OK, let’s say it’s true (and it very well could be) that we are in a brief cooling period.
God help our children and grandchildren when we begin to come out of it and the very same interests start shrieking about AGW, and they have genuine warming data to ‘prove’ it. It won’t be AGW, but they’ll be sanctimonious climate harpies for sure.
The alarmists are like the blind Indian men examining an elephant,one said it was like a tree after feeling the leg,another said it was like a snake after feeling the trunk, another .....
Thanks to SouthTexas for pointing out this article.
“OK, let’s say it’s true ... “
On a similar note, I am really, really sick and tired of any weather that is not “normal” being the fore shadowing of some cataclysmic climatic shift.
It’s weather, and if the climate does change, we can’t do anything but adapt or die.
The premise of global climate change is that the earth’s temperatures have been going up/down over the past 150 years because of man’s move to industrialization (and decades of now dormant atomic bomb testing).
They cannot predict whether those temperatures are going radically UPWARDS or DOWNWARDS, but which ever way they are going, it “absolutely” is man’s fault.
The conclusion that they reach is (A) not only do we not know which way man is sending temperatures, but (B) man MUST make changes to the climate to counteract all of his eco-sins. Sort of like a back seat driver telling you that you are headed the wrong way but won’t tell you if you need to be heading North, South, East, or West. Just “whatever course you are on is WRONG and you have to DO SOMETHING!”. Not so if you are merely in a parking lot.
The demands of Gaia cult are too draconian with too much Marxist redistribution to third world dictatorships (with ample skimming by Pope Al Gore and his connected interests).
Try them for their criminal conspiracy and make all nations of this world PRODUCTIVE instead of wasting resources, energy, and finances on BULLSTALIN.
