Questions for The Religious MMCC Faithful.... If not for human beings.....
1. What is the perfect average global temperature for this planet?
2. Should it be expected to remain constant? If so, for how long? (Geological History proves not constant)
3. If not influenced by humans, should the average global temperature be going up or down? By how much over what period of time?
4. If all questions above are answered, you have a “Scientific Control” on which to base or validate a variable result or observation. Therefore, what delta has human beings influenced from the control?
WHAT? You can’t answer these very basic scientific questions? You mean you only have a theory? What then is the hypothesis again? If Humans do what, then you hypothesize a result of what? How exactly do we “cool” this planet? What experiment has been conducted that can produce repeatable and empirical results to prove a solution to the problem?
Wait! What scientific experiment was done to prove the cause of the problem? You know, that a .01% change in CO2 to a given volume of air heats said air to a measurable degree? We haven’t done that experiment yet?
We have a historical record of climate change and its effects on civilization.
1. Roman Warm Period, from about the birth of Christ to about 350 A. D.. The world was warmer than it is now. Civilization flourished in northern latitudes in places like Gaul and Roman Britain where civilization had not previously existed. It was a period of relative prosperity, peace, and culture.
2. As the Roman Warm Period ended and the earth cooled, the climatic change cause nomadic Central Asian tribes to push into Central Europe, which in turn caused Germanic tribes to pour over the Roman frontier, and eventually bring about the end of the Western Empire. The cold period that followed was the nadir of Western Civilization, known as “The Dark Ages.”
3. Starting around 900 A. D., the climate warmed again during the Medieval Warm Period. This was the time Vikings settled and raised cattle in Greenland (which is not done today because it’s too cold). Civilization flourished in what was called the High Middle Ages; universities were founded, cloth halls and great cathedrals were built.
4. The climate turned cold again. The ice advanced in Greenland and ended the Viking settlements. The colder climate in Western Europe reduced crop yields, so that food was no longer abundant for the expanded population. The lack of nutrition and colder, wetter climate made the population susceptible to disease, which soon appeared in the form of “The Black Death.”
So in addition to not knowing the “correct” temperature of the earth, the climate change charlatans ignore the basic lesson of history:
Warm = prosperity = good
Cold = Dark Ages = bad
This is why one of the IPCC emails blatantly stateed “we have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period.”
