Global climate change

I have two questions about climate change: 1. What is the primary cause of climate change? 2. Who benefits by publishing faulty data?

    Maybe scientists should try, first of all, to deduce the causes of the "Medieval Climatic Anomaly" before they go around pointing fingers at humankind!

    having read some of the article it clearly states that the published information is wrong, so why are the questions necessary?

    Welcome to The Gulch.
    Hopefully, such PC funding will cease with Trump in office.
    If so, such PC funding will resume should the scales of power tilt back to favor the globalist Jackass Party.

    Are you saying, dino, that Rush was implying Gore has a "hole in the head"?

    I agree with those positing the sun as primary cause of climate change, with other contributing factors.

    I was just now researching the Paleolithic Age and came across the Younger Dryas period, when apparently there was an abrupt climate change to a cooler period. Without getting into what consequences that would have had on the evolution of man, I wondered what could have caused it.

    "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary". H. L. Mencken

    Now, "science," using the same concept, has jumped in as rent seekers.

    Climate is primarily determined by to tilt of the Earth's axis, Earth's rotation and whatever the sun's doing.

    Who benefits? Authoritarians looking for excuses for control and scientists looking for excuses more more funding for their studies.

    Check out this Skeptoid episode (https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4549). You can see that the isotopes of the CO2 in our atmosphere prove the excess CO2 is from burning fossil fuels. It does prove that we are adding CO2. Also the wavelength window shows that there is some human caused heating. But none of this proves that governments should expand or that we should spend trillions on inefficient sources of energy.

    Me dino now recalls that, many years ago, Rush Limbaugh once called Al Gore "Ozone Head."

    Your second point is dead on...only it wasn't warming back then. It was a hole in the ozone that was Your fault...when upon further investigation we find that ozone holes have come and gone for 3.5 billion years or close to it...waaaaay before AC.
    They can't even make the case with "Natural" aerosols.

    As far as human contributions to climate...you are correct...highly unlikely...except, perhaps, Geoengineering...ie. cloud seeding, electromagnetic mitigation or what ever...Carried out by Government!...Oh...I forgot, they are not human...at least in the same sense as conscious life is.
    Has government harmed our environment? Yes, but that has no effect upon weather trends over a long, never mind short, period of time.

    1) The Sun...simply put. see: suspicious0bservers.org
    2) The Global kakistocracies, (governments by the worst and least qualified) and their crony connections all to lead a global collective to keep them in control and YOU unaware of what's really happening.
    Not theory, it's observable and they have duplicated their faux theory and have repeated their ruse consistently over history.

    In partial answers to my own questions, I wonder if people are truly significantly influencing the global climate – significant being the important point. From my limited scientific knowledge it seems to me that the Sun is the primary influencer of changing climate and that the efforts of people to make a difference are a bit like “tilting at a windmill.”

    The second point makes me wonder just how honest the climate scientists are. My reference point here is Dupont’s Freon. Just at the time that the patent on Freon was to expire it was ‘discovered’ that Freon was harming the environment by causing global warming and needed to be taken off the market. Lucky for us, Dupont just happened to have a new patent on R-134 refrigerant which would replace Freon and do less harm to the environment. Or maybe it was just a coincidence???
