Climate hysteria is unfounded

For those of us who have actually studied science and history, this "The Climate Crisis" hysteria is simply amazing. Climate change is a never ending natural phenomena that has ben going on for over 4.5 billion years and 99.9% of the incredible climate change the Earth has seen occurred before "evil" humans even existed.

The Earth has dramatically cooled to form at least four ice ages and then thankfully the Earth naturally warmed and melted that ice. The last Ice Age occurred before "evil" humans were around and piled one mile of ice over Lake Michigan, Canada, Northern Illinois and Michigan.

Thankfully the Earth then naturally warmed and melted that ice 13,000 years ago which caused the oceans to rise all around the world by 400 feet. Not two feet, 400 feet.

That's why we can live in Illinois today. While the "man-made global warming" extremists blame CO2 for causing global warming, how many of them know that CO2 only makes up 0.04% of our atmosphere and it has been 17 times higher when "evil" humans weren't even around?

On top of that, how many of them know that without CO2, every living thing on Earth would be dead? While animals and "evil" humans need oxygen to breath to live, that oxygen is created by green plants which breath CO2 to live. I suggest that we need more CO2 because having only 0.04% of our atmosphere made up of CO2 sounds scary to me.

If you need to worry about a climate catastrophe, worry about another asteroid hitting Earth like the one that killed all the dinosaurs and 70% of all living creatures 65 million years ago by blocking the sun and dramatically dropping global temperatures for 30 years.
