(I'm not sure if they believe the problem as much as they believe the solution which, of course, means that gov't has to nationalize portions of the economy to "save us". At the end of the day, it's all about power and control.

Exactly right. I keep telling people that you can insert whatever needs “fixing” into the slot, it always comes back to money and power.
Do they really care about green spotted owls in the wild wild forest? Of course not. Probably read about the “plight” on the evil airplane. All they are after is whipping up a base to get votes.

Just curious and not trying to stir up anything, but is the scam is that it's anthropogenic or just the climate changing in general?


Neither.

The scam is the significance. You notice we have been talking about climate change for 50 years now and the hyperbolic doomsday predictions just keep getting further and further into the future. Originally it was predicted that by the year 2000 humans would drive half of all species extinct.

Nothing that is occurring isn’t inherently out of line (or even out of trend) with natural variation.

It’s only when appended to these predictions that they are portrayed as ominous.

The problem is that it is based on models which are being put forth at the same level of regard as observational evidence, however there is little there for validation.

Let’s ignore the fact that they don’t make accurate predictions when they are fed old data and asked to “extrapolate” towards the present and see if the predictions matched reality.

Never mind that reproducibility is the hallmark of good science.

No one is stopping NYC from turning itself back into the forest it was before Europeans arrived. That might help the temperature.

They should stop all cars from driving in the city. Everyone has to use the metro, walk, or bike. Wall St millionaires that can’t get a cab or Uber would have De Blasio removed from office in hours

It's just a meaningless declaration, nothing but the idiotic Green New Deal paraphrased by a bunch of half-wits.
