The most basic question of global warming has never been precisely answered or proven but it has certainly had a lot of scientific and political opinions cast thereupon. Along the same lines as the chicken and egg query, the question is, does a rise in carbon dioxide follow an elevation in temperatures, or does a rise in temperatures follow an increase in carbon dioxide or is there any actual correlation between the two?
This, the most fundamental and indispensable challenge of manmade global warming, has never been unequivocally answered. In the same manner, no physicist, climate scientist, or geological analyst or their published science has established that global warming or anthropogenic climate change is an empirical certainty. In many cases, science is driven by the necessity to resolve a desired or directed answer.
An outright conviction in human-induced climate change depends, not on scientific evidence, but largely on political dogma, favored politician, monetary advancement, and ‘feelings’. While it can be assuredly concluded that peddlers and hucksters of climate change do not believe in the theory, it is in their political, personal, or financial interest to continue without question or misstep.
Yet, notwithstanding the critical uncertainties, predicaments, and wholesale crises that could envelop the superfluous remedies for this disputable, ambiguous supposition, many people are being willingly shepherded down a dubious road of command, control, and coercion.
