There is plenty of evidence that our climate goes hot and cold in long cycles. Harvard and Princeton researchers published a study in "Nature" that demonstrates that about 120,000 years ago the climate was much warmer and the sea level about twenty feet higher than it is now. Guess what? There were no coal-fired power plants then, no SUV's, but it was hotter. The marxists are using a naturally occuring phenomenon as the pretense for a power grab, a pretense to take our money and our freedom.
Natural climate change in the past proves that climate is sensitive to an energy imbalance. If the planet accumulates heat, global temperatures will go up. Currently, CO2 is imposing an energy imbalance due to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Past climate change actually provides evidence for our climate's sensitivity to CO2.
Fundamental physics and global climate models both make testable predictions as to how the global climate should change in response to anthropogenic warming. Almost universally, empirical observations confirm that these 'fingerprints' of anthropogenic global warming are present.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are rising by 15 gigatonnes per year. Humans are emitting 26 gigatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Humans are dramatically altering the composition of our climate.
The CO2 that nature emits (from the ocean and vegetation) is balanced by natural absorptions (again by the ocean and vegetation). Therefore human emissions upset the natural balance, rising CO2 to levels not seen in at least 800,000 years. In fact, human emit 26 gigatonnes of CO2 per year while CO2 in the atmosphere is rising by only 15 gigatonnes per year - much of human CO2 emissions is being absorbed by natural sinks.
When CO2 emissions are compared directly to CO2 levels, there is a strong correlation in the long term trends. This is independently confirmed by carbon isotopes which find the falling ratio of C13/C12 correlates well with fossil fuel emissions.

It’s a matter of opinion on humor, and it is creepy. I think it was done with intentional humor and not meant to be their literal intentions.
However, it does send a message that we are all in this boat together and should address those who don't care about our future. I think we all own an even share of the air we breath and others are ruining it for all of us.

So tell me what is causing the temperatures to rise throughout the solar system?
However, does that make it okay to force people to act like you and chose your action over no action? The video might be trying to do dark humor but as I have stated people do use dark humor as a threat.

The globalist elite have decided to spearhead the global warming campaign by means of violent brainwashing after having been repeatedly discredited for the hoax they have perpetrated.
This is tantamount to ecofascism, where 'saving the environment' is used as a vehicle to pursue the dreaded neo-eugenics agenda, where people who disbelieve the climate change hoax are to be imprisoned or killed.
Remember the Nazis? They used environmentalism to control the German people.
Now history is repeating itself, on a more macabre level.

Then the sun causes temperature to rise on earth, just a guess right?
Mankind is not responsible for GW or climate change whatever the name/flavor of the week is now. In the 70’s it was an ice age on the way now we are all going to melt.
People are jumping all over the GW train that will derail.
The lies are the science that blames people for GW. Let’s forget that the entire universe is heating up though, certainly that would have no effect on earth.

In the last 35 years of global warming, the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. Sun and climate have been going in opposite directions. In the past century, the Sun can explain some of the increase in global temperatures, but a relatively small amount.
There are three fundamental flaws in the 'other planets are warming' argument. Not all planets in the solar system are warming. The sun has shown no long term trend since 1950 and in fact has shown a slight cooling trend in recent decades. There are explanations for why other planets are warming.
Martian climate is primarily driven by dust and albedo and there is little empirical evidence that Mars is showing long term warming.

What is the average percentage of co2 in our atmosphere today?
What is the so called dangerous level?
What is the increase between the two?
In the past co2 continues to increase AFTER the cooling cycle starts. It then falls after a period. The same happens with warming. The climate warms and the co2 continues to fall for a peroid then rises. The co2 levels follow the temparature cycle.
Why is this?
When the Earth comes out of an ice age, the warming is not initiated by CO2 but by changes in the Earth's orbit. The warming causes the oceans to give up CO2. The CO2 amplifies the warming and mixes through the atmosphere, spreading warming throughout the planet. So CO2 causes warming AND rising temperature causes CO2 rise.
