We've Known About Climate Change for 53 years now.

RE: We've Known About Climate Change for 53 years now.
I've remained skeptical of the whole issue for various reasons but also because we don't have enough evidence one way or the other to say all this isn't simply all one big *natural* cycle the planet and its parent star radiating onto it is going through. 'Climate change' is also a painfully obvious term, like the 'Beatles are a Rock Band', a young child can appreciate the climate is constantly changing. At the risk of sounding fallacious, we haven't been recording and making observations long enough yet. We still can't even predict next week's weather for crying out loud.

My biggest chief concern is that scientific consensus can be corrupted by political motives, namely how will the government tax the ever-loving-fuck out of us, or impose even more ridiculous legislation, than before.

Let's face it you get scientists and other supporters backing this shamefully and attacking their critics (what kind of valid-working theory cannot withstand moderate scrutiny? Not to mention Prince Charles, of all people, recently resorted to attacking skeptics this week) whenever and wherever there's government funding, if there were funding available to disprove or discredit the hypothesis in a so-called "anti-climate change" movement don't you think every academic and his dog would be eager to claim it?

For all our banging on the climate change bandwagon we can’t escape the fact, this planet started off without us, and it’ll die without us in a few more billion years even before the sun reaches red giant stage, which compared to the lifespan of the universe is 'trivial' to say the least.
