I'm thinking that technology can do a lot to offset much of this.

If that’s the case, there goes 10 and 6 meter DX out the window. Amateur Radio and general bookmark bump.

If it takes Hell freezing over to shut up the warming kooks and their media puppets, so be it.

Global warming might be why humans are here and Neanderthals are not.

Though there are very few Neanderthal skulls, two of them that have sinuses, have an unusual, bony protrusion in their sinuses, which led to the theory that this would have slowed and warmed the passage of very cold air into their trachea. And in very cold weather, this would give them a decided advantage.

However, when the world warmed, this feature, it was theorized, could have resulted in Neanderthals having perpetual and debilitating sinus infections. And might have possibly led to their extinction.

What kind of technology offset 4,000 meters of ice in Chicago?

I majored in Geology in college back in the eighties, with minors in Meteorology and Astronomy. I'm not saying I'm an expert, nor am I a climate scientist--I never used my degrees professionally. I merely throw that out there as a frame of reference where I was exposed to the climate debate of the time.

Back then, the coming ice age was on everyone's lips the way man-made global warming is today. I think it made the cover of Time magazine at one point. Solar activity was somewhat lower then than it has been in recent years. Amateur radio operators have all kinds of stories about how bad the radio bands were back in those days without the Sun heavily irradiating the upper atmosphere. I'm sure a lot of that is subjective.

From a scientific standpoint, we really could not find any direct correlation between human activity and decreasing temperatures, even though non-scientists and those scientists whose livelihoods were tied to grants from the federal government and corporations whose profits are tied to the public being alarmed put out article after article that we are to blame.

Fact is, climate changes constantly, in spite of and despite us. Whether or not we are headed for an ice age, I cannot say. I can say that the warming trend recorded by certain people directly corresponds with--wait for it--increased solar activity. That's right, as the Sun puts out more energy, the temperatures recorded on Earth tend to be warmer. The founder of The Weather Channel has actually been charting this for decades. Who'd have thought that more solar radiation means higher temperatures?

Listen to Joe Bastardi’s weather blog for the next 2 weeks and his comment that all the globull warming folks are ignoring the still frozen great lakes and the slow start to the spring tornado season due to the cold temperatures:

Ronny, as a historian, I endorse your comments.

They found a way not to be wrong .... Climate Change .... anything bad (routine and recurring or not) is attributable to climate change which is directly attributable (in their minds or semblance thereof) to mankind. And the debate is over!

This graph from the Canadian Ice Service “clearly shows that the current ice coverage (Great Lakes) is way above the normal (green line).”

“The second highest since the beginning of the satellite measured era (1980) is much lower at 18 percent back in 1996.”

We’ve been in an ice age for about 3 million years. We are currently enjoying an inter-glacial period.

Human beings, in the form of homo erectus, appeared about 2 million years ago.

I still prefer warming compared to what’s going to happen in the next glacial period.

Allowing human society to crank out the carbon emissions would help ameliorate the cold Hell that awaits us just a little, I think. But noooooooo.....
