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.

In summation, we have wreaked havoc on our environment, and there is no question that with such massive effects on our biosphere, and its diverse and intricate equilibria, we have fundamentally altered many of these equilibria, which will be manifesting itself over time. Yes, we are emitting massive amounts of CO2 and other gases that undoubtedly will have some effect, but unless you do the voodoo math thing, you just cannot get to climate change from here. And if you are at all rational, you will have recognized from the Vostok ice core data that CO2 could not have been the agent provocateur of change. You have no rational source for the massive amounts of CO2 you must have at the end of those 100k year long deep freezes to rocket out of them so abruptly. And even a caveman could see that these events are easily tied to our rickety orbit, which we will not change one iota by passing draconian laws against an innocuous, odorless, colorless gas. And no amount of GHG taxation can provide the funds that would be needed to eliminate the other planet’s gravitational effects on spaceship earth.And we have no reason at present to believe that these astronomically driven events will cease. And it will be somewhat difficult to measure anthropogenic effects against this backdrop of repetitive 400 foot changes in sea level so regular you can set your geologic clock by them.
If anything, what we have learned is that homo sapiens is a master of psychological denial on even more massive scales. Locked in to the Nine Times Rule since the Wisconsin Ice Age, we cannot decide which is the correct religion (there are so many to choose from, aren’t there?), but we regularly discard the pantheon of Greek and Egyptian gods while inventing new religions, like GHG-driven climate change. But the real problem with the Nine Times Rule is that we have reached a critical juncture in the last few centuries of this interglacial period. We have dramatically overpopulated ourselves. We have the fossil record to show us that this is a self-controlling phenomenon. Overuse of resources and trashing one’s environment has been the dirge of many a species. And unless we can find enough “M” class planets, and quickly, then just as quickly this becomes a case of intellectual capacity. Do we have enough? Because even a caveman would get this.
The real question here is do you (get this)? Unfortunately, the answer is that only 11.1% of us have that potential. I am not sure that is enough.
Trees grow back. People like trees. We only cut them down when we need to. When we don’t need to anymore, we replant them and let them grow back.
Forest fires used to burn entire forests to the ground. Now we put the fires out. In Siberia and northern Canada, the trees rarely get to 10 feet high before a forest fire comes through and burns them to the ground.
The eastern US was almost entirely deforested at one time and now there are more trees than there used to be. I am not worried.
