Of course the climate changes. If it didn’t, it would be nothing at all. Of course humans affect climate change. We eat, sleep, move, mate, defecate — did we think those were processes that have no input, no output, and no by product?

Laws
The state can only produce legislation. Real laws precede and succeed any particular state. For instance, you do not have to outlaw murder for it to be wrong.
High Expectations
To be disappointed in news because it is fake is like being disappointed in rain because it is wet.
Ayn Rand Revisited
