Climate Change

There is now a group who believes those who deny climate change should be jailed. I want everyone to know that I believe climate change exists. In fact, I see it four times a year at the least and often more frequently.
My problem is with the idea that man has the ability to cause climate change. Just imagine, the southern Arizona desert where I live could be a veritable garden of Eden if man had control In the 48 years I have lived here nothing about the climate has changed to my knowledge. In the 35 years prior to coming to Tucson my life was spent primarily in southern California where the climate remained much the same.
In my 38 years prior to 1971 I cannot recall any discussion of climate change in the media nor other news outlets. The advent of climate change discussion seemed to coincide with the development of the computer. We started to see a few articles in magazines and newspapers warning of a coming ice age i.e.

“U.S. Scientist Sees New Ice Age Coming”  Washington Post  July 9, 1971

“Another Ice Age?”  Time Magazine  June 24, 1974

“Scientists Ask Why World Climate Is Changing:  Major Cooling May Be Ahead.”  New York Times  May 21, 1975

“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”• Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist

“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” • Life Magazine, January 1970

“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years,” he declared. “If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” — Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

In 1990 the summer temperatures were still over 100 degrees in Tucson. It was probably around this time or a little later the scientists discovered CO2 was causing global warming. Sometime during these warnings of death and starvation, the politicians, at the beckoning of the scientific community, set aside billions of dollars for grants to study of climate change creating a huge demand by Universities for  the funds. Many companies seeing the possibility of fortunes being made lobbied congress for regulations requiring CO2 spewing plants to spend billions to clean up their emissions. The auto industry was inundated with emission controls and mileage requirements. This helped drive some manufacturers into bankruptcy. The resulting bailouts of the auto companies and increased costs to the consumers of electricity and hundreds of other items followed. The national debt has increased tremendously while many insiders have made fortunes.
It soon became obvious that all of this money spent had done a fair job of reducing the CO2 and   instead of the arctic and antarctic ice melting, it has actually increased.
In order to keep the grant money flowing the scientists have resorted to computer models that show disastrous climactic disasters occurring in some 50 to 100 years when none of us are around.   Joining  the global climate change fiasco most likely would result in the United States footing 75% percent of the costs.
My objection to computer models is that the scientists input the information to create the model

This information is not the main reason I have my doubts.

What troubles me most is the scientists have arbitrarily picked this two or three hundred year period of time as the norm for a planet and climate system that they themselves reckon to be billions of years old.

This and a few other deceptions are contributing to a coming global government, in my mind.
