Climate change was a way to unite countries who otherwise would have balked at the idea, they are all now united on a single front. Now the world economy is failing, follow the dots. Global or one world monetary system. not far behind that a global or one world government.

Like many, you are locked into an ideological position, not a factual position. Good luck.

To little to late, they have already risked their careers backingit, to go back on that now would ruin them. No credibility at all ever again.

Believe it or not there used to be many. But, threats of loss of tenure, loss of grants for research, have influenced many to join the growing ranks and support the current theory. Whether they really believe it or not, they will not risk their professional careers going against it.

Anyway, I challenge to validate that statement with evidence.

It is simply not true.

No scientific body of national or international standing is known to reject the basic findings of human influence on recent climate.

We cannot change the way the earth revolves or tilts these are major factors in climate. That and the sun and we have no more control over the sun than we do the earth. climate shifts are part of that. I am sorry your precious scientists choose to ignore the facts, just as some people choose to ignore the scientists.

Has nothing to do with what the planet does all by itself.

So you say that the current climate change is natural?

If so, find a scientific agency or organization that agrees with your viewpoint.

Answer:

There are 6.7 billion people on the planet today.

There were only a tiny fraction of that number during the last major climatic change.
