Global Warmers Deny Reality : Climate Change is Ideology, Not Fact

The average person, that works hard every day to make a living and to take care of their families, wonder why so many in our government demand action on a subject, a problem, that has been proven with hard facts, to be manufactured, a lie. And yet the beat goes on for more solutions to problems that don't exist.

It becomes clear when the 'changers' can't point to any tangible effects of climate in peoples lives, the changers pivot away from reality to passed successes claiming future catastrophic destruction if we don't take action immediately. But in reality, debate isn't really about climate change, it's about the money and the control of outcomes - getting it and keeping the power no matter what the facts in the situation are.

As stated on many other occasions, global warming, climate change, isn't a scientific endeavor, it's a faith based religion where no matter how the information goes against them, they will always believe. Little wonder then why the progressive socialists democrats are all in for global warming. Both are infested with mindless fanatics whose only purpose in life is their ideology.

Global Warming Facts versus Claims

Claims that tackling climate change would be cost-effective are nonsense, says Bjørn Lomborg, director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center. Politicians routinely point to global warming as the world's greatest challenge, simultaneously promising that they can solve it with low-cost solutions.
  • U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently called climate change the "greatest challenge of our generation," with catastrophe sure to ensue if the world fails to address the problem.
  • In Europe, a 2006 report commissioned by the British government, the Stern Review, insisted that global warming damage was the equivalent of 5 percent to 20 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), but promised cures that would cost just 1 percent of GDP.
  • And politicians have promised not just low costs to fix the problem, but an abundance of green jobs and energy security.
Unfortunately, this narrative is mostly wrong.
  • The latest report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that global warming has slowed, even stopped, over the last 15 years, and that climate models far exaggerate temperature trends.
  • The IPCC puts its latest temperature rise cost estimates at just 0.2 to 2 percent of GDP.
  • Notably, governments tried to strike this finding from the report, with British, Belgian, Norwegian, Japanese and American politicians wanting it rewritten or deleted altogether.
  • Officials had similar reactions to the IPCC's admission that climate policies would actually be more expensive than previously claimed (costing up to 11 percent of GDP by 2100), again seeking deletion.
Experts have known these truths, but politicians and the media have used exaggerated warming claims to promote poor policies, subsidizing green power with little actual benefit.
