More mexican babies for everybody!

It fascinates me that the Church of Green still preaches sermons about
the "greenhouse effect" even though it was demonstrated in 1909 that
the mechanism of the greenhouse effect is to provide a barrier against
convection, and thus could not apply to the troposphere.

To be fair, some have switched to strictly touting "global warming",
while others warn of "climate change" - as if the climate has not been
ever-changing for eons.

The planet has been warmer, colder, and there have been several
reversals of the earth's magnetic field, several VEI 8 "mega-colossal"
volcanic eruptions (which also change the world's climate), and
several glaciations and de-glaciations since hominids first evolved.
Somehow the world has not come to an end, and humans have not gone
extinct (although less adaptable species have).

Climate change is probably the foremost driving force of evolution,
and all habitats are temporary.
