2-12-19 Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent worldwide every year on CACC and there are plenty of billionaires and global corporations (most of them in fact) who are vocal, enthusiastic proponents of CACC theories. If this issue is so critical to our very survival why wouldn't they take the time and spend some of that money to fund some widely publicized debates to show the world and convince people that the skeptics are wrong?
The reason is that they lose debates. When the facts are presented, regardless of the composition of the audience, they lose. It happened every time they tried, which is why they decided long ago that they had to stop participating in debates and stick with lectures dripping with arrogance, hysteria and propaganda….If they can't win a simple debate, why would anyone believe them about their catastrophic predictions and unrealistic solutions?

Abstract
For a variety of inter-related cultural, organizational and political reasons, progress in climate science and the actual solution of scientific problems in this field have moved at a much slower rate than would normally be possible. Not all these factors are unique to climate science, but the heavy influence of politics has served to amplify the role of the other factors. By cultural factors I primarily refer to the change in the scientific paradigm from a dialectic opposition between theory and observation to an emphasis on simulation and observational programs. The latter serves to almost eliminate the dialectical focus of the former. Whereas the former had the potential for convergence, the latter is much less effective. The institutional factor has many components. One is the inordinate growth of administration in universities and the consequent increase in importance of grant overhead. This leads to an emphasis on large programs that never end. Another is the hierarchical nature of formal scientific organizations whereby a small executive council can speak on behalf of thousands of scientists as well as govern the distribution of ‘carrots and sticks’ whereby reputations are made and broken. The above factors are all amplified by the need for government funding. When an issue becomes a vital part of a political agenda, as is the case with climate, then the politically desired position becomes a goal rather than a consequence of scientific research.

3-18-19 Season— December through February
The seasonal temperature for the period from December 2018 through February 2019 was 1.51 degrees F above the world average of 53.8 degrees, which is the fourth highest for that period. https://www.noaa.gov/news/february-2019-ranked-fifth-hottest-on-record-for-globe

2-6-19 NASA scientists announced Wednesday that the Earth’s average surface temperature in 2018 was the fourth highest in nearly 140 years of record-keeping and a continuation of an unmistakable warming trend.
The data means that the five warmest years in recorded history have been the last five, and that 18 of the 19 warmest years have occurred since 2001. The quickly rising temperatures over the past two decades cap a much longer warming trend documented by researchers and correspond with the scientific consensus that climate change is caused by human activity. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/06/climate/fourth-hottest-year.html

The world is getting warmer. Whether the cause is human activity or natural variability--and the preponderance of evidence says it’s humans--thermometer readings all around the world have risen steadily since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. (Click on bullets above--the link-- to step through the decades.) According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/DecadalTemp
