We have seen how all those eerily regular and severe climate changes are the result of earth’s rickety orbit and how the other planets cause this bullying. Not too much we can do about that. We have also seen how carbon dioxide was a spectator at these events and not the agent provocateur some would have us believe. We will now take a last turn through the ice ages to better understand what these events actually meant to us. Call it climate change in your face. There will be a great many of you (88.9%, to be precise) that will have a difficult time with this installment. Because it contains way too much blatantly obvious truth. And the Nine Times Rule will not allow you to believe what you are about to read, so my advice is maybe you better skip to Part V so you will not have to confront yourself. We are about to learn what climate change means to us, as a species.
THE FIFTH HERESY
Zooming back to 2 million years ago, we see with the clarity of archaeological conviction that climate change has been very good to us. Spend some time reading tons of information on hominid evolution, and you will soon come to know that scientists in that field have long speculated that climate change over the past few millions of years, yes, those same two million or so years has been a very effective agent provocateur in our evolution. Our brain case size has experienced dramatic increases, in fits and starts, of course, to go from about 500 cubic centimeters (cc) to about 2,500cc in the last 2-3 million years. ... we start this discussion about three million years ago.

Submitted for our evaluation by William F. McClenney, Professional Geologist #4430 (CA) who changed sides during his multi-year, painstaking research into all aspects of anthropogenic versus natural causes of climate changes. In his own words “The results of this research are startling. Not only can I safely state that the chances of AGW occurring due to greenhouse gases (GHG) is remote at best, and if it did occur might very well be the first time in the geologic record, but that GHG theorists are simply on the wrong side of the decimal point in this debate.” You may not agree with everything he says. I didn’t. But it is overall very insightful, interesting and provocative.

PING!
Last part coming up!
“We have also seen how carbon dioxide was a spectator at these events and not the agent provocateur some would have us believe.”
Often wondered how a result could be a cause.
Only in the mind of Al Gore and those who are looking for an excuse to control our lives even more.
"Our brain case size has experienced dramatic increases, in fits and starts, of course, to go from about 500 cubic centimeters (cc) to about 2,500cc [FALSE - I don't know what hydrocephalic humans this guy has been measuring, but it isn't your average modern man: Homo Sapiens Sapiens. The brain case capacity of modern humans range between 950cc and 1800cc with the average being 1450cc.] in the last 2-3 million years."
I really wish his factual information was better than this stuff he tosses off the top of his head. It detracts from the possibly good stuff on the impact of CO2 on the environment... Sheesh.
