Ok, I'm waiting for the Flood to hate on me.
Mankind cannot change/control the climate. If so, where there are droughts, make it rain; where there are floods, make it stop.
Mankind CAN change the environment though. Factories in the Ruhr Valley did cause acid rain in the mountains to the east. The area around the Belogio resort's man made lake in Vegas was more humid. Deforestation such as in Brazil can cause a rise in CO2.
I guess all those campfires that the cavemen built caused the end of the ice age
Funny how a lot of solar power companies here in the U.S. got tax breaks and grants, gave huge donations to certain political parties and still filed for bankruptcy.

Yet big oil contributes billions. Curious.

Oh, I can't deny or debate with you about the oil companies. My point is that the "green energy" agenda has really been pushed. Making us switch to different light bulbs, raising MPG requirements on cars, solar energy etc. and none of these changes are cheaper than what they replaced. I brought up that I thought it curious for fairly new solar power companies to get huge grants, made huge political contributions afterward and then filed bankruptcy a short time later. Almost like a kick-back. Were they actually legit companies that failed or fictional companies established as a front to funnel money back to the very people who arranged the grants in the first place?

I have no idea about the companies. Poor business and politics doesn't detract from the benefits of alternative energy. Your stance is that the old stuff with the cheapest upfront cost is best even though long term the cost is higher. Long term cost must be considered more seriously. Short sightedness only creates bandaid solutions.

Politics, as messed up as they are, don't change the science. The claim isn't that humans can willfully change out climate, it is that the trillions of tons of pollution we put into our air is affecting how the climate changes.
