Of Course the Climate Has Always Been Changing

Climate is the description of the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area, according to NASA. We think of Florida or Aruba having a warmer climate, compared to Maine or Canada.

Weather is short term, whereas climate is long term.

As NASA explains:

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

What is meant by “long periods of time”? Given the Earth’s age of around 4.5 billion years, one might think these long periods of time should be in the millions of years. But instead scientists look at averages over extremely short periods of time, e.g., 30 years.

Putting those numbers in perspective, if the Earth’s age was a single day, this 30-year period would represent 0.006 second. How short a time period is this?

Light, which can travel around the globe 7.5 times in one second, would only travel 112 miles in this small fraction of a second. But that’s the small observation period of our climate which forms the basis of claims of man-made of climate change.

For perspective, here is an Associated Press article was published by the Washington Post on Nov. 2, 1922, a hundred years ago. This article has circulated on the internet and even far left Snopes confirmed its authenticity.

Kudos to Snopes for inadvertently throwing water on the entire radical environmental agenda with this one statement,

It’s Natural

Some authors are forgetting one very important thing; the Earth is a living dynamic changing entity. They can assume the Earth is a fixed unchanging vessel and it is far from it. As demands are placed upon the Earth it adjusts accordingly with variable Weather, Winds, temps and surface pressures to name just a few variables. These variables adjust constantly to compensate for Volcanoes, Hurricanes, Sun Spots and other phenomena that make the Earth stay in a potential unbalanced state of Equilibrium.................

DOH! Allegedly, if it ain’t on record, it doesn’t count. Fidiots. And were paying the price for it.

The following was written by Roger Koops, and is probably the best lay explanation of natural climate change I’ve ever read.

americanthinker.com recently started auto loading a hillsdale college survey.

Upon loading first article, another web page is opened with the survey.

Extremely annoying. If the articles were not so well written, american thinker
would go the way of the drudge report.

Why does the first billion years of its existent does the Earth become a frozen ball? Or, why, for last 1-3 million years are there ice ages?

“Earth’s age of around 4.5 billion years, one might think these long periods of time should be in the millions of years. But instead scientists look at averages over extremely short periods of time, e.g., 30 years.”

I’ve been saying that for years. It’s ridiculous. Also, every time they measure something for 30 years, it’s always a supposedly negative trend. Every time.

Case in point, Michael Mann extending his infamous “hockey stick” graph to infinity, just like they told us not to in ninth grade algebra.

Just around 12 thousand years ago there was no Great Lakes. It was ice.

During the height of the Roman empire it was about three degrees warmer than now...or more.

Greenland was called Greenland why?

The climate will ultimately be what God wants it to be. They need to be more concerned about their final destination’s climate by making sure they are right with Jesus.

[ifinnegan]

Climate isn’t changing unless the Earth moves on its axis.

Well said.

We used to call this “summer”.
