    We need to control the people that promoted the global warming lie.

    we do NOT control the climate. We contribute a very small amount to the atmosphere. Compared to animals and volcanoes, human co2 contribution is very small. Besides, co2 has been shown not to be a major climate driver because temperatures in the troposphere, which is where weather occurs, hasnt shown to have changed significantly. If greenhouse gases were causing warming, we would see more changes there. co2 changes actually FOLLOWS temperature changes by about 500 years or so, its not the other way around. The reason for this is that the ocean is the major contributor and absorber of co2 and it takes about 500 years for the ocean to warm and cool. Temperature, however, has been shown to be much more closely correlated with solar activity, which we, of course, have no control of. Because it is political and social suicide to say we are not causing global warming, people continue to blindly insist we are the cause, while we are definitely not.

    I think it was climate that led us to the invention of the ceiling fan and the Air Conditioner.

    We don't control anything but other people.

    Through fear, intimidation, money, threats, law, or indoctrination/advertisements/propaganda (in what may "loosely" be referred to as education, re-education, brain-washing, programing).

    Heil Hitler (for example)

    We are at the mercy of the planet, if it wants to be cold it's going to get cold, if it wants to be hot it's going to get hot. Not a thing we can do about it.

    If you are referring to indoors, the first one. If outdoors, the latter

  • We are very good at micro climates, not so good with macro climates.
