No doubt. It's those blips that'll kill ya in the short term (less than
1000 years). We can do something about it if we have the political will.

I went through Jr. High and High School during the 70's. It was then the
"scientific concensus" that the Earth was experiencing global cooling,
caused by -- wait for it -- human activity.

Only at *your* school.

I went to a few, in different states. They were all teaching the same thing.

Time Magazine. Read the article. Get educated.

Same stupid unfounded hysteria - only about the coming, man-caused ice age.

A couple of geography teachers do not make a "scientific concensus"

I went through Jr. High and High School during the 70's. It was then the
"scientific concensus" that the Earth was experiencing global cooling,
caused by -- wait for it -- human activity. The one thing that I have
learned over the years is that we don't know half of what we think we do,
and what we do know, even if true in the short-term, may well turn out to be
false in the long run. I've been watching some tinkerers on television
creating "solutions" to "global warming," such as launching millions of
mirrors into space to partially block the sun. These people scare the
bejeesus out of me. More likely than not, if they ever succeed in getting
their half-baked ideas off the ground, is that they'll usher-in another ice
age thousands of years before it would have happened naturally.


While I disagree with your opinions on GW I am with you on the
"tinkerers." They can only make it worse.

I think if you work through it you will find that the cooling you refer
to is still around, known now as "Global Dimming" due to contrails and
particulate matter. It tends to off-set the global warming. The
interaction between the two makes for some interesting thoughts.

The Earth has been warming for the last 12,000 years, give or take. Had
it not been, we wouldn't be here but the skiing would be fantastic.

The only constant in the Earth's climate is change. Always has been,
always will be.
I think the bigger problem is not whether we're warming or cooling, the
problem is the premise that it's human caused and human fixable.
Gordon

The science is pretty clear that humans have contributed greatly

No, it is not clear at all. . .

to what is going on and what will continue to happen.

What's going on is the usual climate cycles primarily caused by how much
energy the Earth receives from the Sun.

It's not clear that we have the political will world-wide to fix it.

The usual climate cycles can never be affected by politics.

Eventually, it'll fix itself, but the human toll will be pretty high,
especially for the coastal regions, food production, etc.

A warmer climate will make it easier to produce more food so your assumption
there is false. As for flooding of the coastal regions, the most dire of
global warming kook forecasts predict a 4" rise in sea level by the end of
the century. That's a one-hundred year period. This will not even be
noticable in the lifespan of the average human being.

Get a clue. All that LSD has damaged your thought process.

That's one serious case of denial you've got there. You might want to look
for an ointment.

Possibly. And thirty years from now, we'll know even more. Perhaps we'll
know that it was one big stupid idea to try to stop the temporary warming
trend. ;-)
