'stifling industrialization?' Are oils and fossil fuels REQUIRED for industrialization? Without them, do we go back to the stone age? Last I checked, that's how corporations think, but not people with an above 3rd grade literacy rate. As it turns out, trying to funnel in new, alternative fuels sources is actually more 'free market' than the current, heavily subsidized big oil industry we are currently living in.
And is the planet actually colder? Last I checked, it's not. And just so you know, having to put a jacket on does not mean the entire planet is freezing over. You live in a local area, in case you didn't know this. Where you live is NOT THE ENTIRE WORLD. Climate and weather are not the same, and I am truly sorry that the public school system has failed you so but neglecting to make that clear.

It is more complicated and complex than scientists with an agenda are willing to admit or see.
As night follows day, the winters will be colder as the summers grow hotter. Eventually, the heat will win out, and the arctic zones could become as warm as they once were when they were covered with dinosaurs. After it becomes that warm, most of the temperate zones on the planet that best support human life will be too hot to favor our existence.
Then, eventually, the planet will have another massive climate crash, followed by hundreds of thousands of years of ice and perpetual cold.
Earth's natural cycle. Whether we can modify it or not can be debated forever, but the tipping point is coming up on us fast. A baby born today will only be 40 when humanity will know whether the efforts taken or not taken are making enough difference to keep the balance in it's current delicate state or whether it is beyond our abilities.
Few of us will be around, but our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will. We will either be blessed or cursed by them. Choose which you prefer to be remembered by.
Ah yes, the classic, "Global warming isn't real because it's cold today where I live."
AGW is true. The scientific consensus is basically unanimous. I don't know why conservatives have to **** and moan so much about it. The fact that the Earth is heating up due to AGW is not political, but for some reason, conservatives just kick and scream denying it thus making it a political issue. Most of the people screaming denial will probably be dead before we have to deal with the consequences anyways.
Also, hahahahhahaha at the OP's "No excuse for ignorance"
