You're all pretty dumb if you think climate change is caused by humans. We can't accurately predict with 100% certainty a few hours from now. What makes you think these predictions the AWG crowd are making will become reality?

It's just a way for you to give up freedom for the security of the "future", yet our future is as uncertain as the chance that you might die today. What's really being said and done here? What are you building towards? Who will be in charge of all of this?

I certainly do not trust my future to the promises of people who see visions of a utopia based on population reduction. Who decides who lives and who dies? Who is ready and willing to kill for their cause?

It will be no better than the Spanish Inquisition, and more evil in depth and scope than Stalin or Mao ever dreamed, and YOU'RE a part of it. Think about what you're doing.
