Why are we pretending to fight the Current Warm Period? It’s not as warm as the past few warm periods like the Medieval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period, nor the Minoan Warm Period. Besides we can’t stop it anyway and it’s probably got 2 to 4 centuries left before we enter another centuries long cooling period.
“Why are we pretending to fight the Current Warm Period? “
If you’re a Mayfly and your whole life is one day, then you can’t conceive of such a long cycle. What’s going on at noon is easily projected to cause the death of all Mayflies.
The first thing that someone needs to answer is: What exactly is the ideal average temperature of the planet supposed to be?
Until we know that, the how can we tell if we are warming or cooling?
Or how do we know what the end goal is supposed to be, IOW, which direction do we want to go in? Or do we want to stay the same?
Not to mention that suppose CO2 emissions do cause warming, then would it not make sense for the planet to be warmer so less fossil fuels are used for heating, thereby reducing warming?
And of course, increasing taxes is always the answer to every “crisis” the left invents and inflicts on us.
For my part, give me warming.
The equator and the poles will not see much difference, but the mid latitudes will then have lower heating costs and longer growing seasons, resulting in an increased food supply.
I see no down side to that.
Why are we treating Russia & China as our enemies when it is clear that our enemies are in Western Europe and here?
They want to take our meat and turn us into weaklings with failing health.
