Default Inconvenient Truths Indeed

There have been numerous periods through the history of this planet when the
climate has warmed and cooled (I prefer warmer) The little Ice age (1450 to
1900) lasted 450 years. The medieval warm period lasted maybe 300
years....there have been around 60 glacial advances and retreats during the
last 2 million years. Isn't it obvious that the climate changes..Why is it
so terrible even if the temperature goes up a degree or two in the next
century..It has done so in the past and we are still here...How accurate are
these predictions anyway..They can not even tell us for sure what the
weather will be next week...yet they would have us believe there predictions
off doom and gloom....The seas will rise 20' and hurricanes of greater and
greater intensity...so much BS..If you believe this stuff, I have a bridge
in Brooklyn I can give you a great deal on. Back in the Seventies many of
the same people who now talk of global warming were then predicting a new
ice age. When have they ever been right?

The theory that man made Carbon Dioxide causes global warming just makes no
sense to me ....Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant at all, we breath it out,
plants breath it in and convert it to Oxygen...there would be no life on
this planet without carbon dioxide. CARBON DIOXIDE IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE!!!
Somewhere around 95% of all CO2 is emitted by nature.Something like 3% of
the atmosphere is greenhouse gas...95% of that is water vapor, only 3.6% of
greenhouse gas is CO2..Of this only about 5% comes from human activity..
Others would probably dispute these numbers, but the bottom line is, It just
really seems like there is a whole hell of a lot more that we do not know
about climate change than what we know...

At one time there was a consensus that the world was flat, and that the
earth was the center of the universe.....consensus is not scientific
fact...There are Thousands of scientists that do not buy into the theory of
human caused global warming. Human caused global warming is not a scientific
fact, it is a theory with a lot of holes in it..like if the increase in
human carbon production is causing this global warming, then why did average
temperatures drop about 1/2 degree between 1940 and 1975 (prompting the
predictions of a coming Ice age)
Think about it..if all human life ceased to exist, the climate would still
change from time to time. It always has and probably always will.
