Climate nonsense

It boggles the mind to realize that there are so many otherwise intelligent people who are still promoting "global warming." I read in the newspaper this morning that scientists have discovered that the Arctic ice floe is the same size as it was in 1979.

I realize that money is the main driving force for the continuing emphasis on fixing global warming; however, the steps these so-called scientists want to proceed with would cost more than they are worth, and ultimately would be destructive to our economy, as well as world economies.

Why is it so hard for people to accept the fact the earth climate system is a cyclical thing. We get warming on parts of the earth

while we are getting cooling on other parts of the earth. That is just the way the Lord planned it. And, of course, the primary driving force in heating or cooling is the sun.

It is not only foolish, but arrogant also, to give puny men credit for causing any significant climate change.
