So again, let me get this straight. Most Scientists agree,
Propaganda technique 5
5. TESTIMONIAL: When some respected celebrity (or alternatively someone generally hated) claims that an idea or product is good (or bad). This technique is used to convince us without examining the facts more carefully.
And 7
7. BAND WAGON: This common propaganda method is when the speaker tries to convince us to accept their point of view or else we will miss out on something really good. The Band-Wagon technique is often used in advertising. Examples: "This is the wave of the future", "Be the first on your block", "Act Now!". You might ask yourself "What if I was the only one on my block because no one else was interested (duped)?".

So you believe it's happening but that it's just a natural process and man has nothing to do with speeding it up or anything???
Plus you disagree with the Political Agenda of using it to tax people and businesses with the idea that they should be helping the environment and not polluting and stuff??

They want slaves, until the battle is over, and now they take credit for Lincoln being a Republican. They fight Civil Rights until they lose, and now they take credit for that. Can't we just jump ahead to the future where you lose this battle too, and now take credit for embracing clean energy and saving the planet?

You have posted zero sources to back up YOUR claims.
Climate change being a normal cyclical part of Earth is a FACT.
To all of you so worried about climate change being man-made send YOUR money in and leave mine alone.
I'm all for reducing pollution and waste and getting off fossil fuels.
I'm not for bogus man made climate change quit driving your car to work malarky.
No one can deny climate change occurs. Simply look at history. Ice Ages and heat waves regularly occur.
What you and everyone else can deny is that humans cause it

Can't we just fast forward to the next Republican shift "No one is denying this is man made... The science is clear... But Democrats would have you believe blah blah blah..."? You know... the next inevitable step in acceptance while still pointing at Democrats as the problem.
I don't care if Republicans ultimately take credit. I think their ego and party survival probably depends on it. That's fine... let's just move on to the next phase in acceptance. Stop with the dumb anti-science.
As far as Obama's 'laugh'... He knows the opposition is siding with stupidity. And he knows THEY know it too. Clearly Republicans believe that most Americans are stupid. This is about winning elections after all, and Republicans are betting on 'stupid' anti-science, religious, xenophobic America.
Thankfully, it's been a losing side.
