A large portion of the science community believed in warming long before Gore stepped into the picture.  Fingers crossed the majority of scientific experts are wrong.

Agree 100%
I hate that anyone that believes the scientists that strongly agree that climate change is occurring, are always labeled here as a Hilary loving, Gore fondeling leftist. 
There are folks that believe the ice caps are melting and vote republican

I do remember High School in the early 70's being told that by 2010 the Earth would be gripped in an ice age. And oil will run out by the year 2000. Guess they were right?

  Exactly right. The calamity is fear tactics that fit the current narrative at the time.
  Remember the guys that would stand on the corner with a sign that said the end is near? They all joined the new religion of climate change.

I believe that the scientists said it before Gore latched on.
And I believe that the scientists vastly overstate the reliability and meaning of their own data.

What if,,,

We lower our standard of living,
Surrender our rights
Redistribute the wealth of our nation at the cost of the our taxpayers. 
We propagate the global governance agenda.
We alter the political spectrum of our voter base for no reason.
We surrender to the climate cultists.

What if most of Florida is under a shallow sea and it could have been prevented?

What if a Unicorn appears under your Christmas tree?
 By the way, Florida once was covered by the sea AND, a lot larger than it is today thanks to a ice age.

I agree with Dragon, there are some very clear benefits of developing green/clean/renewable energy sources.  It makes sense to head in that direction.  It will take time, decades, but migration is the right path.

I don't celebrate Christmas.

By the way, the last ice age wasn't caused by humans burning fossil fuels.

Oops, true. Global warming episodes of the past weren’t caused by humans burning fossil fuels either.
  Nicely exposed.

What about the forests off the coast of FL panhandle & AL.  the stumps are still out there.  The GOM had to of been a lot shallower back then.

Like the old saying the more things change the more they remain the same.

Sounds like the answer is for the United States and pretty much all of western civilization to go back to the 1600’s?
 Who’s going to be first?

That would have zero effect on global warming.  The resulting population disruption would be beneficial to the earth.
