    For once ,just once, it would be nice if these people would acknowledge that the Earth’s Climate is cyclical…always has been and always will be……and nothing we do on Earth will ever, ever change that position.
    What happens on the Sun and the Moon has more affect on the Earth’s Climate.
    Our challenge has and always will be is to understand and mange the cyclical nature of our Climate.
