Groupthink and the Global Warming Industry

I'm confused - I thought the temperature of the earth's surface came from the amount of sunlight reaching it. There is a difference between weather and climate. Weather can be effected by lesser forces that could by definition be man made. Climate is more profound. We are facing a change in climate no doubt but our leaders think it is better that the public be kept in the dark Hence the confusion. Bob Poplar Kenosha
