Or none of us really know WTF is going on? Seriously.
Well, briefly and without extreme precision, the first part of the 20th Century -- Global Cooling. The second part of the 20th Century -- Global Warming. Within the last few years, Global Cooling -- the effect of a Dalton Minimum (i.e., sunspots) happening now.
That's just a very imprecise but mostly accurate (in the big picture way) of what's been happening with Global Cooling and Global Warming.
And then, finally, none of this Global Cooling or Global Warming has been "Anthopogenic" -- i.e., like "Anthropogenic Global Warming" (like some politicians and other politicized scientists are saying).
All the rest is a whole lot of detail... :-)
I hope that helps...
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Thanks!
