In recent geological history, we have been in a significant Ice Age Cycle. 100,000 years of cold, with periods of warmth lasting 10-15,000 years. We live such short lives, compared to the eons. People believe that the weather they experience in their lifetime is the ‘norm.’ It is easy to follow the globull climate wackos, to follow with feelings. Real scientists admit we don’t know all the factors, but most (who are not on the government payroll) understand that the Sun is the main driver of conditions on Earth. Back in the Little Ice Age 1300-1850 rudimentary telescopes noticed no sunspots on the surface of the Sun. We know that the Sun is hotter with more sunspots, and cooler with less.
I once read a fascinating theory about our solar system passing through areas of dust, and thus cooling the Earth. The Earth is not just spinning fast, and orbiting the Sun. The entire solar system is moving as part of spinning, spiral galaxy. There could be recurring clouds of dust we pass through.
Other theories, from real scientists, will come and go. In the end I remind people that not very long ago New York and Chicago were under a mile of ice. That cold and ice will return, and the only thing we can do is adapt.
As I have stated previously, I would love to be around in the middle of the next Ice Age, and watch the future Comedy Channel. The viewers will be having a great laugh watching AlGore and his minions saying “the Earth has a fever” while they shiver and guffaw.

You think the climate terrorists are waking up?
Don’t bet on it.
