Politics just a bunch of hot air

I agree with James Miller that global warming shouldn't be a political issue. It's a scientific issue, and the science says carbon dioxide has never regulated temperatures on Earth. Climatic data show that temperature increases first, triggering a natural rise in carbon dioxide and has done so in many cycles. Temperatures change because of changes in solar irradiance, not dirty air. The idea that we need to cut carbon emissions or face catastrophe is a political idea without scientific merit.
