While I appreciate the efforts of the President, Al Gore, and all of Hollywood to save Earth from its “fever,” I do have one question: What SHOULD the Earth’s temperature be?
(Excerpt) Read more at politicallore.com ...
I’m a denier. I like cooler temps. I think 38 should be the lowest temp. And I LOVE rainy days.
The question is not what do you WANT it to be, but what it SHOULD be. The last interglacial warming reached temperatures of 3 to 4 degrees Celsius above what we have now, and sea-levels were about 22 feet above today’s.
So, based on past warm periods, we SHOULD be warmer. (I’m not betting on it though. Also based on past warm periods, we are pretty much due for another major ice age).

Whatever it will be, given the effects of natural forces like the Sun and the location of the Earth in relation to the other planets at any given time. We have no control over it, we can only REACT and ADAPT to it.
Billions and billions of degrees at the earth’s Gore...I mean, core...
So thats the wood they make hockey sticks out of. Larch.
Let’s form a consensus on this before we do anything. ;^)
Hey, some like it hot. We definitely should hold off on any action until this is ironed out.
As I heard said once, “If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, there’s gonna be a big fight over the thermostat!”
From reading seemingly endless studies, histories, projections and various anecdotes, the best I can determine is that it ranges between 13.8 and 15.1 celcius.
Does that help?
Celsius
I could tolerate a few rainy days. Let's not make a year of it though. ;^)
If you’re asking me then what it SHOULD be is what I WANT it to be. lol
That's right. Until everyone agrees, well, at least 95% agree, we should just hold off on any rash actions. Taxes are definitely like a rash.
Thank goodness!
