Millions of people all over the world are devastated about the future of Earth. They believe we are systematically destroying our planet one car at a time. Can I just ask a simple question:

From whose authority did this idea come from that man is causing climate change? More importantly from whose authority came the belief that the current climate change is anymore drastic than the Medieval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age?

Before you equate me to something along the lines of a Holocaust denier please try to understand how my brain works: when presented with a new theory or idea I first try to logically deduce whether the presented theory is rational. In order to accomplish this I must understand the logic and any observations which were used to build the theory and to determine if the theory contains contradictions or lacks the ability to explain certain occurrences. In my school years many theories were presented to me, including many that were presented as fact. One such theory was the Big Bang. This is a theory that describes how our universe started. It’s an interesting concept, but it requires more faith than logic to take it as truth. Current observations of the accelerating galaxies and the idea of singularity (or zero) containing all matter in the universe are just a few wrenches in that theories gears.

The reason I ask “from whose authority” is because the man induced climate change theory is more faith than science. When I was first presented with this theory I did not dismiss it, as I give all theories a chance no matter how odd they are. The problem with this one seems to be the fact that I can’t even start my logical processes of deduction as there is no evidence or proof presented to support it. Any decent programmer can create a computer model based on linear regression and have it produce the output to support your goal. Hell I just did that last summer to predict the futures market. Now if you believe that a computer model can predict something as complex as the market that’s one thing, but climate? Do you have any idea how many variables would be necessary for that multiple linear regression formula to even come close to predicting next weeks climate? I’ll answer that for you: no you don’t. No one does. Back to my point: this theory must be one based on authority and not truth. There is one thing that is certain: the majority of people (not all) do not have a mind of their own, thus most willfully submit to authority.

“Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” – Albert Einstein

By the way, if anyone has the “lost” temperature/CO2 data used in the IPCC models, please send it my way as I’ll gladly write a computer model which can be used to prove or disprove the IPCC’s findings.

One last thing: if you really believe in man made climate change I want you to know that I don’t have bad feelings towards you. I really don’t mind making money in the new trillion dollar carbon market.

Update
I just found this article which was also published today from the Daily Express out of the UK that I thought fit nicely with this post: CLIMATE CHANGE IS NATURAL: 100 REASONS WHY. To start the list off:

1) There is “no real scientific proof” that the current warming is caused by the rise of greenhouse gases from man’s activity.

2) Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.

3) Warmer periods of the Earth’s history came around 800 years before rises in CO2 levels.

4) After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940.

5) Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high.

6) Significant changes in climate have continually occurred throughout geologic time.

7) The 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.

8) The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.

9) Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” – suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming

10) A large body of scientific research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of climate change during the past hundred years.

11) Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago

… It goes on and on.
