Well, there are people who believe the earth is flat so... yes, they're probably are.
I would argue the vast majority of people on the planet are for a cleaner planet with less waste.
But you alienate over half the population with the Al Gore / Leonardo DiCaprio BS preaching at the common folk we're ruining the planet when they have multiple mansions and private jet all over the world.
From what I've seen from Al Gore, Leonardo, etc... they're mostly like, "Hey. Take care of the planet. We only get one."
How is that a scam or an NWO agenda? I am admittedly asking from a stance of ignorance. I haven't paid much attention. I know I have a lot of redneck friends who swear that fracking doesn't harm anything, fossil fuels are the way to go, and forests have to be plowed because jobs.

Are there really people who believe that plowing down forests, burning fossil fuels, etc... aren't harming the planet?
I doubt it. No thinking person wants to destroy the environment they depend on for survival. Also no thinking person who has looked without a bias outlook can believe all the propaganda about AGW either IMO.

Basically you are ignoring the spike in CO2 that we are observing and human activity is responsible for. This will have consequences.
This is the smoking gun of the climate argument that many simply neglect.
We had a lot of winter storms this year, but record lows were not exactly being smashed. Because of the stormy snowy winter, the average uninformed person is much more likely to reject the theory behind human induced global warming.

Good, sorry I mistook you.
The problem is the several Jet Streams are less energetic, which means the meandering movement doesn't make it as far north/south anymore and the centre of the cold wanders south.
It's I guess because more water is in the atmosphere.
But it also means more previously bound in the poles water gets in the atmosphere, because they don't get their cold winds anymore.

No thinking person should believe the anti-AGW bias since it is funded and promoted by the same asstards who tried to deny the link between cancer and cigarettes. Same disinfo campaign tactics too.
PS: Global warming has been worried about by scientists since the turn of the 20th century well over a century ago.

Made many posts on the subject as have others, but it's Climate Change now, nothing else covers so well the A in AGW where the real disagreements lay. H

Science is self correcting. When someone lies about data, it is thrown out. If you are versed in ANY science whatsoever you should know this implicitly. To pretend like climate science doesn't follow that action is absurd.
Also, at the same time, there are MANY MANY manufactured hoaxes trying to take down AGW. Like Climategate for instance. I don't see you taking credibility away from the anti-AGW crowd for lying against science, but you are holding bad data from the 1970's against AGW science. Looks like a double standard to me.

All I know is that I have lived and been camping in the same place all my life.
I have physically witnessed the summers getting hotter and winters getting shorter over the last 10 years.
This year was the worst. We had ONLY ONE week of real winter this year and it was during that arctic freeze that happened.
I don't know why it is happening all I know is that it is happening. It's my own experience that tells me this not the media.
85 people in Taiwan died due to the last cold snap....... and Taiwan is not some low rent district.
In my part of Asia temperatures dropped as low as 17 degree Celsius in the Philippines and Bangkok..... 22 degree Celsius in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, .....

63 degrees F is cold enough to kill people? It's a freaking Ice Age.

OMG! Stop repeating this lie! The phrases "climate change" and "global warming" have existed together since the early 1900's... (source)
