Climate change is real. It's been going on for billions of years. And the sea level may be rising in some places but that too is cyclical. Everybody I know has tuned out the hysterics. It's nothing more than background noise ... like elevator music. And these polls are hilarious. What's next? New poll shows 144% of Americans believe whatever somebody in a crisp, white coat tells them to believe? Because after all, science is simply consensus, right?
Yep, exactly like MDs recommended smoking cigarettes in the 1950s.
The problem with that analysis is that the vast majority of the people in India and China are not in the industrial/export economy. The percentage of the population in the industrial economy in the U.S. is far higher. Factory for factory, India and China are bigger contributors of so-called "greenhouse gases." They are not about to stop growing their activity to satisfy some politicians and "scientists" in the West.
Our energy consumption per capita is almost twice that of Germany.
Strange you should bring that up...The same people who denied the harm that smoking caused are now denying climate change.
Exactly the opposite. The same type of people who denied the harm that smoking caused are now asserting the totally unproven "anthropogenic climate change."

Wow...Time for a name change for you.
“From the 1950s onward, the oil and tobacco firms were using not only the same PR firms and same research institutes, but many of the same researchers,”

Talk about barely being above a 7th grader mentality!
Carbon emissions from human activity has nothing to do with what particular industry a person in the US, China or India works in.
Humans generate a massive carbon footprint. Human activities—mostly burning of coal and other fossil fuels, but also cement production, deforestation and other landscape changes—emitted roughly 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2015. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, more than 2,000 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide have been added to the atmosphere by human activities according to the Global Carbon Project.
I am afraid you do not understand that having experience in editing and writing scientific papers that my ability to analyze and judge what constitutes valid science far exceeds your ability.
Then show us valid scientific studies that validate your ridiculous claims about this current trend of Global Warming has nothing to do with human activity.
Otherwise why continue boring us with your emotional tirade and beating on your chest as if you've been awarded a Nobel Prize?
Threads like this are brought about because of the previous hyperbole of people like Al Gore. I said during the time that someone needed to shut him up.
