You skipped the day they taught reading comprehension at school,,,huh?
The whole second part of the article that you posted, was how those sites were only proposed, many were dead, and that it was up to governments and politicians to decide if they really want them.

I would love to know what trillions and billions of dollars are being bilked from citizens.
Except that it is in the government's own best interest to not have GW.
The disasters and health issues that are being created and will be created will cost far more than any revenue that can be had from GW. We are looking at costs into the trillions.
So any argument about wanting regulation and making money from imaginary taxes and carbon credits will be far offset by the trillions it will cost to clean up after disasters.

But hey whatever tow the party line.
That makes everything 'right'.

The UN is getting trillions to fight "climate change". That money doesn't grow on trees, it comes from citizens' pockets.

Your source's misunderstanding and misinterpretation of several phenomena is pretty strong but the idea that varying levels of cosmic radiation affect cloud formation has been around for a while. There is, however, not much evidence to support it.
Regarding the study by Knudsen and Riisager. They find a correlation between the strength of the magnetic field and precipitation at low latitudes. It is important to remember that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. But Whether or not cosmic rays influence cloud formation, there is a problem in associating the current warming trend with the decrease in the strength of the magnetic field.
The idea is that an increase in cosmic radiation (due to a weakened magnetic field) may lead to increased cloudiness and therefore precipitation. Now, precipitation comes from low level clouds. Low level clouds reflect light back into space. This would result in a cooling effect, not a warming effect. In fact there are geo-engineering proposals about enhance the ability of low level clouds to do this in order to counteract warming due to CO2.

Didn't realize that reading comprehension was a party issue.
Fortunately, that is a problem that is easily remedied with a few continuing education courses.

Well I guess here in the south will have to give a finger to all the profiteers of clima change as we are experiencing one of the coldest winters in decades
The irony, I guess here in the south people will be calling Obama a liar once again.

What a effing joke.
Government only does what they want in their own interest.
That is abundantly clear.
The disasters and health issues that are being created and will be created will cost far more than any revenue that can be had from GW. We are looking at costs into the trillions.
Yeah well the way I see it that man caused disaster called the US government does worse that costs more revenue, that is currently costing this nation TRILLIONS.
So any argument about wanting regulation and making money from imaginary taxes and carbon credits will be far offset by the trillions it will cost to clean up after disasters.
Imaginary taxes ?
Looked at the GD price of gas lately, or the cost of heating and cooling homes.
The increase of goods and services across the board from them so called 'imaginary' taxes.
It is every single person's best interest to not have to lay out that kind of candy. Not to mention lives lost and infrastructure interrupted
Go live in N. Korea and tell me how bad the US is. People who have actually lived in dictatorships, would think you a whiney brat. Besides, trying to deflect that you have nothing to support your skeptical case against GW by turning it into a tirade against the US government won't go unnoticed by me.
Gas is a state tax. Cost of heating and cooling is by private companies as driven by the cost of oil which is a commodity.
The increase costs of goods and services has nothing to do with GW, and has everything to do with corporations being insanely greedy and squeezing every penny they can from the public.

I reread and it still means nothing.
How do they know what the weather patterns were like before humans? sure they can guess but doesn't make them right, hell they are still learning about the oceans.
