Why do we allow ourselves to be hoodwinked by the Government and their so called 'experts'?
Climate change is related to the current cycle of change in weather patterns, caused by the sun and other cosmic factors. Our 'carbon footprint' is apparently less than 1/10th of 1% in the whole carbon generating process.
We emitted more carbon in the early 1900's than we do now.
In the early 1970's they thought we were heading for a mini-ice age. That was all wrong too.
It has been proved that the world is currently in a small cycle of 'warming up' and it is not related to our carbon emissions at all! …and overall the planet iscooler than it was hundreds of years ago.
Its another 'bandwagon' for the government to promote, so they can get what’s left of any spare money we have.
Spend as much money as you like on reducing your carbon footprint - it won't make any difference to the climate AT ALL!
...eventually, it will start to cool again.
Its another big con to make some money change hands and keep people in jobs, and line the government’s already overflowing pockets.
I saw a statement in a local newspaper stating: “Last month was the second mildest January on record - only in 1921 was the month warmer..."
My argument is: If its still not as warm as it was in 1921, how can that be proof that things are getting warmer. It would make more sense to state that its actually getting cooler over that 85 year period.
Climate change caused by humans is nonsense.
