Speaking of: a number of people have been saying the planet is going into either the next ice age or the next global heat wave for decades.....flip flopping on which it'll be every so often, and seemingly quite often saying it's "right around the corner".

Some such people seem to forget/"forget" that the planet(due to the sun, in part) has been getting cooler or hotter all by itself in regular cycles for eons.

yup
one of them even said, just look at how strong sunshine became, when arguing for human made global warming, like humanity has anything to do with that :P
the best is how they base their beliefs on nothing , no studies or data , every one of their presumptions failed so far
then why should I accept what they are telling as truth?

Someone said that? Sounds bizarre and hard to believe, but then again this IS current year.
Hmm, I wonder if any such types were some of the ones behind these new regulations?
