I Believe …

- Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas
- There are many other greenhouse gasses – methane, water vapor, etc.
- Man creates but a small percentage of the Earth’s greenhouse gasses. See this.
- Nature has many mechanism that cleanse the Earth of greenhouse gasses
- Greenhouse gasses do cause the Earth’s temperature to rise.
- The amount of this global increase for each gas is only a scientific approximation
- Many, many other things cause the Earth’s temperature to increase and decrease
- These things include: solar activity, Earth’s orbital mechanics, ocean current changes, etc.
- The degree of warming and cooling for each of these things is generally poorly understood
- There are other unknown unknowns that also affect the Earth’s climate
- “Scientific” modeling of future climate change on Earth without a complete knowledge and understanding of all these parameters and their effects is a fool’s game
- The Earth’s politicians are currently letting this foolish and imprecise “science” dictate policy
- The economic consequences of these proposed policy decisions will be staggering
- This all makes no sense whatsoever
