people have nothing to do with global climate

I despair of people who say 'not enough research has been done' etc when they refuse to read and review the research that is available under their noses.
- ever heard of CFCs?
- ever read mush about the man made changes in landscapes in the last 10,000 years?.
- ever read about how trees can make rain?
- ever read about desertification?
- ever heard of salinity?
- ever heard of the albedo effect?
- ever looked at how the coral in the worlds oceans is turning to dust?
- read about the 10 major rivers in the world running dry?
- ever heard of "tipping points'?
- ever read the USA defence force plans for future climate change?
- ever read the UK defence force plans for future climate change?
You, of course may be right. But please put your "rightness" in some time frame. Are you going to be right for 10 or 100 years given the trends in environmental degradation and population growth we have now?
PS
Glad your electricity is so 'cheap" Ever wonder why?

Climate modelling is a very new and imprecise science. Like most modelling
However these articles may give you some food for thought

Our best estimates of climate sensitivity tell us that the warming is very unlikely to be less than 1.5°C, and will most likely fall in the range of 2°C to 4.5°C. For the next 20 years, warming of around 0.2°C per decade is predicted across a wide range of projected economic and political scenarios. Even if greenhouse gas concentrations had been stabilized in 2000, the temperature would continue to increase by 0.1°C per decade. Due to the immense thermal momentum of the ocean, warming and sea level rise would continue for centuries. Even the best-case, lowest-emission scenario suggests an increase of 1.8°C, while the best estimate for the high scenario results in an increase of 4°C or more.
