Global Warming Extremists Mugged By Reality
Couldn’t happen to a finer bunch of folks!
A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out nearly all the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year’s time. For all four sources, it’s the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.
Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn’t itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.
Let’s hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans — and most of the crops and animals we depend on — prefer a temperature closer to 70.
Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.
If the global warming crowd were actually concerned with the environment they would drop their hysterical calls for draconian regulation on you and me and admit that the matter deserves more thought.
Or if my theory is that the people driving the movement are a bunch of leftists who have only been using the issue to advance their Marxist agenda they’ll keep right on ignoring the fact that we seem to be in a cooling cycle.
What’s really scary is that the presumptive conservative (yeah right) nominee of the Republican party has bought in and is advancing the Marxist agenda on global warming. How ’bout our candidate wakes up and uses this information to pull back his draconian carbon tax and trade scam before it gets foisted upon us?
