For general reference:

 

Science:  "The climate is changing."   (presents evidence)

Politics:  "So-and-so is the reason the climate is changing/not changing/etc."  (endless arguments)

 

That climate changes over time is an observed fact and is not political.   The whys, wherefores, and do-we-do-anything-about-it? is the political part.

 

This has been a public service announcement.  

Climate change will be real when people finally get that they will have to pay even if they do nothing to stop it. On the bright side, if you live in Yellow knife warmer summers. But what exactly does climate change have to do with 'where in the world is Carmen Sandiego Tiangong-1'

Beats me.   I think it got pulled in relative to the discussion of the variability of Tiangong's orbit due to the condition of the upper atmosphere from solar activity, but I didn't entirely follow the reasoning.

nothing... we were talking about exospheric variations due to the 11 year solar cycle

Two centuries ago weather and wind were making estimated time of arrival uncertain.
Present days. Space weather and solar wind are making estimated time of arrival uncertain.
