On Climate

Look, I don't doubt humans polluting our atmosphere might contribute to climate change.

I do, however, have a HUGE problem with the mass hysteria associated with this.  So I want to lay out a couple of things for people to chew on.

1.  55 million years ago the average temperature was about 16 or more degrees CENTIGRADE (not Fahrenheit) warmer.  That's a LOT.

2.  We are currently in one of the COLDEST periods in Earth's history.

So... why the hysteria?  Who is pushing this "agenda" of climate change?  Even scientific research done by respectable institutions will say things like this:

"We show from paleoclimate data that the eventual global warming due to doubled CO2 will be about 3°C (5.4°F) when only so-called fast feedbacks have responded to the forcing. Fast feedbacks are changes of quantities such as atmospheric water vapor and clouds, which change as climate changes, thus amplifying or diminishing climate change. Fast feedbacks come into play as global temperature changes, so their full effect is delayed several centuries by the thermal inertia of the ocean, which slows full climate response. However, about half of the fast-feedback climate response is expected to occur within a few decades. Climate response time is one of the important 'details' that climate models help to elucidate."

Please NOTE the effect of man's potential interference.  3C.

Life survived and THRIVED when the average global temperature was 16C warmer.

So for the love of everything sane, PLEASE STOP!  STOP IT.

Climate is far more complex that most people realize.  It is a combination of ocean, air, solar and other influences and OUR influence is the least of these things.  Continental drift alone has manipulated climate over the history of our planet.

Seriously.  Please.  Just STOP it.

Now, if you want to find something to be concerned about, look at the effects of pollution on LIFE, not on temperature.  The effects are FAR more devastating.  Do the research yourself.  Research amphibians to start, then check out respiratory ailments over the past couple hundreds of years.  It will be upsetting...  but it is far more important than a minor temperature fluctuation.
