And here I sit in the middle of the Great Lakes where the Laurentide ice sheet was a mile thick and was thawing only 100 great grandmothers ago. Shuts the libtards right up as they believe the Earth is static, and oh astronomy hasn't changed.
The truth is not “useful” to the left, thus they avoid it like the plague.

Excellent contrast of data portrayal!
One graph constructed to provoke an emotional response.
The other graph constructed to allow and foster an intellectual analysis for those willing to consider it and smart enough to understand its implications.

In the supplied temperature vs carbon dioxide chart it’s important to note that carbon dioxide changes FOLLOW temperature changes by 800 years. Carbon dioxide changes CAN’T cause the observed temperature changes.
What’s the cause of the observed changes in both temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide? The distance between the sun and the southern oceans in southern summers. Changes in solar radiation striking earth’s southern oceans cause greater and lesser ocean absorption rates of atmospheric carbon. As the writer points out, the process is governed by earth’s 105,000 year orbital precession cycle included in the Milankovitch cycle.
But...but...but....
It’s “settled science”!
Follow “the science”!
Global warming!
I mean.... Climate change!
I’ll accept manmade warming is real if China India and other countries besides the west change their ways. Along with that if the super connected stop buying waterfront property.

People who think they can CHANGE THE CLIMATE are NOTHING BUT GOD HATERS!!
I remember the 1970s when we were constantly bombarded with “The Coming Ice Age” from all news and science sources. There was even a plan to mine coal, grind it to dust, mix it with oil and spread it on the Ice caps to absorb more heat to prevent the New Ice Age!
Now they are trying to “scrub” all mention of it from 1970s new sources so they can say “We never said that!”
But they did.
“On any given topic, most people won’t listen to you unless you flash some credentials.”
People should listen to WHAT is said. Too many people listen to WHO said what.
They want a shortcut:
This EXPERT said X, so that’s what I think.
For starters, that is an unreliable shortcut. Secondly, repeating someone else’s opinion does not constitute thinking. Thinking is a personal action. Like urinating, it cannot be delegated.
Not that the world ought not to turn to clean energy sources, but make good choices. Nuclear energy is clean and almost limitless. There simply isn’t enough land to support the windmills or solar farms needed to support any significant part of our electric needs let alone provide reliable electric power. EVs might have a place in urban areas but efficient ICE vehicles will still be necessary for large parts of the country and for heavy uses like trucks. Unfortunately climate change is a cult religion and has an unquestionable dogma.
Good article, well worth reading.
