Climate change is caused by the sun. Humans are to insignificant to cause any change in climate. What we are going through is a natural cycle that has happened for millions of years. Also, other planets in our solar system are warming as well. Man made "global warming" or climate change is a big hoax to tax us to death.

Here is truth about global warming:
Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is
becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.
It's been happening for millions of years.
The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.
As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.
Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

Climate change is caused, primarily, by man's activities releasing additional amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Use of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are the main cause. Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased by around 30% over the past hundred years. Carbon dioxide is one of a number of 'greenhouse gases' which, whilst allowing the sun's radiation to pass through restrict the flow of radiated heat back into space from the surface of the earth. The result is that the earth is getting warmer, sea levels are gradually increasing and the climate is changing.

Some gases ("greenhouse gases") let sunlight in, which warms the Earth, and then block that heat from leaving. That's the "greenhouse effect", and it's a natural thing, mostly caused by water vapor.
Man is making excessive amounts of greenhouse gases, mostly by burning fossil fuels. That causes the delicate natural balance to go out of whack and the Earth warms. That's global warming.
It won't be a Hollywood style disaster. Gradually coastal areas will flood and agriculture will be damaged. But it will be very bad. Rich countries will cope, but it will take huge amounts of money. In poor countries many people will die of starvation, but not all of them.
Most scientists say, in 20-50 years. But we need to start right now to fix it, fixing it will take even longer than that.

Lots of numerical scientific data proving it real here:

Yea, climate change is caused when the Sun's output varies. Nothing in the universe is ever constant. Natural variations are expected and normal as anything else in nature.
