> increase number of urban recorders > shut down rural recorders > temperature goes up and ensues further funding crazy how that works. climate is likely changing, though the only ones checking being the ones who benefit from change being shown is sketchy. evidence it's fossil fuels is not definitive, even if these were all the same record takers across time - the has heated and cooled on geological time scales, as well as over the centuries of human existence. since nobody seems to be asking india or china to eat the bugs, or pushing toward the actual solution to fossil fuel dependence (nuclear), i'm leaning toward the climate alarmism being self-interested sophistry, possibly largely funded by china to distract from their eating animals to extinction and filling the ocean with plastic.  it also takes attention away from smaller scale and more effective environmental efforts, such as improving forestry in the third world, seeding new reefs with artificial framing, or the aforementioned cutting back on india and china dumping endless tons of garbage into the pacific. instead millenials are afraid of the weather and desperate for the government to increase taxes to "fix the weather" (the funds then end up in the hands of cronies who embezzle them, see solyndra). basically the whole thing is a meaningless scam. whether it's human caused or not, there's nothing that funneling cash to alarmist scientists and the greenwashing industry will change, and nobody who has any power has shown any inclination to actually address problems.
