"Perhaps you need to examine your premises."

Fair enough - in the spirit of Sunday let's try.

1. GW is a political movement and not a science driven movement. It gives relevance to fools who would be lost to obscurity. The data has been shown to be wrong and the predictions false.

2. GW alarmism is a profitable business to be in - so much so that threats to the gig are fought irrationally. Truth in the promotion of GW is long since lost. The effort to stifle debate is huge - why?

3. GW is a great example of "group think". The environment of the issue is such that you are made to feel like you are nuts if you disagree.

4. GW alarmism is a huge threat to the true needs of our world. Spending trillions on a maybe in place clear incontrovertible needs will do serious harm to thw world population.

5. The change from GW to Climate Change is a classic attempt to dodge the harsh realities of failed predictions - eg the "hockey stick". Climate change is real and constant - no one can deny it. So - what a way to insure the movement.

6. The only possible hope to maintain the world's well being and seriously reduce CO2 is nuclear power. The GW alarmists are opposed to that. To me this shows they are not really serious about solutions.

Finally, if GW is going to happen it is going to happen. Per the numbers of the alarmists the tipping point has come or is near. If it is near it is going to tip because the major growth areas of the world are not at all interested in the nonsense being required.

So - above is my premise. Build all the wind mills you like. Build all of the solar farms you like. If that eliminates CO2 fine - but don't worry - it will be far little far to late to change the numbers cast in stone by the demographics of the world.

Oh and BTW - spend a little time studying the correlation of sun spot activity with world temperature.
