I've never yet met anyone who denies that climate exists.
Obtuse much?
Climate change takes place constantly, at all times, in all places on earth and even on other planets. No climate is ever entirely static.
True
There is probably a component of current trends in climate that's caused by human activity. This is in addition to trends in nature that have been occurring for millions of years. There is no reliable way to sort out the difference between the two. I highly recommend reading these two articles:
The climate may be heating up less in response to greenhouse-gas emissions than was once thought.
Understanding the Global Warming Debate
To give a quick summary: for a long time, politicians have been using scientific predictions of the planet warming 3 degrees Celsius by midcentury. More recent research predicts that the total amount of warming will be much less than that already modest amount: probably under two degrees. The original models that have been used to justify the hysteria about global warming were wrong.
While the entire issue is not a hoax, there are certainly a large number of hoaxes circulating around the issue. For example, in the USA the government requires that all gasoline we buy include 10% of corn ethanol. They claim that this will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In reality it
increases carbon emissions, because farmers have to burn a lot of fuel in order to grow all that corn. So why do we have this policy? Simply, the corn industry gives money to the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party makes the laws which benefit the corn industry, while pretending that the purpose of those laws is to combat global warming. So uninformed people vote for Democrats, thinking that Democrats are opposed to global warming, when in reality the Democrats are happy to require everyone to pump more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As long as people continue to vote for Democrats, this will continue.
See I was with you on the ethanol until you unnecessarily turned it political. Democrats and Republicans are both in the pockets of corporate America. If I had to chose between BIG OIL or BIG CORN(?) I think I will continue to chose the latter.
Can anything be done about global warming? Probably not. In the past decade, there have been nineteen international conferences aiming to reach a worldwide agreement for reducing carbon emissions. None of those conferences have actually produced an agreement. Do you think the 20th conference will produce an agreement? How about the 21st? Or the 22nd?
