Not dumb at all. CO2 is not pollution. Smartest thing the climate alarmists ever did was shorten it to carbon. Brings to mind black dusty stuff.

The CFCs you brought up earlier was, in fact, pollution and was dealt with to great effect. CO2 is necessary for life as plants convert it to oxygen so we can stay alive. If you do some research, there is lots of scientific data that CO2 levels follow temperature rather than cause it to rise.

Of course climate is changing. It's been changing since the beginning of the Earth's existence. It will continue to change. We have roughly 125 to 150 years of decent data. The planet is billions of years old. Sample size is way too small to declare anything.

Anyone who has been a pilot for any time at all knows a forecast is good for 18 to maybe 30 hours max. Anyone making claims of anything 30 t0 100 years from now is just throwing out a WAG. All the climate models predicting doom over the past few decades have been completely wrong.

Doctors once declared peanut butter causes cancer. Experts are often wrong.
