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

You have some HUGE trophy by now then!

I want to add to mine it's based on an extremely small recorded data set. "Reliable" recorded weather data barely gets back to the American Civil War.

To attempt to draw conclusions based on that (and, regardless of tree rings and ice core samples, this is the main component to the theory) is similar to the group of blind men attempting to describe the elephant by touch.

Then you believe in a conspiracy

Do you deny that both government agencies as well as scientists around the globe have been caught falsifying data to intentionally paint a picture?

And when all of that data is thrown into the garbage the real data still points to the conclusion that anthropological climate change is real.

Do you deny that opposition to climate change was initiated by big oil?

Well, the known fact that climate scientists adjusted the raw data they collected to support their hypothesis for one. That's not science. That's fraud.

OK so finally to your article

In the summer of 2015, NOAA scientists published the Karl study, which retroactively altered historical climate change data and resulted in the elimination of a well-known climate phenomenon known as the “climate change hiatus.” The hiatus was a period between 1998 and 2013 during which the rate of global temperature growth slowed. This fact has always been a thorn in the side of climate change alarmists, as it became difficult to disprove the slowdown in warming.

Obviously this is terrible and data like this should be completely discarded. And I have no problem with entities making these claims to be audited to make sure that falsified data is completely thrown out.

And with the falsified data completely discarded the real data reaches the conclusion that climate change is real and humans are causing it.

Except the "science" that said secondhand smoke was a real thing right?

MPG requirements for auto manufacturers have changed. So that's a solution that isn't taxes. That's a tax, for all intents and purposes.

And if the problem is climate change, it’s also not a solution.
