Weather cycles are caused by the sun far more so than auto exhaust. Are you saying extreme weather never happened 10 years ago, 100 years ago, a million years ago?
I'm also far more inclined to believe that so-called "climate change" is just another lie fabricated by worldwide socialists to "justify" increased taxation of the eeeevil capitalist producers to insure revenue streams for wealth redistribution.
Nope, not at all. We are actually in more agreement than you think. Natural or man-influenced, doesn't matter to me. The point is we are in a current cycle of extreme weather.
Weather is in cycles to me, and that extreme weather has happened previously, the cold streaks of the 1800s, and the middle ages, and the heat and dust in the 1920-30s.
My point is we are now in another one of those cycles. What caused it is not the point. The main point is ensuring that our weak infrastructure and economy can handle what we are now in an extreme cycle.
How long will this cycle last, no idea. But, we are in one, if you take the last 8-10 years into account.
No one on here can dismiss all of the droughts, crazy storms, and the odd hurricanes we have seen the last decade or so.
The weather in DC the last 5 years, is so freaking odd, breaking so many records in heat, cold, snow, wind, rain, and flooding.
Climate change to me is just the regular cycle of the earth. And we have to adapt our way of lives to it.
