For aiding in ecowacko/gangreen/algorism/erffirsters cranial overload.....
1. Define the correct temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the correct humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the correct mean sea level for the planet
4. Define the correct amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the correct makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the correct amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Pop goes the cranium.
Another question to ask: Define the “correct” amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.
The ask them to explain why the earth was warmer than it is now during the following:
Medieval Warm Period
Roman Warm Period
Holocene Optimum
My guess - since we're living within a self correcting system - is the correct answer would vary with time...
Apropo nothing, what's the 'correct' weight for a human?? (for the sake of argument we'll pretend age and height don't matter ...) Oh - and great list rkman.
