But they have everything to do with the motivation of the people pushing 'climate change' aka 'global warming.'

Hell, they even changed their initial fear-inducing 'global warming' warnings to a more euphemistic 'climate change' mantra when the data were showing that their 'global warming' predictions were all nonsense.

Why the change in nomenclature if not an appeal to ignorance?

If it is global WARMING they are 'concerned' about - why not, if they actually believe that, keep it as they signature warning. None of them are 'warning' about 'climate change' producing a cooler earth.

If this is science based, and the science actually supports it, why not drive home their 'real' concern about global warming??

That alteration of the nomenclature alone shows they are NOT SERIOUS about global warming. Do you have any examples of their being worried about the 'climate change' giving us a cooler earth?

These are signature actions of a political campaign, not a scientific pursuit. Science would suggest you identify a problem, name the problem with something suggestive of its nature, and then objectively weigh all the data that can be amassed from scientific techniques - then either prove your concept, or modify the 'problem.'

It is obvious they have modified the problem in their adoption of 'climate change' as the bogey man - but this was only to mask the influence of the data they were acquiring rather than to modify the problem the are 'concerned' about.

Now - there cannot be any argument about the climate changing - it is impossible to keep it constant without complete elimination of the physical forces involved. Like the Mars environment. or Venus' environment.

AND - I have no doubt that man's introduction of CO2 into the environment introduces a new atmospheric force that was not there before man began to advance civilization. The question is entirely = "how significant is man's contribution?'

I am agnostic about the merits of 'climate change' as a significant 'problem' that we need to sacrifice our standard of living over while the real contributors to this phenomenon are allowed to continue unrestricted.

The immediate solutions to the 'climate change' problem the progs are pushing are completely ineffectual and extremely disadvantageous to American standard of living.

To me, climate change/global warming is not a hoax - it is a atmospheric curiosity that deserves sober scientific study.

To me, the DEMOCRAT utilization of it as a political wedge issue is the hoax.

And you only have to look at their utilization of every other 'issue' they campaign on to validate that belief.

add -

poverty

racism

xenophobia

islamophobia

homophobia

to the list of other examples that have 'nothing to do with climate science' ==== except for the common tactics involved.
