Have you noticed that most major media outlets and left wig politicos now refer to "catastrophic climate change" rather than "global warming?" I wonder why. Could it be because they realized they are going to get nowhere talking about warming when there are near record lows being recorded in many places. Somehow the "consensus" has been changed by public and political opinion, not by science. Makes you wonder about the validity of the so-called consensus that global warming is caused by humans and must be stopped immediately... Could it perhaps have been driven by power hungry people, as well? No one would ever mention Al Gore again if not for his jetsetting all over the world hypocritically telling people to reduce their carbon footprints? I wonder if Al Gore has ever acknowledged a finding by scientists that is in no way a consensus because there's no political reason to make it one... That the sun is growing slightly hotter. Seems like that might affect temperatures here.
