Wasn’t there an impact event in southern Iraq about this time?
There were too many HumV’s back then.
“I would argue that the last 1,000 years are most critical from the perspective of looking at the future,” he said
I would argue you’re a tunnel visioned idiot.
“The ice caps are sentinels of the earth’s overall climate,” he said. “And the data shows that at all of these sites, the rate at which the ice is vanishing is accelerating.
“To me, these are indicators that these areas are already being adversely impacted by changes in our current climate.”
The earth’s average global temperature has been slowly, gradually getting warmer since the end of the “little” ice age. The last 100 years do not represent a change, but a continuation of a longer trend.
However, some scientists believe that we may now be at the peak of that trend (isn’t always hottest, or coldest just before the cycle trends in the opposite direction) and we may be heading into a cooling trend.
CO2
(1) is insufficient to force heating/cooling trends; and
(2) is not a zero-sum factor (not only adds to the insulation but changes the climate dynamics in ways that also contribute to cloud formation, precipitation AND cooling); and
(3) because of (2) it has a finite, not infinite range in the level it will accumulate in the atmosphere; and
(4)because (3) is ignored in the ICCP climate “model”, at the root if it’s calculations, the model’s results have never been correct.
Amazing how rapid evapouration of water after a worldwide flood event could result in perceived drought conditions as well as a large drop in temperature.
Since the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago, this doesn’t seem that odd.

Just goes to show WE ARE VERTUALLY POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF NATURE.
(I would like to see a little cooling down here in Texas HOT, HOT...)
I’m kinda partial to Robert Felix’s theory that undersea volcanoes in the Pacific heat that ocean and cause “El Nino” weather effects.
And I also admire Henrik Svensmark’s recent research showing that periodicly the magnetic field strength of our sun decreases and this allows more cosmic rays (charged particles) to penetrate our atmosphere. These high speed particles hit atoms and molecules in our atmosphere and ionize them in a catalytic way via electron tranfer and cause the formation of low lying clouds, as water molecules are attracted to the newly ionized air molecules (like seeding a cloud).
More of these clouds over land causes more rain (and floods) or snow (and glaciers) in certain areas. More of these clouds over the ocean cools the evaporation process that leads to monsoons, and causes more droughts in certain areas.
