There is no correct temperature for the earth. It is constantly changing. In the morning it is one temperature and changes during the day and throughout the year.
It’s pretty much accepted by all that the climate is changing. It has always changed. The problem is their contention that any warming is anthropogenic and the result of our burning “fossil” fuels. All of their dire predictions that never happen and adjusted temperatures are just rationalizations requiring the end of capitalism, higher taxes and more government.
How long will it take for a moose or two to eat the average corn field?
Farming corn and moose/elk don’t go well together.
At current levels, 400ppm, the planet is almost at a CO2 minimum (180ppm). The planet is way off it’s historic CO2 maximum of 2,000 ppm. Man-man made CO2 might be saving the planet.
Colder climate tolerant vorn has been a thing for awhile.
Man made global warming is a hoax.
Global warming is a hoax or better yet a thing of the past perhaps 5,000 years ago. The Earth has been cooling since and is about to enter a very frigid period of a super grand solar minimum wit hall four ofthe sun’s magnetic lobes out of phase, while due to the natural perturbations of orbits, both the sun and the earth will be moving away from each other for most of the next 300 years.
Farmer plants modern short season GM corn, attracts mooses and elkes, farmer shoots mooses and elkes, farmer eats mooses and elkes. Short faced bear eats farmer ...
So you think we are no longer in the Quaternary (A geologic time period characterized by cyclic transcontinental glaciations.). Why do you think that?
It’s global ‘CHANGE’... which has been happening since the dawn of time...
Wait until these people find out that the temperature is natural variability, and not permanent. I doubt it would make the news though.
The climate changes on a regular basis. It’s our lives that are so short we perceive the change when it happens as catastrophic or disruptive.

Reminds me of the old song (Blue Moon) with a lead in that goes...”He-e-e-r we go again...!”
Forty five years ago Progressive Farmer magazine was saying that because of THE COMING ICE AGE crops grown in the North would now be grown in the South.
Then a few years back, the same magazine, which I subscribed to for fifty years, said just the opposite, because of “Global Warming”.
I dropped my subscription.
Given that just 10,000 years ago, there was a mile thick ice cap over Mr. Driedger's fields, it sure is great that he can grow corn there now. Back then, nothing at all would grow.
The issue with "climate change" is not that it is happening, it's whether or not it's catastrophic and is caused by increased CO2 in the atmosphere from man's use of fossil fuels. Given that millions of acres of farm land can now now be used for growing corn instead of ice, it's hard to argue that it's catastrophic. Given that warmup started millennia ago it's also hard to argue that burning gasoline in your SUV is the cause.
Note the unexamined assumption: Global warming is bad.
Is it?
In recorded history, every time we’ve had cooling, crops have failed and massive percentages of the population starved.
In the paleontological record, every time the earth has been warm, life exploded.
If you like life, embrace warming.
You do like life and living things, don’t you? DON’T YOU???
Leaving out ‘anthropogenic’ before global warming = leaving out ‘illegal’ before immigrants.
In sum - unlike the alarmists, climate change (the climate has ALWAYS been changing) is neither the end of LIFE writ large on earth, the end of human civilization, or the end of the economy or our economic systems.
LIFE and humanity will adapt and along with adapting will mitigate some of the negative impacts of the climate.
In microcosmic ways there will be winners and losers, species that fail and species that succeed as more than they previously. It will not be “the end”, just change, which is what earth has always done.
It is sort of amazing that the atheists and their friends among the climate alarmists are likely all on one hand true believers in evolution and simultaneously deniers of the largest impact on evolution - CHANGE and the need to adapt; inspite of how massive that impact is seen in the immense diversity of life on earth. It did not arrive amidst stasis - it arose with change.
Well then, not a reason for alarm!
This is a good thing.
Too much talk on the dangers of global warming, not enough talk on the benefits..
“Global warming is not a hoax”
anthropogenic global warming is indeed a hoax ... CO2 concentration has reached a four million year high at 400 ppm high, and current temperature have hardly budged and are not even close to what all the models have said should have happened with CO2 levels that high, and our temperatures are no where near the highest temperatures in four million years ...
