AGW is a scientific issue not a popularity issue.

Satan's mischief.
God's plan.
Ancient aliens!
Illuminati.
Lizard people (Obama's) plan. They like it warm, so his plan is to confuse us by making it cold.
Ley line interference of the global atmosphere.

Climatologist: 30-Year Cold Spell Strikes Earth
Quote:
With nasty cold fronts thrusting an icy and early winter across the continental U.S. — along with last winter described by USA Today as "one of the snowiest, coldest, most miserable on record" — climatologist John L. Casey thinks the weather pattern is here to stay for decades to come.

In fact, Casey, a former space shuttle engineer and NASA consultant, is out with the provocative book "Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell," which warns that a radical shift in global climate is underway, and that Al Gore and other environmentalists have it completely wrong.

Stupid options because nobody is predicting such elevated CO2 levels....

Rising temperatures are mainly caused by burning fossil fuels, and the feedback effects of a warming planet....We have already reached a level that is causing problems.

Another option should be "It can't be happening because Jesus, just like that nice Mr. Inhofe on the teevee said."

@anyone who buys into AGW hysteria -

If it bothers you, do 2 things
  1. Make sure you live at least 210 feet above sea level, since all the land trapped ice on Earth melting and added to the total ocean volume can raise the global sea level a maximum of ~195 feet, and you'll want some wiggle room.
  2. Send your hysterical pleadings to one Xi Jingping, who is the boss of China. Since 2000, the US and EU levels of CO2 emissions have gone down slightly, but since 2000, China has increased CO2 emissions to the point that their current 2014 emissions alone are more than what they, the US and EU emitted combined in 2000. The US has fallen for the lie and has actually reduced our CO2 output, but even if our CO2 went to 0, as in we all stopped exhaling, the global CO2 output from fossil fuels would still be higher than 2000 because of China. So take it up with Xi Jingping.

That's your "solution" to the "problem."

What problems? There are no problems.

The truth is when someone comes up with a different answer that doesn't conform with the norm that politics and the warmers believe, they are vilified and shouted down. Typical liberal tactics.

The earth heats and cools periodically. It hasn't been proven definitely that man is or will cause it. Until then you have theory and guesswork based on who is funding the study as you put it.

The reality is a solution looking for a problem.
