Climate Change in Perspective

Climate anomalies, which can be selected to "prove" rising or falling thermometers, happen all over the globe. Picking changes that just match the current academic, governmental, and political "consensus" on climate change is not how authentic science is supposed to work.

But, it's no surprise that the consensus of scientists who are paid huge sums of money from government to find "the risk of human-induced climate change" (as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change puts it) find that humans are responsible for climate change. Thousands of the rest of us atmospheric scientists, who have no stake in the outcome, find the hypothesis that humans are responsible for long-term, global climate change to be a stretch at best.
