No one is talking about Climate change or global warming any more. All of the news people are very careful not to draw any connections between all of the record fires, droughts, floods, tornadoes, etc. etc. and climate change, even though this type of behavior is exactly what all of the climate scientists predicted would happen.
The fossil fuel industry has done a very good job of making people think that all of this climate change stuff is a big conspiracy. They hired the same people that the tobacco Industry hired to spread doubt about the health effects of tobacco, and they are using the same tactics.
The trouble though is that the evidence keeps mounting up. The ice caps are melting. We are having all of these extreme weather events, and despite the voices from the media that are saying don't think about this now. It is sort of like being told Don't think about an elephant. Once told that it is impossible.
Here are some other interesting things not ot think about. The climate deniers say that humans aren't causing all of these extreme events. It is the sun spots or some other nonsense. The only thing is that the 11 year solar cycle is just coming out of a decline and will now start increasing it's radiation. But them scientists don't really understand how tha sun effects the climate. After all the radiation reaching the earth only varies by .1% and the decline in the UV radiation is often offset by an increase in the visible radiation.
http://www.skepticalscience.com/solar-cy...Another thing not to worry about is that even though the Chinese have increased their coal plants by 800 % in the last 10 years with a huge increase in CO2, most of the effects of the increase in CO2 is being masked by the Sulfur they have been pumping into the air. The atmospheric sulfur shades the earth so it isn't as hot. Unfortunately atmospheric sulfur results in unpleasant things like acid rain, acidification of the oceans, and photo chemical smog which kills people. SO the Chinese are going to start using pollution controls in their coal plants to cut back the sulfur pollution and then the earth will get hotter because it will no longer be shaded by the sulfur.
