Climate change IS a legitimate concern - especially as it affects poor nations. However, the subject has been twisted by greedy global elites resulting in disappointments (if you wish to call them that!) such as this.
Sometimes the Awake magazine-style mindset of doom and gloom infects more than just Witnesses.

So how do you explain that its business as usual in western countries ? Nobody has ban SUV which is a collosal waste and completely unncessary.
Global warming is another sham, just like it was the end of the world with CFCs and ozone. Nobody remembers the later nowdays.
So, mp? Is banning SUVs necessary to cure climate change?
Give your head a shake
Climate change , global warming , global cooling , who is right .?
both are right .
sometimes the overall climate is warming..... X amount of years
Sometimes the overall climate is cooling ....... X amount of years
It`s cyclical , just as the earth goes through the cycles of seasons , summer , winter , autum , and spring, the climate goes through cycles ,warm and cooling.
The sun , what or where would we be without our sun .It goes through cycles of activity , something like 11 year cycles according to present knowledge , maybe the earth has a different timespan for how long climate cycles go on for .
What, ? we have only been recording weather patterns for about a hundred years , more or less ? What do we really know about long change weather patterns or climate changes over centuries on planet earth.
Just my 2 cents worth.

SUV dont help *fix* climate change do they ? Everything counts if theres a big problem. burning petrol in all its forms contrinbutes to global warming. Gov should ban cars and more if theres really a rush to counter g/w.

Climate change has been with us since the beginning of time. In fact it happens everyday (we call it day when it gets warmer, and night when it cools). As you note nothing is constant, cycles of various kinds appear and increase or decrease temp.

They have calculated temps before the industrial revolution in the 1800s even back then things fluctuated.
I have been a defender of the climate change research.
Now it turns out that the damn god believing science hating conservatives may have been on the right side of the controversey.

If it looks simple, you can bet it's wrong.

scotoma:
look at wiki, theres a graph that shows temps have been getting warmer for a few hundred years. Temp is always going up and down. The dishonesty is claiming its directly because of manmade carbon
