Recent article about sudden drastic climate reversals

[Bernard Marx]

Ahh, the good old Left Wing Atlantic. I wondered how long it would take for a purported article on global cooling to turn into a scare-mongering political pitch to battle global warming. Not long, as it turned out. It must be grant-writing time in academia.

My personal belief is similar to the scientists quoted in the article. If you look at the geological record it seems pretty clear that climate shifts quickly and that humanity has prospered due to interglacial warming. I agree we need to study what causes these sudden shifts just out of pure scientific curiosity, but I doubt there's much we can do about them if we find out.
