#1 We should be focusing our attentions and research on any climate swings and what it would take to mitigate the effects. Like what food grows better where? What strains are resistant to drought, heat and cold? How could populations be moved if necessary?

Carbon reduction fights... sorry... capitalist reduction fights and socialist movements are not the answer.

#2 So should we set up something like the Fed, only for global temps instead?

Cows! We need more cows!

#3 WE don't need more cows.... just feed them more broccoli!

#5 We can't control the climate, despite what the libtards say. We can only adjust. Studies into how we can adjust the best would be much better serving to humanity than carbon credits.

#6 Think I prefer warming, thank you very much.

#7 New Ice Age?

Does that mean we should pump much more CO2 into the atmosphere?

Get rid of those wind turbines and solar farms and replace them with dirty coal?

#8 Carbon credits are, and always were, a huge moneymaking scam, Darth.

If we were to scrape that basement to find out who was behind them, we'd find some pretty big rats. Most of the early 'advocates' got in and cashed out fairly quickly before the Ponzi Scheme became apparent to the masses.

#9 The paleo reconstructions (ice cores etc) show large and rapid climate changes over time periods as short as 10 to 20 years. And no one knows why.

It might be solar activity as these Russians think, but that would mean solar variability is much larger than we currently understand.

#10 For Rob C.

Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some lignite with beans
And go out and cut the CC from my cahr
And go to town and buy me new blue jeans

All I got :(

#11 Or, we could just lower the ocean.

Climate change created the Bahamas - they were once coral reefs. There are ancient beaches in California, 300 feet above sea level. Climate changes; get used to it!
