Re: Obama’s planned CO2 declaration

And what happens if the Sun doesn’t want to play ball? In case anyone isn’t playing attention the Solar scientist are whispering under their breaths, “Dalton Minimum” given that all of the solar benchmarks are at historic lows for the modern era. If global temperatures begin to fall as some are predicting the result will be an increase in energy usage (heating) and a decrease in food production (CO2 levels will fall due to the oceans reabsorbing the gas and CO2 is plant food in case anyone forgot their biology classes plus plants like it warm). What then? The politicians will say “Sorry, we’re bad”? The AGW hoax/scare has caused some serious misallocation of economic and scientific resources which will cause misery down the road, IMHO. We shall see.
