re: Let just be honest on why Republicans deny climate change

Let's just be honest in why Liberals twist words to make Republicans sound dumb...
Most republicans believe in climate change. Many are skeptical about the cause. The earth's climate has always been changing (warming and cooling), with or without man / industrialization.

Fossil fuels have done an immense amount of good for the world. Oil and gas have greatly improved quality of life, increased economic productivity, have made traveling to visit friends and family across vast expanses around the world both possible and affordable, have rendered possible the ability to leave earth and explore the solar system and universe, and have increased the lifespan of billions. Oil and gas and the internal combustion engine is arguably one of the most important innovations since the Enlightment era and it continues to support life on this planet, enabling it to thrive and improve. It has also benefited American entrepreneurs and workers and has allowed us to become self sufficient.
This is not say that this doesn't come with an environmental cost. We should look to understand what it is, look to manage it, and explore alternative sources of energy insofar as they become economically viable. But we should have context... slowing down economic growth leads to increased human suffering, lower quality of life globally, and reduced prosperity domestically.
This is a complex issue that most are not mature enough or intellectually capable of trying to understand.

so, you wont admit to something obvious because they wont either? thats rather childish.

Let's be honest on why Leftists/Globalists push for climate change regulations. They want to control us

Then why would Republicans not admit, "I'm ok with pollution and contributing to climate change if it means I don't pay more in taxes?" Denying it exists seems like a stupid way of arguing against taxes.
I don’t think anyone is “ok” with screwing up the planet with pollution - you are on a different topic than climate change.

If climate change is real, that means more regulation on pollution which means a shift away from fossil fuel production. I wish Republicans would just grow a pair and admit "we're ok with pollution if it creates jobs" rather than denying it exists altogether.

Why don't we call it Global Warming anymore?

Big bad hurricanes are nothing new bubbehleh. Read your history of the colonial period
Will you admit that it is nothing but a scheme to separate more of us from more of our money so that you can control the population and turn us all into wards of the state and thus we become sheeple?

Why use terms like "deny" when referring to my stance on the climate? I'll never deny scientific data. So why use such antagonistic titles?
Why won't the other side apologize for the ridiculous predictions they've made over the years? Those have retarded progress more than anything else

I deny man made global warming because I studied it for 10 years before I came on this board. The warmists kept getting caught falsifying data. Every time they got caught they said 'Well, this time we're telling the truth.' Then they got caught again.

Prove yourself right. Will be hard to do considering your OP is just a theory.

Here's my deal with 'anthropological climate change' . Let's say, for the sake of argument, that man's actions, in regard to pollution, have caused climate change and an increased global temperature. If we accept that, then we can logically say that by reversing or correcting those actions, we could cause a resulting cooling, right? Logic and all... Now, if we've established that man can warm up, or cool down the world, who controls the thermostat? Who decides the 'correct' global temperature? I would imagine those at the equator would have a strong argument for cooling, while those in Siberia could probably go for some warming.
Of course, volcanoes\solar flares\natural global temperature swings, etc...

I thought it was called man-made global warming? What happened to that term? Does it not apply anymore?

I'd love to hear how you, personally, are qualified to make this assertion.
I hold PHds in chemistry, geology, and environmental sciences and I have worked in both the private sector and government controlled projects to study the effects of human's impact on the environment specifically long lasting effects on climate.
What are your credentials, personally, to dispute me?

Finally one man with common sense. You other yoyos should take note.

I don't think anyone can or has argued the climate isn't changing. The argument is when 99.999999999999% is due to the big orange ball in the sky and other uncontrollable issues why would we ruin an economy for the 0.0000000000001% that MAY be man made?
Plus when the vast, vast majority of the (if it exists) man made portion would be contributed by parties who won't abide by any terms of any reduction agreement why do it?

I wish the communists of the 70's who now call themselves environmentalists would grow a pair and admit this is all about redistributing wealth.
The Paris climate accord was intended to redistribute money from the haves to the have nots.
Climate change is simply a means to the end.
