The problem with climatology, is that it’s a science which basis it’s future predictions on readings taken from the past. It doesn’t matter if your climate scientist is for global warming/climate change or against such dire predictions. The fact is, you can not predict the climate of the future based on the past.

It’s like looking at the weather from the past month, and then trying to predict the weather for the next month. The earth has cycles which for the most part are rather predictable in their appearance. When it is the 20th or 21st of December winter is here, when the same dates occur in March spring is her, and in June there will be summer and in September comes fall. What is completely unpredictable is the severity of the weather during these seasons.

Regardless of the variations of occasionally hot summers, or occasionally cold winters these seasons have come and gone since the dawn of the human race, and they will continue until the end of the human race.

Oh how wish though on this rather cold March day, that at some point in my lifetime I will see palm trees and white sandy beaches during the winter without having to spend a couple of grand to get closer to the equator. Alas, I highly doubt that will ever occur.

Well, that’s not really so.

Why do I say that? Because we have had Ice Ages. There were times when it was a heck of a lot colder, for tens of thousands of years.

Warmer? No, there have been no Fire Age, or whatever you would call something equally warmer. The weather we have now is called an Interglacial. It is as warm as it gets. Maybe a few thousand years ago it was slightly warmer by a few degrees Celsius. But never hot. The whole planet won’t get hot like the Left thinks it will. BUT... Someday the ice WILL return.
