@luisbaram 1/6》The usual claim is that 97% of scientists think climate change is manmade & dangerous.

There're NO polls or other support for that claim. It's just a plain lie.

@luisbaram 2/6》There is something of a consensus (though not 97%) that mankind's GHG emissions cause at least some warming. (I agree with that, BTW.)

But there's no consensus -- indeed, no actual evidence -- that it's harmful.

@luisbaram 3/6》Scientists call warm periods "climate optimums" -- including periods much warmer than our current climate. The best evidence is that manmade global warming is modest and benign, and CO2 emissions are beneficial, rather than harmful.

@luisbaram 4/6》Nearly all climate activists assume that as long as we continue to emit CO2 the atmospheric CO2 level will keep rising, so sooner or later it will cause a harmful amount of warming. They are wrong on both counts.

@luisbaram 5/6》The natural negative feedbacks which remove CO2 from the air are so powerful that even if CO2 emissions continue indefinitely at the current rate, with NO reduction (until all the coal is gone), it could NEVER cause a worrisome amount of warming.
