The climate alarmists remind of 2001 (9/11 in particular) when republican Bush 43 became president after eight years of democrat Bill Clinton despite the effort of the Florida Supreme Court to steal the election for Gore. The elite Bush-haters got up a document (close to 100 signers if memory serves) actually accusing Bush of being in on the crumbling of the WTC. Think Gen. Wesley Clarke. Currently, the Trump-haters are blaming Trump for not doing something to stop the earth from burning, ergo, being in on the melting/burning, whatever, a very wicked man.
More to the point is the arrogance of the alarmists, who, despite no significant success in connecting CO2, man-made or otherwise, to climate change, are determined to force the U.S. into even more regulations. Their ability to make measurements, charts and demonstrably proven inaccurate computer models does not deter them. For people of faith, God created the cosmos according to his design, which indicates that God and not man controls the sun’s locus and sphere of influence, including the earth, the clearer implication being that God, not man, controls the earth. The simple fact that climate has changed throughout history under diverse conditions, sometimes radically according to the experts (industrialization or not, for instance), means that outside (God’s) forces, not men’s forces, change earth’s fundamental conditions. This is why the sunspot theory is eminently superior to the man-made stuff regarding the climate. The sunspots are of God while man-made stuff is of man, who can’t create anything, only uses the elements God has already created. Both sunspot and man-made explanations are just theories, as is the tectonic theory for explaining earthquakes. The diameter of the earth is 7,926 miles at the equator (40 less pole to pole), but the deepest hole ever drilled (Kola Peninsula—Russia) went down 7.6 miles, a distance so miniscule by comparison that man has no idea what the interior comprises, whether tectonic plates or anything else. He can only theorize and conjecture as to earth’s inner temperature, for instance. So…every man to his own common sense or presuppositions concerning the climate. He can’t prove a thing, though the sunspot approach makes far more sense, common or otherwise.
Of course, the ambitious anthropologist comes along occasionally with his mind-boggling discovery of the “missing link” only to admit a bit later that his newest batch of bones turns out to be just another orangutan or Cro-Magnon creature, after all. One wonders if God laughs or is just plain disgusted at all the efforts man makes to prove himself smarter than the Creator, ferreting out all the secrets like osmosis, for instance, or why cigar smoke still makes me drool 60 years after smoking my last one.
