The last drastic climate change was onset of ice age. The subsequent global warming then took place which melted all those billions of tons of ice. Where Chicago is now, there were 4 mile thick layers of glaciers during last ice age. It must have been some horrible global warming to melt all that ice and form the Great Lakes, largest body of fresh water on earth. It was climate change alright, but the Neanderthals were not capable of causing it, unless you believe they burned too many twigs.

Looking at more recent climate change, hottest average temperatures were recorded during the dust bowl years in United States. That is during the days of horse and buggies. May be the flatulence by horses was responsible?

Lastly, China is building ONE NEW COAL FIRED POWER PLANT EVERY WEEK! And China refuses to impose any tax based on climate change. Ditto with India.
