Changes

While on the one hand, [[secular]] scientists (and those who believe in a [[old earth]]) claim "'''''Climate change occurs naturally'''''" in repeated cycles of cooling and warming (known as the Milankovitch theory), they occasionally argue that man-made climate change can occur and is more impactful. {{See also|Ice Age}} (a period of cold [[atmosphere|atmospheric]] worldwide temperatures and intense [[precipitation]] that followed the [[Noah's Flood|the worldwide flood]])

Many writers have been urging America to fund an ill-conceived initiative to "stop global warming" as if warmer nights or winters would make human life more difficult. The term "climate change" has largely replaced the term "global warming", in ideological discussions.

Ideologues insist that the world's top scientists have reached a "consensus" that most of the warming which land-based weather stations have recorded in the last century is due to human activity. The basis for this claim is a set of reports published by the [[IPCC]], an agency of the United Nations. The assumption is that the government-appointed representatives who run the IPCC would be completely objective and neutral, and would place finding and revealing the truth ahead of any nationalistic interests.

One of the major problems with many scientists' conclusions about climate change is a misunderstanding of [[correlation]] versus [[causation]]. Some studies show correlations between increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases and increasing [[precipitation]], and between human activity and atmospheric greenhouse gases, and then go so far as to conclude that humans are causing increased rain, snow, and catastrophic flooding.<ref>Gillis, Justin.

This is especially true considering the relatively short periods of data used (a few decades at most) compared to the Earth's age, and the fact that weather patterns have been cyclic throughout history (see [[climate cycles]]).

Climate change is neither anthropogenic nor apocalyptic. [[Douglas Pollock]] comments that 95% of greenhouse gases are water vapor. 3.6% of these gases are CO₂.

Of the gases in the atmosphere, 0.04% is CO₂; only 0.01% is generated by humans. All greenhouse gases represent 1% of the gases.

Carbon dioxide is the gas of life; it is vital for life. in fact, the earth has greened between 1982 and 2014 by 15% and the Sahara has shrunk by 300 thousand km2.<ref>[https://odysee.com/globalwarming:4 The Truth about Climate Change, Global Warming and United Nations Mafia - by [[Douglas Pollock]], a scientist recognized by Donald Trump]</ref>

In the Middle Ages there was a warm period on earth. instead of being detrimental, it was beneficial, as fewer people died from cold (cold kills 20 times more than heat). the greatest cathedrals and castles in history were built (including Notre Dame).

In the last 8 glaciations, CO₂ has been at its maximum level and in the warmings at its minimum.
