Tired of "Climate Change" Propaganda!!!!

A 13 November 2013 Vallejo Times-Herald cartoon depicted the Philippine typhoon as an exclamation point with words inset - "Climate Change".  This mention of "Climate Change", previously promoted as un-provable "Global Warming" derived by 'UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)' hockey-stick data and appearing intermittently in articles, websites, Presidential speeches, etc., is perhaps aimed such that we become "Climate Change" propaganda accustomed.  Conversely, no mention is made of IPCC hockey-stick data ignoring Medieval Warming Period, the Little Ice Age, solar cycles and volcanic activity, things when considered impact the hockey-stick graph credibility, all in unresolved scientific debate.

The odds "climate change" approximates highest threat level facing the nation/world is zip.zero. Climate Change gloom and doom verbiage is predominately political, aimed at your pocket book (think CA AB32 Cap-n-trade carbon credit); on its face unbelievably speculative.  We are now pushing military resources to develop strategies on 'politically correct' yet politically bias scientific theory, e.g. Proceedings "Coast Guard adjusts its Arctic Presence". Such will never rise to North Korean, nuclear Iran, Chinese Navy expansion, increasingly belligerent Russia nor jihadist terror groups (SECNAV) threat levels.

"Climate Change", more appropriately titled "Weather", is something humans should enjoy for the cycle of life it promotes.  Weather isn't the enemy when folks constantly build/re-build at water's edge, in tornado zones or areas known prone to volcanic activity.  Subsidence, the lowering of land, frequently a rising seas "Climate Change"  justification, is more attributable to natural shoreline sinking based on plate tectonics, measured and known, e.g. New York has noted a 4 inch subsidence rate for centuries.  The same location 1938 Hurricane did more damage and killed more persons than "Hurricane Sandy", but when did media provide that comparative information.

Another falsehood is Arctic ice decline.  Christopher Book/UK telegraph, nrlssc.navy.mil graphing, notes 2013 produced a 190,000 sq. mile increase in Arctic Ice area greater than in 2012; no shrinkage! Yet, IPCC declared Arctic Ice would disappear by 2013.   To address temperature rise even more, the IPCC created scenario falls apart against an increase in CO2 over some 15 - 16 years while temperature remains stable.  Brazil, China and India combined are emitting 180 times more CO2 than attributable to Alberta’s oil sands; 9 billion tons per year vs. 50 million tons.  Moreover, as atmospheric CO2 reaches 400 ppm (0.04% of Earth’s total atmospheric gasses), average planetary temperatures remain stable.  If CO2 is a pollutant due to "greenhouse gas" status, so is water. We should next expect to see EPA restrictions on human use of water which may increase atmospheric water vapor concentration.

 "Climate Change" intended outcome is to destroy wealth, drive industry overseas to pollute worse, substantially grow Government and restrict personal freedom when we, as good citizens, ought to address the problem at the family level.  Just remember, empirical data processes are to make observations and develop a theory; not develop a theory and then supply observations that prove the theory while excluding observations that don't; "IPCC Climate Change" is hardly scientific!
