Here is a list of dozens of scientists who understand that climate change is not the problem people think it is:

Please go to this link and watch the attached video, created by a geologist. He does an outstanding job of explaining why climate(s) in certain regions are changing and how those changes have nothing to do with “man’s crimes against the planet”.

The video takes about an hour to watch, in its entirety but it’s well worth it.

Plate climatology
A retired geologist who says in the intro, "Now I'm not here today to prove that this theory is correct. Nor am I here today to prove that the global warming climate change theory is incorrect."

I've only watched the first 10 minutes. It's an interesting theory, and still most scientists agree on human caused climate change. He admits that he's not disagreeing with it, just that there might be ANOTHER contributing factor. So even if his theory is correct, we're still adding fuel to the fire.

From the author, "The intent of the phrases “this study concludes” or “this study proves” presented in many of the Plate Climatology Theory articles is the authors way of indicating that other study data, graphs, phrases, hypotheses and conclusions have been used by the author to formulate his own points of view, hypotheses and conclusions.
...
This is the authors best legal attempt to clear the air with those who disagree with the Plate Climatology Theory."


He's deliberately misrepresenting other studies, but hey, he's got a disclaimer!

The climate has been cyclical since creation.



- How much man affects that is questionable.



- Arguing over its causes has become a distraction from the real issue; each of our personal responsibilities as individuals, industries, and governments to do our part to clean up and prevent pollution.



- The carbon credit crowd has learned how to create hysteria among their supporters so they can profiteer from the issue rather than fix it.

Yes I'm sure the carbon credit crowd is wildly more profitable than the fossil fuel crowd

True! And we're way out of sync with that cycle.

if the ice age they taught us about when I was a kid that was supposed to be here by now is delayed a century or two, I’m all for it.
the question for climatologists is, what would the climate be like now if it were “in sync”? they can’t answer that or confirm that it would be any different than it is.

the comparison is foolish. the fact is carbon-credits profit a few organizations and do nothing to reduce pollution or improve air quality. we all agree that the environment needs to be protected, but carbon credits are a scam and have become nothing more than virtue-signaling to show some sort of false social superiority.
