What you are suggesting here is that the proposition that CO2

This rhetorical tactic is common in social sciences, and thus

Things we are doing now that seem to cost a lot of money are things like the
waste on accreditation. Waste on politically correct courses and curricula.
Waste on unnecessary administration to cover every little contingency that
could come up and unnecessary waste on useless fixed assets like
like Walmart and McDonalds. Lots of people work
8+ hours per say 50 weeks a year, like say my Dad, and had no problem
raising a family and contributing to the community. This whole thing is

Global warming is a ruse. There is no evidence contemporary global
warming will cause sea level rise, for example. Sea levels are pretty
high anyways. warm the atmosphere, more water goes into the air, more is
cycled onto land. Will sea levels rise? Will it make some great

The answer is much simpler. The Theory of Evolution explains those data.
No other theory does. Someone wants to propose another theory to explain
