I'm not saying we should eliminate coal or every carbon-based energy consumer or producer. That's illogical right now. I think we should do what we can to reduce, through creating clean and efficient burning technologies and substitute where applicable. We need to acknowledge that we are having a negative impact on our environment and ecosystem (we as in humans, not Americans) and make a legitimate effort to significantly cut dirty carbon emissions.

Not believing in global warming is just plain ridiculous. It's obvious you are following your political party's lead.
Fact: 97.4% of scientists believe in GW and that humans are the cause or accelerating the process. (Yet somehow armchair republicans know better?)
Fact: what was 250 parts per million in CO2 and methane pre industrial revolution, is now 400 parts per million.
When you say it is a lie or a hoax you just sound crazy or completely incapable of accepting an unemotional and logical factual analysis. You are also saying that every scientist is somehow in on some grand design to do what?
When you fart in a room it stinks and it has an adverse effect. This isnt rocket surgery

Global Climate change isn't a theory. Not believing in global warming is just plain ridiculous.

Yeah. Right. OK.
...and Trump is never going to be the President, either. You can keep your doctor if you like your doctor. ISIS is a JV team. There is a red line in Syria. Experience doesn't matter. Babies in the womb aren't babies. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Ho hum.
Don't you people ever get tired of your lies being proven wrong time after time after time?
Fortunately, the American people are tired of them. It's why your ilk has been returned to the political fringe where it came from and you now only control the governor's mansion and legislatures in just 4 states (2 more must cast tie-breaking votes).
Abe Lincoln said it best...
"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."
Enjoy regulating cow farts in La La Land.

Don't worry, kiddo. It's possible (not to be confused with probable) that at least one of you wackos' predictions will come true. Someday.
Meantime, you've got cow farts to stop. Better hurry or we're all gonna die.

This quote alone negates you're credibility and ability to have a cogent debate. 'North Korea'? That is a first! By the way, where are all the killer hurricanes hitting the East Coast? It has been a very slow decade for hurricanes contrary to the predictions of Al Gore and his ilk.

The study reporting the 97% consensus “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature” by John Cook, and friends under the halo of the University of Queensland was published in 2013 and according to Watts Up With That when the source data for the study was published on line the University of Queensland got so worried, they threatened a lawsuit over use of Cook’s ’97% consensus’ data for a scientific rebuttal.
The way the study was conducted was Cook and his buddies looked at peer reviewed studies and classified them a either agreeing or disagreeing with the hypothesis. The 97% figure was really 97% of the studies they reviewed. However investigative journalists at Popular Technology reported the 97% Study falsely classifies scientists’ papers, according to the scientists that published them
Popular Tech. looked into precisely which papers were classified within Cook’s asserted 97 percent. The investigative journalists found Cook and his colleagues strikingly classified papers by such prominent, vigorous skeptics as Willie Soon, Craig Idso, Nicola Scafetta, Nir Shaviv, Nils-Axel Morner and Alan Carlin as supporting the 97-percent consensus.
Cook and his colleagues, for example, classified a peer-reviewed paper by scientist Craig Idso as explicitly supporting the ‘consensus’ position on global warming “without minimizing” the asserted severity of global warming. When Popular Technology asked Idso whether this was an accurate characterization of his paper, Idso responded, “That is not an accurate representation of my paper. The papers examined how the rise in atmospheric CO2 could be inducing a phase advance in the spring portion of the atmosphere’s seasonal CO2 cycle. Other literature had previously claimed a measured advance was due to rising temperatures, but we showed that it was quite likely the rise in atmospheric CO2 itself was responsible for the lion’s share of the change. It would be incorrect to claim that our paper was an endorsement of CO2-induced global warming.”
A more extensive examination of the Cook study by the New American, reported that out of the nearly 12,000 scientific papers Cook’s team evaluated, only 65 endorsed Cook’s alarmist position. That is less than 0.97%.The crucial point here is the qualifying clause, “of those who have an opinion.” In other words, even the highly questionable Cook study doesn’t actually claim, as President Obama does, that “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree.” In fact, when examined closely, one finds that the study says only one-third of the authors of the published research papers they examined expressed an opinion that the Cook team interpreted as either an implicit or explicit endorsement of AGW. So now its 97 percent of one-third of selected scientists in a sampling of research papers. That’s a far cry from the 97 percent of all scientists claimed by President Obama and many of the media stories. And, as we will show below, even this admitted dramatically lower consensus claimed by the study is fraught with problems and falls apart further under examination.
Another criticism of the Cook and buddies paper is they didn’t define the “consensus” they were looking for. Is the 97% for people who believe the global warming is real, or people who believe its real and caused by mankind.From the data and methodology Cook has allowed the public to see, the 97% consensus figure is totally bogus, and the fact he preventing full disclosure of his data, via University of Queensland, by threatening legal action suggests there may be more nefarious things being withheld.
The bottom line is that Senator Cruz was correct and Sierra Club president Aaron Mair was full of baloney (or at least the people sitting behind him feeding him answers). And for their baloney they get the worst rating on our global warming liar scale…four ugly Christmas sweaters (because some scientists say we are going to have a mini ice age soon and they will need to keep warm).
