re: What are your reasons for believing climate change is "a hoax"

See. Here's my thing. There's no doubt in my mind climate is likely changing.

But, the left has caused the subject to abandon REAL science so much at this point, there's almost nothing else I can "know" on the subject.

There are several things that just make the whole thing HIGHLY problematic.

1. All of the "solutions" appear to coincide with shite the left has wanted FOREVER. That's just mighty convenient.

2. There is literally no discussion of significance regarding the VARIABLE effects of climate change. I mean, look, NOTHING is 100% negative in its results. I mean, there's no doubt that Earth warmed up a LOT after the Irish potato famine.......but for frick's sake, THAT was a good thing. So, if you can't talk to me about the pros and cons, then, I know you're agenda driven.

3. There's basically zero discussion of the comparable costs/benefits of DEALING with climate change vs trying to avoid it. This is important because:

A) They're telling us that even if we do EVERYTHING they want, it's probably too late to stop all of it.......but it's going to cost an arse LOAD of money

B) It may well be that the cost of dealing with it is far less than the cost of trying to avoid it.

And all of this is before we even discuss the fact that they're so attached to it at this point that they've made it pretty much sacrilege to study anything that opposes the dogma. Which, of course, causes you to no longer really be science anymore.
