“Global warming already happened—10 degrees by all accounts—and the results were not as dire as folks are making it out to be.”
Who says it has risen 10 degrees? Is it the same group that designed the “hocky-stick graphs”? There is NO credible proof since the ones making the “historical records” are the one’s who actually believe that man is making “CLIMATE CHANGE!” Go ask the dinosaurs about it since they were here before man was able to “destroy” the earth’s climate.
I did. The fossil remains from Antarctica show that the continent was once a lush polar forest. Not sure where the 10 degree figure came from, but I don't see how you get a lush forest if the ice caps were still there so it obviously was quite a bit hotter then.
Actually, the “Records” we have literally are only about 150 years. But, the information we have from rock formations and other things indicate that some 13,500 years ago, Chicago was under 3000 feet of ice. So, yes, we’ve seen some warming. And it’s been a good thing.
