The whole climate change nonsense is a scam. Not one prediction they have made has occurred. It has become the new religion. It is designed to redistribute wealth amongst nations & make those in renewables rich. The sun flares do more to affect the climate on earth than anything man can do. Actually co2 greens the earth. It is a fact that the ice is getting thicker at the poles not thinner. Al gore said that by now it would have all melted. The biggest scam perpetrated on people to destroy our economy.

The IPCC has been consistently wrong in its predictions for the last 30 years. Climate variability is a natural process. The science is not settled on the causal factors and the models are poor representations of the process (in terms of cloud and water vapour impact which are far more significnat than CO2). Hence the continuous over forecasting of the rate of temperature rise and inability to predict the lull in the early 2000. The IPCC is a politically motivated body deriving funding from the catastrophy claims of its work. A more balanced perspective with recognition of the middle ground needs to be considered rather than the polarisation created by the media and climate change advocates sensationalisation of weather events.

Majority of climate change is governed by the sun. Bad science to argue co2 a minor gas has been discovered as the key to climate change, when the interactions and models are all incorrect, using a flawed global data set for trmperatures. A political approach to force change, distribute wealth and control populations. See Prof. Lindzen (world recognized authority on climate) refutation of the IPCC pronouncements. More solar research on the impacts on earth from the sun, and galactic cosmic rays.

Climate change is real but not caused by omissions. Our climate is continually changing as a natural science and has been this way since the beginning of time. We will always have droughts, storms, floods, heat and cold as this is Earths science. We need to respect and understand the very delicate nature of our precious Earth. Ceasing Coal power stations will not change our climate. These Climatologists are just scaremongerers and solar businesses, individuals and Countries are making a lot of money out of using these tactics, especially brainwashing our younger generations. Wake up Australia! Read 'I Love a Sunburnt Country'.

Climate change is real but only in the sense that it's a cycle that alternates over thousands of years, Since records have been kept, the data shows no real change in the short term. Severe storms and extremely hot days existed 60-100 years ago. Predictions of no more rain has been wrong as has the rise in sea level mumbo jumbo. Now it's that crazzy where the "experts" are advising us not to eat meat. It's become a case of political correctness to believe in "Climate Change". What ever happened to the hole in the ozone layer "science". That was all going to be doom and gloom. It never happened so it was forgotten about. There are many scientists who don't go for the short term "Climate Change" Voodoo but they don't the attention that alarmists do. One last point. "Climate Change" used to be called "Global Warming". It was given its current name when it was realised that, in the 70's, the alarmists were saying that the planet was slowly freezing!!!!

The hotter it gets, the more evaporation of the ocean waters. Clouds form reflecting back the heat of the sun, more rain which does some cooling. It is a natural phenomena. The earth temperatuture is not aconstant and varies and can take a loing time to either go up or down.Compare it to the house wive's iron. If you set it at a certain tempearature say 200 degrees it will vary between 180 and 220 degrees. the same with the earth. all the screaming is from the so called scientists who know better, but want better funding.
