LOL,

When the temperatures did rise for a while, they were also rising on Mars and Venus. CO2 and my gas guzzling car, or that fireball putting out 3.86 x 10^26 Watts that has been known to fluctuate in output?

As a child I was in Italy and Spain a few times each. I remember going down cobblestone roads that were Roman built. Why is it, those Romans can build a road and 1,975 years later it’s still a working road, but today with all our high tech and machines, we can’t build a road to last 20 years?

The Romans knew how to build shit.

Because the Romans were doing it with stone to get a road. Now we are doing it with paper to get a works program.
