"Natural phenomenon" has always been my argument while yelling that a tax will never have any affect on nature. Climate change scientists are failiing at the "scientific method." Hubris nor greed for government funding have ever been valid forms of the scientific method.

Additionally, it's always been government dictates which do more harm than good when it comes to nature especially when they introduce "man-made" balance to curb overpopulation of animal species. Consider cloud seeding which overrides natural cycles by pulling moisture from the air destined for other areas of the planet.

Sorry for the link...long video too. Good briefing from Dr. Easterbrook. Eye opening, at least to my tiny brain, on things climate education related that don't make the news...like what climate is, not what we assume it is. Good video, long, but some info to look at independently about our climate versus just a "sales pitch" the news or politicians sell us all.

Oh... and climate does change. Always has, always will. Our level of impact is what still needs questioning and better understanding, along with increasing renewable/reusable resources and not dumping stuff into the ocean.

MSgt Don VandeBogert - As you say, climate changes. It should be apparent, at least to those of us living in California, that we don't have a clue as to the impact of human behavior/technology/etc, and our attempts to "mitigate" those effects are exacerbating the problems. The money that was supposed to be spent on repairing the power grid was diverted to Green Energy projects which failed miserably to help us satisfy the state's demand for energy. Now the state is on fire as the grid is failing. Now, what lesson did our fearless leaders learn form their mistakes? Of course, it's time to double down! Ban gas-powered cars and put everyone in electric-powered cars so that the demand for electricity will be even greater and the environmental impact will be even worse. Save yourselves! California is lost...

The history of man is full of technological advances that were lessons learned from unintentional acts.

I imagine the first shaped stone cutting tool was developed after Og dropped one rock on another. Cronk scolded Og for the environmental impact and safety hazard created by sharp rock fragments. But Og was an entrepreneur and realized you can scape more fat and meat off of the hides, and in turn get more cave women attention. Cronk got together with the other "progressive" cave men and demanded that Og share the "excess" from from his ability, with each according to their needs.

For the moment let's accept that climate change is anthropogenic. If we can change the environment unintentionally, how long before the mind of man harnesses that unintentional power and turns it into an opportunity?
