As the years pass and data accumulate, it is becoming evident that global warming is a fraud. Climate change is natural and ongoing, but the Earth has not warmed significantly over the last thirty years. Nor has there been a single negative effect of any type that can be unambiguously attributed to global warming.
As I write, satellite data show that the mean global temperature is the same that it was in 1979. The extent of global sea ice is also unchanged from 1979. Since the end of the last Ice Age, sea level has risen more than a hundred meters. But for the last three years, there has been no rise in sea level. If the polar ice sheets are melting, why isn’t sea level rising? Global warming is supposed to increase the severity and frequency of tropical storms. But hurricane and typhoon activity is at a record low.
Every year in the US, more than forty thousand people are killed in traffic accidents. But not one single person has ever been killed by global warming. The number of species that have gone extinct from global warming is exactly zero. Both the Antarctic and Greenland Ice Sheets are stable. The polar bear population is increasing. There has been no increase in infectious disease that can be attributed to climate change. We are not currently experiencing more floods, droughts, or forest fires.
In short, there is no evidence of any type to support the idea that we are entering an era when significant climate change is occurring and will cause the deterioration of either the natural environment or the human standard of living.

Warming? schwarming! Ptooey! ain’t no such thing!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is how our system is supposed to work.
Maybe the melting polar caps water is falling into the World’s overflow hole is why the sea level has not risen? AHEM! maybe we mistook you for a ’scientist’? but found you were a flunky writer instead, lack of evidence you say? Maybe mass extinction of entire species should be a hint there rocket boy, or maybe millions of missing salmon might give you a clue.
We have and are still making a big damn mess out of this planet headlong into self-extinction without global warming, so even if you are a denialist you have to see the damage humanity has done, unless you choose to ignore all that too.
DUH!
