global cooling is not good.

[bmwcyle]

It not a suitable place for man nor beast.

[SampleMan]

global cooling is not good.

Precisely. We can only HOPE that we have the ability to heat the entire planet. Otherwise much of the currently habitable land mass will someday be mile thick ice.

[rahbert]

mammoth fossils of what?

[AdAstraPerArdua]

Humans have always tried to live in the bit of the planet between too hot and too cold. We need to make sure that bit always exists.

[Publius6961]

Those damned 700,000 year-old SUVs, power plants, humans breathing in and out !!!

[Publius6961]

Right.

[guitar4jesus]

Are they sure it wasn't the food?


:-D

It should be plain by now that the earth's climate has changed on its own, without any human intervention, over the past millions of years. A lot of those changes have resulted in long periods when the earth was not at all hospitable to human life.

Indeed, instead of humanity destroying the earth, the jury is still out as to whether humanity can survive the actions of the earth.

It should also be plain that advocates of the so-called theory of "global warming" is agenda driven and that agenda is far more about reducing liberty and increasing the power and control of central government than it is about saving the earth.

Global Climate change, on the other hand, should be focused on

1) to what extent is the climate really changing;

2) where does that change damage human survival;

3) where does that change help humanity; and

4) to what extent should humanity change its activities to mitigate the change.

The current HUMAN settlement of Britain is in danger of being replaced by the influx of an evil virus commonly known as islam.

"Global Climate change, on the other hand, should be focused on

3) where does that change help humanity; and
4) to what extent should humanity change its activities to mitigate the change."

Excellent. That is what the plan should be, if people were using logic and reason. But liberals operate on feelings, not logic, so the debate is nowhere near logical.

[aligncare]

...but the global whining, I mean warming, hysteria will continue unabated; as long as the issue can be used to political ends by Socialists/Democrats, Greens, Opportunists and the like.

[edcoil]

Only mad dogs and englishman go out in the noon day sun!

[RightWhale]

Do they have estimates of the dates of these seven freeze-out periods?

[NewHampshireDuo]

If you click on "news.bbc.co.uk ..." at the bottom of the excerpted article, they show a graph that shows the warm vs the cold cycles.

[Defiant]

It wasn't the food. Every time they tried to establish a civilization there, along came some tribe from the south that wanted THEIR gods worshipped, or else they would commit suicide stonings and thumpings with a stick. It was terrible.
