Global Warming

3 stages of the funded controversy/denial business. Which stage are you buying?
Stage 1: Climate change is not happening.
This was the major funded opposition position initially when the scientist measured the effects that were not large enough for everyone to notice. But now that everyone can witness nearly a decade of warmer Imageseratures and year after year of record Imageseratures, this is falling out of favor in the denial/controversy business. Though there is still pockets of this. Last month I was reading stories about how the Icepack in Greenland is really not melting but getting thicker. This was false, but it was put forward by the standard denier mouth pieces who are still on stage 1. But they should get the memo soon.
Stage 2: We don't know what is causing it.
This now the majority position the funded denial machine. Get enough newspaper articles published and the average layman will start to believe there is a controversy even when there isn't. This is working quite well for the controversy business. Despite the fact that nearly every reputable climate Scientist on the planet agrees that we are heating up the earth with the Billions of tons of C02 we add annually to the atmosphere (that accumulates to higher concentration). When there is no controversy that C02 is heat trapping gas, that we are dumping BILLIONS of tons into the atmosphere annually, that the concentration is rising. Somehow laymen will still buy the story that this is not causing the now obvious heat increase. That somehow magically this is not having an effect and it must be some as yet undiscovered "natural cycle". Bravo to the manufacturers of controversy for convincing anyone in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary and even to the contrary and even to the contrary of common sense.
Stage 3: Nothing we can do about it anyway.
Some have moved to stage three, while not entirely admitting that we are the cause, they appeal to the more sensible by at least acknowledging that possibility. Even if we are having an effect, their argument is that we are powerless to stop it. So we should do nothing, go about your business, nothing to see here, move along.
