Ok. So what you are saying is that the us, which has the 6% of the world's scientists that disagree with man-made climate change, is involved in a conspiracy to make people buy into said climate change, while at the same time being the only nation in the world to deny it exists, to refuse to strict reductions, while simultaneously profiting grandly from business practices that continue to pollute and contribute to said climate change. How shockingly clever of them.

How can people in this day and age not realize that for all the destruction that mankind has done to this planet that it is a major cause for Global climate change.
You put enough chemicals in the air....over time it will effect the climate.
Look at the weather changes..more extreme weather , drastic changes in temps..etc.
For instance..it went from minus 30 to 0 over-nite where I live...used to take days or weeks for that kind of temp change but over-nite.
The planet I feel is living organism..like everything..it gets sick and then it sends out antibodies to destroy that which is causing it's illness...that would be us.
I feel the planet is in the process of repairing itself...at the expense of us.

Let's be honest here, what is the real issue? On one side you have businesses which want to be free to pollute and destroy to their hearts content. On the other side you have people who want a world still around for our children. Guess what side you are on? One side stands to gain massive amounts of money from their argument.....the other....just wants a future where they are able to still breathe, eat, and not be subject to flooding of coastal areas due to melting ice caps. What is the evidence? Dying animals everywhere, massive decreases in sea life due to rising acidity of oceans from higher air co2 levels. Dying aborigines from cancer and pollution. Dying coral reefs. The obvious effect of increasing co2 production while cutting down massive rainforests and woodlands. Companies points of vview? They Should never have to clean up any mess they make no matter who or what it kills. The eco whackos point? We are responsible for this world that we borrow from future generations. Clean up your sh@t. Which side makes sense? Which side is responsible? Which side requires more work? Which side is destructive? Instant gratification? Killing people right now?

Guess how much acid rain there is now? LOL
Guess why there is much less than there was.
Hint: it has to do with regulation.
It has to do with technology.
Scrubbers and more efficient burning, which would have happened anyway.

Extreme weather changes? New?
I clearly remember, well over 30 years ago a Halloween where we were setting up a Haunted House.
We began the day in shorts and t-shirts it was so warm
by the end of the day it snowed with a one foot accumulation
