but the window of opportunity is closing very soon” and the world has 12 years until carbon emissions reach “a point of no return.”

Gee, that's funny,

40 years ago they told us we only have 10 years,

30 years ago they told us we only have 10 years,

20 years ago they told us we only have 10 years,

10 years ago they told us we only have 10 years.

So now it's up to 12 years, so I guess that's good news.

Guy named Dan Pena did a test himself going to the north and south poles with his wife and he concluded it’s false, global warming isn’t affecting our earth, just wanted to put that out there in case you were interested. Also he said there have only been 12 people since the earth has formed that have done global warming tests, interesting right....?

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Why is Central Park (in New York City) no longer encased in a 2,000 foot thick glacier as it was only a few thousand years ago?

Hi, Lily. I’ve used this about 3 times on FB since we last talked.

And I read recently (within the last couple of years) that there's evidence that the climate is warming on Mars.

Is my SUV or my central heating causing *that* as well?

Don't know about your stats, but I believe in global warming and cooling. Why? Because this rock has gone through cold and hot cycles since its had an atmosphere. The main cause, a big bright yellow globe we see in the sky every day. A secondary cause is volcanic action, which is not as active nowadays.

More Sun spots = more heat in the solar system. Less Sun spots = cooling. The Sun is currently headed into sun spot minimum within its approximate 11 year cycle. I'm always befuddled that no one discusses this proven fact.

This is not like some guy on a white board trying to figure out Dark Matter. Sun spot activity is observable. It has been for decades.

Question for the AGW types: What exactly caused the Earth to warm up from the mini-ice age back around the Dark ages? It was long before the industrial revolution.

They don't and can't because they don't recognize the power of our Star and its cycles of cooling and heating on Earth and the other planets in our solar system. Read my reply above.

as well as crazy unseasonable weather

There is nothing crazy or unseasonable about the weather. The media like playing up spring snowstorms and things like that for ratings. But they have zero knowledge of weather history and how often those events have happened in the past. There was nothing unusual about the floods either other than we don't see them every year, and the dikes have made them worse.

only a few thousand years ago

The ice left about 15,000 years ago. Nonetheless your point is valid.

It is discussed. There is no corresponding 11 year temperature cycle. Also when there are lots of spots the sun is dimmed and there is less heat sent out. That effect is temporary as the spots quickly rotate out of direct facing view. There are much more complicated weather effects from low solar than high solar activity. One effect is more blocking. That's neither cooling or warming, but can amplify cooling in the right circumstances.

To a billionaire $15,000 is pocket change.To a planet with a history a billion (plus) years long 15,000 years is the blink of an eye.

For someone who never heard of this it may elicit a smile, on the other hand you may want to keep in mind that there has been a steady increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding all over as well as one season running into one another along with crazy weather patterns worldwide.

The number of major earthquakes and volcanic eruptions varies from year to year, decade to decade, century to century and probably almost any time frame studied. This is likely related to chance and a number of other factors that are not fully understood. “Crazy weather patterns” likely happen for the same types of reasons. Whether either type of activity is increasing depends largely on the time frame included in the study.

I am not sure that there is any real relationship to the “3600 signature cycle” that you have referred to in posts over the last year or so. I managed to find a few blogs and some of your other posts that mention this using an internet search, but no authoritative references or even information about who Velikovsky actually is. Do you have links that you can share?
