Not much hard science in public school curriculum these days. Most people graduate high schools here never knowing that in the 1600’s the Earth experienced a “mini” ice age, that left many areas of the north Atlantic under hundreds of feet of glacial ice that persists to this very day. The Earth isn’t as warm as it was in the 1500’s-when the world famously did NOT burst into flames-and until the last of those hundreds of feet of glacial ice are completely gone, still won’t be as warm as it was. It is THIS glacial ice that’s slowly melting, causing the oceans to rise. NASA and NOAA can’t seem to agree on the rate at which they’re rising-one says 1/8” per year, the other 1/10” per year. No need to build an Ark just yet. I’ve lived in the same house for 40 years, and the climate in my backyard hasn’t changed. No species have actually disappeared. We have the same wild plants (you might call them weeds); Purslane, Salsify, Goatheads, Silverleaf Nightshade, Black Nightshade, Kochia, Lamb’s Quarters, Amaranth, Wild Mustard, Native Clump grasses, and Dandelions. In my front yard, Prickly Pear Cactus volunteers (seeded by birds) and Spiny Goldenweed.Only one species of reptile-Aspidoscelis neomexicanus. Harvester Ants, “Sugar” Ants, two species of Grasshoppers, Chinese Praying Mantis (Invasive but welcome)Lady Bugs, Leaf Hoppers, Darkling and Dermestid Beetles, Cottonwood Borer Beetles, Black Crickets, Paper Wasps, Yellow Jacket Wasps, Hawk Moths, Noctuid Moths, the occasional Monarch, Tiger Swallowtail and Cabbage Butterflies, the Oriental Cockroach (invasive, unwelcome) and a Mediterranean Cockroach (invasive, unwelcome)-and Sowbugs, not insects, but… . For Spiders, we have two species of Wolf Spiders, two species of Jumping Spiders, Western Black Widows, 2 species of Crab Spiders, Yellow Sac Spiders (invasive, unwelcome), Southern House Spiders,Psilochirus, Herpyllus, Dysdera, Oecobius, Lithyphantes and Clubiona. For birds, we have Flickers, Robins, Sparrows, House Finches, Road Runners, Cooper’s Hawks, Screech Owls, Barn Owls, Mourning Doves-being pressured out of the area by Eurasian Collared Doves (invasive, but good eating) and Grackles (invasive) who ran out the equally invasive Starlings. Only a few mammals-I live in a fairly large city: Squirrels (don’t know the variety), Field Mice, Skunks and Raccoons. It’s true that we’re going through a period of several years of drought, but fossil trees from the area have growth rings that indicate that we’ve had droughts lasting for more than a century. Some Summers are hotter than others, some Winters colder than others, some entire years wetter/dryer than others. In the end, though, it’s the same mile-high Rocky Mountain scrub desert it’s always been. The sky ain’t falling. Remember, when you drive your SUV and your cows are farting, you’re RISKING THE LIVES OF 8 BILLION PEOPLE who will almost certainly die from climate change, and so the punishment for your crime is you have to PAY A TAX. If you build hand grenades in your garage without proper licenses, you risk the lives of your family, and maybe the family next door to your garage-RISKING THE LIVES OF PERHAPS 10 PEOPLE in all, the punishment is 20 YEARS IN A FEDERAL PRISON. Hmmmm… A great book by actual scientists that don’t live on govt grant money stolen from the paychecks of taxpayers is “Hot Talk, Cold Science” by S. Fred Singer, David R. Legates and Anthony R. Lupo. They state that none of the “harm” you’re being told is happening is actually happening to the Earth or any of it’s inhabitants. There is NO empirical evidence that any of the claims of the dangers of “Greenhouse Gases” exists, nor have any of these claims ever been proven, nor is there any evidence to support the claims. Instead of evidence,”CLIMATE CHANGE” COMPUTER MODELS HAVE BEEN CREATED that allegedly prove their wild claims. A COMPUTER MODEL IS A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT DOES WHAT IT WAS CREATED TO DO. Excel can total a column of numbers because that’s what it was created to do: crunch numbers, and Climate models were created to increase the temperatures automatically, once entered into the system from the raw data received from satellites that collect the actual temperatures on the ground all over the world, all day, all night. Remember, when your smiling, lying elected officials tell you about a dangerous situation that can only be solved by you paying higher taxes, the problem is that your lying elected officials want more of your money, and want to convince you that it’s somehow your own fault. One last fun fact: Cows DON’T fart…

Excellent comment, I would also add Clive Ponting's book on your list of must read titles. An economist, not a scientist. Published around 1990 before the scam science arrived...excellent book by an imperishable mind. "A Green History of the World"

@joe goofball I must also say this: where I live in the last 10 years kem tr@ils are active. Most small garden birds have disappeared from.my front yard over the last five years. Only large ones survive, crows and smaller population now of parrots. I live in a city that once had insect life in abundance, wherever you walked or drove. That was the 1970s. That life now only exists in isolated pockets where there are still a few true gardeners left who dont use poison. The dawn chorus is gone from here. One bird if I'm.lucky, it gives up after a few quiet calls. Let

Let us all not also give up, peace out everyone❤

@@pipfox7834 Thanks for the tip--I'll check it out!

@@pipfox7834 Widespread use of pesticides seems to account for a "Silent Spring" in many places. Are parrots native to your country, or an invasive species. Sometimes invasive species drive out the natives, either displacing them by out-breeding them and filling up the territory, or aggressively driving them away...

Orcas in view !. Comment after.

If this is just another opportunity to peddle Climate Change grifting-I will switch off. I love the these people. Magnificent Peoples. God Bless All. Switched off at 39.13, the Climate scam came on.
