> Wait I thought outlier weather events like blizzards and heat waves weren't indicators of global climate as the media so likes to lecture about when it's not in favor of their narrative.

It's probably fair to hold two ideas at the same time.

. Climate change is a way to accumulate rank and wealth in society.

. Climate change is real

It's interesting to ask what everyone is really after in terms of climate. Lack of change or natural events occurring. Would an upcoming ice age result in a cry for more CO2?

I like to think of it in terms of carrying capacity. Too many people results in environmental degradation (of all sorts), social unrest, scrabbling at the bottom for wages, squabbling at the top for status.

Well not many are after actually fixing it. If anyone clams to be worried about climate change and doesn't support nuclear power I stop listening.
