Stuff like this is why I immediately discredit the global climate change crowd. It takes hundreds of thousands if not millions of years for changes to happen globally. The ramping of fossil fuel burning 100 years ago is a fleck of dust on the coffee table of Earth’s time in the solar system.

Not to mention that if it happened once it probably
happened more than once in billions of years.

I respectfully disagree. Like you, I don't buy the global warming BS the Dims and RINOs push. However, I think we have mini warming and cooling cycles that last about 1,000 years inside larger warming and cooling cycles that take millions of years.

Before politics entered "climate science" in the 1990's, what few people talked about climate cycles at the time described our present as the Current Warming Trend that's been going on since around the early to mid 19th century (1800's). That ended the Little Ice Age that started around 1300 AD, which ended the Medieval Warm Period that started around 900 AD, which ended the Dark Ages (300 AD), which ending the Roman Warming Period (the time of Christ).

Basically, are we experiencing global warming? Yes. Is it a bad thing? Nope, not by a long shot. I'll take a slowly warming climate with higher crop yields, more predictable rains, and less plagues (the plandemic notwithstanding) over any of the cooling periods' lower crop yields, decades and century long droughts, and rampant plagues.

If you think modern wars over oil are bad, imagine living when the wars were over crop land and when there was a high demand for slaves to eek out a little more crop yield from what land you had. Oh wait, you don't have to imagine that. We call those things in history "atrocities" without talking about how desperate so many cultures were for survival during the Little Ice Age. Want to know one of the reason indigenous American tribes warred with each other heavily before whites got here? One reason (by far not the only reason) was they were desperate during the Little Ice Age. Want to know why black kingdoms/tribes in subsaharan Africa began capturing other blacks and selling them as slaves? They had horrible droughts converting their surplus crops into horrible crop shortages -- but they had a surplus of people competing for the same crops for survival. The same with Europe and the northern climate becoming inhospitable, while even central Europe was barely hospitable (you may not have frozen to death but you probably starved with the low crop yields).

Just something to think about the next time the left wants us to fear global warming.

You mean to tell me you can’t measure something semi-accurately for 30 years and inevitably determine a man made catastrophic trend on a 4 billion year old planet? Come on, man.
