A number of assumptions are taken on faith in most discussions that surround "climate change."


The acquiescence of scientists to the bullying by the crowd insisting on global warming orthodoxy -- that anthropogenic-caused climate change will destroy the earth unless we submit ourselves to government and allow tyranny to save us is despicable. We are doomed unless we surrender to a certain political class who knows the "green way?" This is not only ridiculous, it is dangerous to liberty.


There is no doubt that there are cycles of climate change; we have the evidence in polar drillings, even in aged trees that tell a scientific story of cooling and warming. But the cycles are caused entirely from sun spots and solar activity. Climate change is something that humans can do less about than they can about a thunderstorm. We are tilting at windmills at the expense of the common man and private property.


The drillings tell us another story about global warming -- that CO2 follows warming, rather than preceding it. This appears to be a smoking gun. Some astrophysicists have even pondered that CO2 release by Mother Nature during warming is a natural thermostat -- after all, isn't CO2 in solid form dry ice?


The priests of climate change (used to be global warming -- but climate change sounds better when you turn out to be wrong) try to intimidate the rest of us to take on faith that CO2 causes global warming when there is a dispute that CO2 is a pollutant.
