CAGW, or Catastrophic Anthropogenic (man made) Global Warming, is a left-wing fantasy.
The CAGW fantasy ends with runaway warming caused by man made carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels.
CAGW is a hoax because no human can predict the future climate.
We already have 40 years of wrong predictions, starting with a global cooling scare in the mid-1970s, to demonstrate that.
CAGW is also a hoax because Earth's CO2 level has been higher than it is today during most of the past 4.5 billion years -- up to 20x higher.
And there is no evidence of runaway warming in the past 4.5 billion years.
CAGW is a hoax used by left-wing governments to gain greater control over the private sector, collect new energy taxes and redistribute wealth from rich to poor nations.
CAGW is not based on science -- it is a religious belief supported only by 40 years of computer game wild guess 100-year average temperature predictions ... predictions that are consistently wrong ... so bad they usually look foolish after only ten years of ... and that's not science.
The CAWG prediction has been repeated so many times, by so many important people, from the US President to the Catholic Pope, that many people believe it.
The belief in CAGW is like a 'secular religion'.
Trying to refute the CAWG belief results in vicious character attacks from believers ... and they can only be offset by counter-character attacks.
With a stronger candidate in 2020 (almost anyone) I believe it will be hard for Trump to win again.
Assuming Trump is President for the next four years, those four years may be the only chance to refute CAGW.
School children have been brainwashed for two decades to believe in CAGW, and favor socialism.
And it's difficult to refute an alleged catastrophe that is ALWAYS coming 'in the future.'
CAWG believers know almost nothing about climate science or climate history -- the basic fact that Earth's climate is always changing is a mystery to most of them.
If CAGW believers search for climate history facts, which they rarely do, confirmation bias causes them to only accept “facts” that support their belief.
CAGW believers don't realize wild guess predictions of the future climate are not "facts" ... or science.
Tell a CAGW believer that the climate in 2016 is wonderful, which it is, and he will claim it's the hottest year "ever".
How do you refute a person who can't even observe the climate he lives in ... and doesn't realize "ever" is only the past 135 years (which excludes 99.9999% of Earth's history)?
Five consecutive years of unusually cool weather might destroy the CAGW myth -- but that's only my wishful thinking.
I believe there's only one practical way to refute CAGW, and that's the same way CAGW was originally "marketed" as a boogeyman:
-- Donald Trump and other well-known people must step forward and use simple English to convince the public that CAGW is a false boogeyman.
-- Trump's staff must also attack CAGW supporters with the Alinsky-style ridicule that Democrats understand well (Examples: Attack Al Gore for barely passing two elementary science courses in college, and his wrong Arctic ice will melt by 2014 prediction he made in 2007, 40 years of wrong GCM predictions, 4.5 billion years of missing data, "hide the decline", etc.)
Trump must first persuade people the climate in 2017 is wonderful -- that's true, and obvious, but hard to do after decades of left-wing brainwashing.
Then Trump must persuade people CO2 is not evil, and the average temperature has barely changed in the past 135 years, in spite of smarmy government bureaucrats creating half the claimed warming by "adjusting" the raw data!
Could Donald Trump do this?
Not in my opinion.
-- Trump is a tough guy -- tough enough to face the harsh character attacks that will result from him trying to refute the CAGW myth.
-- But Trump does not appear to be smart enough to talk intelligently about climate science.
-- And I don't believe Trump will ever read a science book or paper that would make him smart enough to do that.
-- Trump previously told the public that CAGW is a "hoax" created by the Chinese.
-- CAGW is a hoax, but saying that without providing a list of supporting facts and data, made Trump sound like an uninformed conspiracy theorist.
-- The Chinese will do nothing to reduce CO2 emissions for many years -- that's a fact too, but not a fact that refutes CAGW.
-- Trump has not made any intelligent statements about climate change so far, in my opinion.
-- One Saul Alinsky rule-of-thumb is to show no respect toward your opponents -- you demonstrate that their opinions have no value by refusing private discussions and/or public debates with them.
-- Unfortunately, Trump invited Al Bore and Leonardo DiCraprio to Trump Tower -- giving two climate change dolts (whose opinions really have no value) publicity and respect they did not deserve.
-- I'm not sure Trump wants to destroy the CAGW myth -- trying to do so would create even more enemies, who would hurl even more Alinsky-style ridicule at him.
-- I believe it would be wishful thinking to expect Trump to make intelligent statements that end, or significantly weaken, the CAWG myth in the next four years.
