But the gist of the whole thing is, Global Warming existed thousands of years ago with no fossil fuels to cause it. So how can the GW alarmists say WE are causing Gw, when clearly it is a natural phenomena, the WE have NO control over?.........
Stop exercising reason before someone gets hurt - probably a woman, child, or person of color.
Just accept your white guilt, bare your throat, and be happy to die for the greater glory of the Planet and its fearless Leaders!
The new STORY is "Well ok this is a naturally recurring phenomena, but man is accelerating the climate changes."
Obviously, all those chariots the Egyptians were driving!
You make a good point - this should help prove that man is not the cause of our current warming cycle.
Wasn't this a case of Global Cooling caused (presumably) by dust?
You miss the point; they find periods of change in the past, then they find evidence of high CO2 levels in the same time frame, they then surmise that the damage caused then was from climate change caused by carbon dioxide but it was unavoidable as no technology existed then and society was unsophisticated and hence, blameless.
The next step in this argument is to fast forward to the present and say that we have all the evidence needed to show that excessive levels of CO2 leads to disaster, we have increasing levels now, we have technology and we are sophisticated enough to use technology to slow or even stop the increasing levels of CO2 so we must do it and we must not brook any resistance.
Perfect argument: if you buy the first part, you must also buy the second part.
It is kind of like when Best Buy sells you a high-tech electronic gizmo; they won't ring you up until they go through their spiel about the extended warranty available and the warning that all electronics break down and they fail without any notice or symptoms, so buy now or pay later.
