Climate Change, an idea unsupported by real science, the irony of which is as follows. Though the weather is not a threat to the survival of mankind, his efforts to control the weather just might get the job done anyway. Not counting the lost revenues associated with unrealistic EPA mandates in the form of lost jobs, manufacturing, and industry, we as a nation have already spent hundreds of billions of dollars to fight something that is not there. Now we stand poised to spend possibly trillions more and one might reasonably ask; "what is the eventual reward for all this sacrifice?" The answer though whimsical in the most optimistic terms imaginable, lies in the article below. Which BTW, is well worth one's time to read. :biggrin:


EXCERPT---
"And if we measure the impact of every nation fulfilling every promise by 2030, the total temperature reduction will be just 0.048°C by 2100. Even if we are overly optimistic and assume that every one of these promises would be not only fulfilled but extended for another 70 entire years, and there is no "CO₂ leakage" to non-committed nations, all the Paris promises will achieve is to reduce temperature rises by just 0.17°C by 2100."

And again FTR, mankind just recently achieved the sophistication of instrumentation and discipline necessary to even measure temperature variations as subtle as 0.17 of a degree. But according to your commander-in-chief, we should all be running to a cave somewhere in terror for fear of climate change.
