Bad government is responsible for droughts, hurricanes, warming oceans.
There have been droughts, hurricanes and other events from the dawn of time. Humans with good government adapt and their people thrive. Humans with bad government suffer. Look at China under Mao. Millions starved because of bad government. Now there is no serious risk of a large scale famine in China even with climate change. The only thing that changed is government.

I'm not blaming everything on climate change, I'm just incredulous that you completely dismiss it in spite of all the research that says it is real.
Research said stress causes ulcers, red wine is good for you and vaccines cause autism. None of these claims are true. No research can show that climate change is a causal factor because, without controlled experiments, it is simply impossible so separate it out from all of the confounding factors. Any research that claims to do so is highly suspect.
 
You are right about one thing, cutting the worlds population in half would solve a lot. I'm glad I won't be around to see how mother nature does it.
This is my point. Dealing with mother nature requires good government, strong economies and access to cheap energy. Policies that sacrifice that to pursue the mirage of CO2 reductions will be less able to adapt.
