Earth can regulate its own temperature over millennia, new study finds Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in check.

The Earth’s climate has undergone some big changes, from global volcanism to planet-cooling ice ages and dramatic shifts in solar radiation. And yet life, for the last 3.7 billion years, has kept on beating.

Now, a study by MIT researchers in Science Advances confirms that the planet harbors a “stabilizing feedback” mechanism that acts over hundreds of thousands of years to pull the climate back from the brink, keeping global temperatures within a steady, habitable range.

Just how does it accomplish this? A likely mechanism is “silicate weathering” — a geological process by which the slow and steady weathering of silicate rocks involves chemical reactions that ultimately draw carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and into ocean sediments, trapping the gas in rocks...

“You have a planet whose climate was subjected to so many dramatic external changes. Why did life survive all this time? One argument is that we need some sort of stabilizing mechanism to keep temperatures suitable for life,” Arnscheidt says..

In other words, as the Earth’s temperatures fluctuate over longer stretches, these fluctuations may just happen to be small enough in the geologic sense, to be within a range that a stabilizing feedback, such as silicate weathering, could periodically keep the climate in check, and more to the point, within a habitable zone.

What the climate alarmists will have to to try to do is explain that, and by what mechanism, this natural stabilizing pattern is kaput - and that it is kaput. I don’t think they can meet that challenge.

If it wasn’t a self correction system we would all have been dead a long time ago. That said, with modern technology it’s now possible for idiots like John Kerry and Bill Gates to mess up the system enough and ‘fast enough’ that mother nature won’t be able to compensate.

Seeing as they messed up the social/moral "climate."

MIT has it right-”Divine engineering” means the Divine Engineer knew what He was doing and made it to be durable enough to last for a good long while...

Glory to God.
