What a sick joke...'Demand climate change" indeed. As if politicians can change ocean currents or the sun's activity by fiat.

Luckily, Mother Nature is on our side and is giving us a demonstration of her power by dropping temperatures in spite of higher CO2.

The scam is falling apart.

HOORAY!

"Luckily, Mother Nature is on our side and is giving us a demonstration of her power by dropping temperatures in spite of higher CO2."

Your argument would be meaningful if the Sun were still roaring like it was many years ago, rather than going quiet like it did after 2005. You keep talking like we said that temperatures would always go up along with CO2 levels. No, since the Sun is the other driving component of climate change. If it were not for the higher CO2 levels, we should be even colder, like we were in the Little Ice Age.

Here are the global land-ocean temperature readings from the 1880s to this year:

Does that LOOK like we are anywhere near an ice age?
