my entire life to address unsettled "science" is laughable.
Let's say the earth is warming, which is debatable based on how temps are measured, we should be spending more time and energy adapting to this "warmer" world than dreaming up unproven ideas that are going to stop and reverse global warming. The climate change demands are the typical type of governmental request: if we succeed, we need to keep spending and doing more, if we don't succeed, we just need to spend more and do more.
At the heart of the extreme climate alarmists is a belief that humans just suck and we should live in caves, if we are living at all. Once people understand it was these types of people that got the climate change ball rolling, they'll be more skeptical of what they read and hear.
