“Back in the 1970s climate scientists were predicting that the Earth was cooling”

~~~

IF we found out right now that the earth was about to plummet into a hard cooling period, what do you think the scientists would propose we do to stop it?

I’ll bet the farm that they would NOT propose more CO2 !

That is because CO2 has very nominal greenhouse properties, and it’s presence is always very effemeral.

This whole thing is an epic sham

:: No, they still prefer to say global warming ::

Because they can NEVER say what they really want us to believe: Enough tax money will allow them to control the weather.

The last actual climate change occurred 12,800 years ago with the end of the mega fauna (mammoths etc), the burning of 4% or Earth’s vegetation, and the Younger Dryas event.

- All the heat is concentrated in Antarctica. That’s how science works. -

Yeah, there's only so much heat to go around. When it gets really hot somewhere, somewhere else gets really cold. There are probably computer models that show how this works. ;-)

The Earth could slip into another Ice Age,

Remember the 1970s? Remember what the anti-human ecofreaks were predicting?

The Global Warming models started to look ridiculous so the media shifted to “Climate Change”.

When it is hot, we call that Climate Change and we’re all doomed!

When it’s cold, we call that weather and yeah, means nothing.

Interesting they would pick benchmark regions to measure that are not independently verified.

The warming hoaxers just won't stop. We're descending into another ice age. We should be thankful for the brief warm period we have enjoyed.

History Speaks and Science is ignored in favor of leftist political global change thought designed to manipulate and mobilize people and policy through fear.

Busy year for those uncontrolable Volcanos! This year.....Hawian volcanoes, Icelanic volcanoes, LaPalma volcanoes, the Tonga Eruption, both Hawian volcanoes, pumping out CO21 and all kinds of particulate in the atmosphere, blocking sunlight. One day of eruptions can produce more CO2 and particulate than a years worth of Automobile pollution! Past results were bad for some places.

"The Year Without a Summer: Mount Tambora Volcanic Eruption The dust from the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) caused a worldwide lowering of temperatures during the summer of 1816, when the Almanac, legend has it, inadvertently but correctly predicted snow for July.

The issues within the Roman Republic, which came to a head with Caesar’s assassination may have been exacerbated by the megaeruption of the Alaskan volcano Okmok. This generated extreme climate conditions across the Northern Hemisphere and could have contributed to widespread famine.

Spikes in light-blocking sulfate particles and volcanic shards in ice cores at 43 BCE represent evidence of this eruption. These volcanic aerosols could have cooled southern Europe and northern Africa by up to 7°C. Roman and Greek philosophers wrote about cold weather and famine around this time period, and Egypt experienced similar famines.
Problems within the Republic that lead to its end were primarily political in nature and on the level of the elite, and were not related to popular revolution or a subsistence crisis, even though regional responses to a changed climate may have also played a role.

The climate instability peaked in the 6th century, likely as a result of the spasm of volcanic activity in the 530s and 540s CE that led to widespread cooling in Europe and across the globe, which endured for at least 150 years. Two volcanic eruptions were particularly impactful on the climate during this time period, one in 535 or 536 CE and one in 539 or 540 CE. The eruption in 535 or 536 CE probably impacted the Western Roman Empire the most directly.

The eruptions shot clouds of volcanic ash into the air. This blocked out sunlight, causing an average drop in global temperatures of 2°C, the greatest in 2,000 years. The lack of sunlight and drop in temperatures lead to mass crop failure. Droughts, which can also be triggered by volcanic eruptions, may have contributed as well. These eruptions also impacted the Maya civilization in Central America.

University of Alabama UHC who keeps track of global temperatures from satellite data shows no significant warming for the last 8½ years. So, the constant drumbeat of an ever-warming planet is total media created BS to push an agenda.

I can’t wait for the global warming to really kick in so I can sit under the palm trees at our cabin in northern Minnesota in January.

I hear you! Putting on my optimist hat, the cooler weather has done wonders for my fall/winter vegetable garden.

Now, if I can just find the annoying pest that is devouring my tiny cabbage and tomato seedlings in their little germination pots...
