Well, so far the ice caps haven't melted as they predicted back when Al Gore was actually relevant. Of course with him flying around in a jet and living in an 8000 sq ft house it was hard to take him serious...even though he did invent the internet. Back then, we were supposed to be in big trouble by now. Didn't happen.

Back in the 70's there was hysteria about a looming ice age. Didn't happen. There was also hysteria about overpopulation, and the world running out of food. The movie 'Soylent Green' comes to mind. Didn't happen.

The hole in the Ozone layer in the 80's was supposed to cook us all, so they banned freon and other CFC's. Did that fix the ozone layer? Did it really need fixing in the first place?

Is there climate change? Yes. Always was, always will be, regardless of what we do.

Was the recent climate thing where the lesser developed countries demanded the US and others pay them for storm damage a money grab? Sounded like it to me.

I'll reserve judgement, but I'm leaning toward climate 'science' being more about dollars than climate.
