      So essentially, the scientists are telling us to make the weather better by taxing the air we breathe and with shared Human sacrifice of lifestyle and if we don’t our grandchildren will all die?
      Not one single IPCC report of warning has ever said any crisis from Human CO2 was certain; it’s always with a “maybe” or “possibly” etc. Always.
      REAL planet lovers are happy a crisis was avoided. The rest of you just hate humanity for still believing in the CO2 exaggeration after 26 years of needless panic.
      Meanwhile, the entire world of SCIENCE, journalism and progressivism had allowed bank-funded and corporate-run “CARBON TRADING STOCK MARKETS” to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 26 years of insane attempts at climate CONTROL. Nice job girls!
