The earth is still recovering from the last ice age. Those glaciers weren’t always there, melting ice reveals artifacts every year. The earth goes through cycles and a human lifespan is way too short to reveal long term changes.

Uh, you are right, I should have watched it....she is right.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
I'm a meteorologist - have been for 40+ years. When Al Gore first came out announcing "global warming", I told my wife to watch - the biggest political and financial scam ever is unfolding in front of our eyes.
Everyone here should understand that when the dinosaurs roamed the earth and bugs were the size of Dobermans, North America had a tropical climate - HOT and humid!
Everyone here should also realize that occasionally, (roughly every 100,000 years) we have an ice age, with glaciers covering most of North America.
These swings in climate have been going on for millions of years - with NO input from industrial carbon dioxide. Our last ice age (called a glacial maximum) ended 11,000 years ago. WE'VE BEEN WARMING UP EVER SINCE.
Of course, there have been pauses, and even some reversals (look up the "little ice age" that occurred from the 1500's to the 1800's). The trend line of global temperatures looks like the Dow Jones index in a bad year.
Carbon dioxide IS a greenhouse gas, and it DOES have an influence. But it's a TINY influence, much less than other factors. The only reason the political left is hyping carbon dioxide is because it's a convenient boogeyman - easy to tax, easy to demonize ("Look at those big, bad coal plants spewing smoke into our beautiful environment!") - and it has the merest hint of scientific truth behind it.
Let me ask you a question: if you shot a 153gr bullet in your 7mm mag, would it travel faster than if you used a 154gr bullet? The simple answer is yes, maybe.
Maybe? Well, of course, it's a scientific fact that if the same pressure is acting on a lighter bullet, that bullet will travel faster.
But it depends on if you used the same shape bullet of the same construction, the same brand of brass case with the exact same neck tension and powder capacity, the same primer made in the same factory on the same day, the same powder from the same factory batch that you somehow were able to PERFECTLY match in number of grains poured into the case, in the same barrel in exactly the same condition of cleanliness and chamber temperature, fired at the same elevation in an atmosphere of exactly the same pressure, temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed.
Now think of CO2 as the 153gr bullet. Does it make a difference? Theoretically, yes. In reality? About as much as spitting in your bathtub.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing -- Edmund Burke
Colossians 3:17 (New King James Version) "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
climate change is natural and has been occuring since the beginning of time. The false parts are that is cause by humans and that we can fix it. Nothing but lies.
