Liberals want to hug trees and starve them to death at the same time. I say give them a feast.

“During the past 100,000 years, human societies have witnessed.” Prove human societies have been around for that long. History is measured in written words, recorded, translated, and transmitted to future generations. There is no written history in your time frame. Nonsense.

In all articles you will find our most pleasant climate referred to as an inter glacial period. This is accurate. The reason this is accurate is the norm is full blown glacial periods lasting hundreds of thousands of years with brief interludes as what we experience now.

Geologically speaking we may just be in a brief warming period but still in an ice age. By definition an ice age is not ended until the polar caps have melted. In fact the polar ice caps may melt and great increases in sea level may occur. The increase will be over thousands of years and man will slowly move back from the coasts with little economic disruption. If we are truly at the end of an ice age great swaths of continents will thrive as our coasts retreat. Canada and Siberia of Russia will be the big winners on this.

Man does not have one damn thing to do with this. The thermonuclear furnace known as the sun which is not constant and orbital mechanics determine ice ages.

Ice ages are normal. We live in a wonderful abnormal time of warmth. Enjoy the abnormality as Ice Ages are hell on all life.

ps

I forgot to add, CO2 is plant food.

Today the world is reaping record harvests due to increase in CO2 levels. The increase in CO2 are a function of mans use of hydrocarbons and increases in world temperatures that decrease the solubility of CO2 in the oceans. We really do not know which is the major driver of increased CO2. If a so called scientists tells you it is man or another so called scientist tells you it warming of the oceans neither one is a scientist unless they say it "may be for these reasons."We really do not know. However, geological what is happening today is totally and 100% what has happened in the geologic past before man ever trod foot on earth.

So, the question I put to you is this: After reviewing the information above, and perhaps doing your own research, what would be the ideal concentration of CO2?

If all of this were true, and there is pretty hard evidence that the huge masses (relatively) of CO2 increase come from oceans that have warmed,-if all of this were true then that would suggest that with an inexorable return of the cold side of the cycle we should be producing as much CO2 as we can to protect the plant life when the naturally produced CO2 is curtailed.

CO2 + water + sunlight = Glucose (plant food) and O2 (which all life on Earth needs to survive).

What part of this can the "pro-science" Leftists not understand? It's called photosynthesis. I learned about it in 3rd grade Life Science class...in Kentucky.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

CO2 not only benefits plants, but it also benefits all life that depends on oxygen. It is a little known fact that the photosynthesis process in plants and microorganisms create all of the oxygen on Earth.

Yes, folks seem to forget that plants produce hydrocarbons and give off the oxygen atoms when they “split” molecules of good old water to obtain the needed hydrogen atoms.

After the end of Pleistocene (Ice Age) we entered the Holocene. THe early Holocene was marked by perfect temperatures world-wide, much warmer than today by several degrees. Carbon Dioxide was measures higher than today. Farming was at elevations some 1500 feet higher up slopes than today. Growing seasons were longer.

Ever see those corpulent goddess figurines? It was the Goddess age as humans had plenty of food supply and mated like bunnies to replenish the species following the massive floods of the end of the Ice Age.

Wars were non-existent because there were no worries about food.
This period lasted a few thousand years then the climate turned cold. Farming was harder. Food became scarce and roving bands of bandits went in search of food. Cities were now built with a fortress like mind.

Climate has much to do with human society, but it is a much warmer climate rich in CO2 that creates optimum living conditions.

Why do I know so much about this? I have been researching all of this as part of a book that I have been writing that spans pre-and post ice age.

Al Gore and his ilk are full of bunk. Does man affect climate? Yes, of course, locally or even regionally. But the Earth and the Sun as well as the Solar System have much more to do with our climate than man does.

For example, one way man affects climate locally. Take a city with all that asphalt. Local temperatures will increase due to the heat rising off the pavement at night. Slash and burn agriculture can also affect climate locally. But Volcanoes affect things globally...arrghhh.

I have been harping on that for decades, that next ice age will kill 10 times as many humans as next peak warming period. Even with all the advances in science, a winter storm kills lot more people than a heat wave, in United States.

Add to list: “... the Earth and the Sun as well as the Solar System ...” ocean currents and volcanism.

Just be glad no one is advocating a return to the O2 levels of the Triassic and Jurassic ...

agriculture became a much more dominate

"Dominate" is a verb. "Dominant" is the adjective.

Yes. In fact, former Greenpeace ecologist Patrick Moore points out that if left alone, the Earth would eventually suffocate all life in only about 2 million more years. (And we got really close to this in the last ice age). This is because living things suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and use it in ways that do not naturally return to the atmosphere.

For example: Chalk

The fossil fuels and cement industry have been blamed for destroying the Earth. However, ironically, they are the two major industries that are putting carbon back into the atmosphere. The fossil fuels that we have burned so far have added 11 million years to life on Earth.
