| Understanding the Earth |
Climate change is a natural occurrence and has been happening every since the Earth was created. This conclusion is what the science supports.
Man can not make or change the climate no matter how much of our tax money Biden wants to waste.
The scientific method is based
upon observation, experimentation, and repetition. This is the way our
medical, technological, agricultural advances and other breakthroughs are
discovered.
This method does not pertain to this notion of man made global warming as I will clarify. Climate change occurs over centuries and can not be observed on a year to year basis. Nor can it be experimented with or repeated.
Moreover, science is not based upon consensus. While it is alleged that most of the scientists in the world support the notion of man-made global warming, their reason for doing so should be questioned. Just follow the money.
The notion that man can impact the climate is both anti-intellectual and bogus. During this Medieval warm period, (roughly 950-1250 A.D,) all of northern Europe, the British Isles, Scandinavia, Greenland, and Iceland were considerably warmer than at present. The Mediterranean, North Africa, including the Sahara, received more rainfall than they do today. The Sahara Desert, as we know it today, was a grassland filled with lakes, trees, and a variety of different types of vegetation.
Although the climate fluctuated, periods of cold damp weather lasted until the early part of the 19th century. During the chilliest decades, 5 to 15% less rain fell in Europe than does normally today. But, due to less evaporation because of the low temperatures, swampy conditions were more prevalent.
Varying intensity of solar heat radiation affected the surface temperature of the oceans and the currents. Warmer ocean water expels gases, some of which is CO2. Solar radiation interferes with the cosmic ray flux, thus influencing the amount of ionized nuclei which controls cloud cover.
Although true science indicates that we may be going into another mini ice age, let’s hope that we do go into a warming period before that happens because during the warm periods humans have prospered; we multiplied more rapidly; we lived longer; and, we were healthier.

The Ice Age and the Following Warm Up
The earth began to warm when the
Ice Age ended about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. Glaciers had covered much of
North America (including where the Great Lakes are located) before retreating
to where they currently are.
As the earth warmed, hunters in
Europe roamed through modern Norway and agriculture developed in the Middle
East, the Far East, and in the Americas. By about 5,000 years ago and lasting for
about four millenniums, the globe was about 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than
what it is today. This is about the average of the various predictions for
global warming from a doubling of CO2.
The Benefits of the Warm Period
Moreover, during this period of
the high Middle Ages, most of North America also had better weather. Even the
Vikings farmed on Greenland and Iceland. However, this period was then followed
by a Little Ice Age (roughly 1300-1850 A.D.)which produced temperatures in
central England about 4.5° colder than today.
Since the end of the 17th century,
the average global temperature has been rising at a low but steady rate as a
natural recovery from the Little Ice Age. Although from 1940 to 1970
temperatures actually dropped, leading to a global cooling scare.
Computer Models can be Made to
Verify Anything
Computer models can be made to
verify anything by changing some of the five million input parameters or any of
a multitude of negative and positive feedbacks in the program used. Remember garbage in, garbage out. They do not
prove anything. Also computer models predicting global warming are incapable of
properly including the effects of the sun, cosmic rays, and the clouds.
The Sun is the Major Cause of
Temperature Variations
The sun is the major cause of
temperature variations on the earth because our earth receives radiation changes all the
time. This happens largely in cyclical fashion. The number and lengths of time of
sunspots can be correlated very closely with average temperatures on earth,
e.g. the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period.
Glaciers Growing and Receding
Naturally
Glaciers have been receding and
growing cyclically for hundreds of years. Recent glacial melting is a
consequence of coming out of the very cool period of the Little Ice Age. Ice
shelves had been breaking off for centuries. Scientists know of at least 33
periods of glaciers growing and then retreating. It’s normal. Besides,
glacier’s health is dependent as much upon precipitation as on temperature.
The truth is that the earth has
been cooling and warming every since it was created. Man has nothing to do with
it. All this happened long before the Industrial Revolution (roughly between 1760 -1840 A.D.)
