I admit millions of years ago global warming occurred as the earth was still forming and dinosaurs were roaming around. Doug was indicating in recent history of the "recent" ice ages was followed by global warming a higher than normal temperature. I view which I reject. Also to me, "facts are not all there" seems to have the same meaning as "absence of objective proof". Are we going to be splitting hairs over this seemingly same definition To my ear "facts are not all there" implies the existence of facts not put into evidence. Correct! in my book of philosophy. I believe in evolution of man even though all the facts are not there. Someday the facts may be there. If a system has contradictions I will dismiss the theory as false. I believe all religions have contradictions therefore a false belief. I know for others, contradictions in a belief system does not matter. The last "ice age" (not counting the movie) was 11,000 years ago. We are in an "inter glacial period at present (The Holocene). The "mini ice age" from 1000 CE to 1450 CE was a small change unless you lived in Iceland, where even the Inuit were having a hard time of it. I am not positive however I am not sure but was the ice age, 11,000 years ago caused by a super volcano or meteor impact, rather than the Sun. I am fairly certain the mini ice ages was caused by volcanos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age#Major_ice_ages I know the sun has a cycle every eleven years for sun spots. Not sure about long term temperatures. The earths magnetic field can flip flop changing the environment, but no sure about its effect on temperature. I imagine when the Sun turns into a red giant in a billion years the Earth will warm up a whole lot. Hey, let's not push. It will be 5 billion years before the Sun goes "red giant" on us. You made me think that I was running out of time;O) Garden center today had some great spring sales today, free hotdogs, donuts and coffee. Soon to enjoyment comes.
