Climate change is an anti-capitalist plot

“Climate change” seems to be based more on political motives than scientific evidence. The Space and Science Research Corporation’s measurements say there has been no warming of our Earth for the past 18 years. There is no rise in sea levels, period. NASA Sea Level Change Team in 2014 found no deep ocean warming since 2005 and Flinders University placed sophisticated tide gauges on 12 Pacific islands and found no change in the ocean levels.

“Climate change” is only a theory used by the left to divert attention away from the real problems facing our nation, like $19 trillion in federal debt; there are 14 million fewer Americans in the labor force than in 2007; and 46 million families are now on food stamps.

Left-wing columnists like Paul Krugman and candidates like Bernie Sanders are using the “climate change” theory as a way to move the United States away from our capitalistic form of government.
