Climate Change is a big scam.

Climate is, and always will be changing, but the models used to predict and report on 'climate change' always use the.most.extreme estimate, this is designed to cause fear, panic and eventually resentment in people who obviously see not change to the ice caps and actually benefit from the nice weather we've been having the last 40 years.

We focus on CO2 to increase carbon taxes and green projects, but carbon models don't account for the solar cycle, volcanic activity, methane release from the earth. They say that because we contribute as humans 0.00014ppm carbon, the planet is going to end in 12 years. What a load of crap, eh?

CO2 is toxic in high levels too (and every ppm above what it was thirty years ago is bad).

It seems likely literally every message in this thread was posted by a bot.

You are also lying about just about everything in your comment. If anything the models have been conservative, which is why scientists come out every few years saying that it's going to be worse.

All climate models predict higher than observed temperatures. It is a lie to deny this fact.

At no point did I claim high CO2 isn't toxic in high levels, or the opposite. Geologists will tell you that in the distant past, CO2 levels were vastly higher than they are now and the forests thrived. There is archaeological record of this fact. We also know that reducing CO2 too far will be detrimental to plant life, and that we are incapable of eliminating CO2 completely due to natural sources such as volcanoes and oceanic algae.

Warmer climates are not necessarily a bad thing. Higher CO2 isn't necessarily a bad thing. Taxing people for something not in our control is bad. Lying to people about the predicted models is bad.

cfact.org is obviously a fake organisation. Any more "facts"?

The infographic displays around 12 of the approximate 32 active computer models being used globally. There are a few that are similar to observations, but the media runs with the most extreme for effect. To deny this fact is rather ignorant of you.

Here's an assessment of the performance of a variety of models.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

With an accuracy rate of -28% to +30% described here, it is evident that the correlation between global temperature and CO2 have a complex relationship and that our best efforts do not provide an adequate prediction to base policy on, that has resulted in making the average family struggle to heat their home in order to pay for carbon taxes and green projects. UK energy costs have doubled in recent years, and this has little to do with the war in Ukraine or COVID, it's the crippling taxes imposed on us to meet impossible targets based on these models.
