Global warming is junk science! Why is the summer so cool this year?
Weather trends. The science tells us there are weather trends. There
was a mini ice age before there where cars. The ice caps are not
melting and the oceans rising. LA is still here. For 30 years you have
been telling us in 12 years the earth is going to burn up.
Just because a car heats up mean nothing more that do not leave anything
in your car that would be adversely effected by the summer sun and the
increased interior temperature.
Why does the sun not heat up your car during the winder? Is it global
cooling?
We know too little about the weather to determine what is happening.
That is what the scientists say.
What we do know is there is weather cycles and trends.
An what about all those hacked emails years ago where the weather
scientists where encouraging publishing false data.
What is it you wish to achieve? What so you want us to do?
