amazing, really shows the arrogance of man...to think that we can ‘control’ the planet...the childlike simplicity of it is amazing...of course its co2...how could it be, you know, THE SUN...great article...

[Steve Van Doorn]

This guy even know I agree with most of what he says uses the same argument as the global alarmist. That man has a significant effect on the planet.

When I was growing up in the 70’s, the coming ice age was all the talk. But there wasn't any money in the hype then, other than a few books.

But there is serious money and global economic control in the man made global warming “science”.

Earth’s climate is controlled by the Sun.

"The last ice age started about 114,000 years ago. It began instantaneously."

That doesn't jive with the perfectly preserved elephants rhino's emerging from the ice in the arctic with "fresh meat still on them.

It suggests that the ice ice started suddenly, but far more recently, around the biblical flood age.

Hey Mr. Professor, quit watching The History Channel. You’ll feel better in the morning.

That is unless Yellowstone Park explodes or the big asteroid hits or the plague comes back in super tough form or cosmic rays fry everything crisper than corn chips.

When you’re buried in boiling lava and your cell phone won’t work, are you gonna worry about cold weather? Well, are you, Professor? Huh? Didn’t think so.

Have a good night!

One of the best articles in ages posted on Free Republic.

Unlike the corrupt morons who run this country, I pray that Global Warming exists.

It’s Bush’s Fault!

The interglacials have lasted about 10-12,000 years or so.

The current one has lasted about 10,000 years so far.

Time's about up. We've got anything from 600 to 1800 years, my best guess, then it hits the fan.

The really bad thing about the interglacials isn't the temperature change -- which is dire enough -- but the fact that locking all that moisture up in massive ice sheets seriously dehumidifies the atmosphere, cutting rainfall everywhere. During the Wisconsinian glaciation, most of the Midwest was ice-free, but it was a cold desert, and the Brazilian Mato Grosso didn't exist -- the Amazon basin was an open parkland, not a rain forest. Probably pleasant enough to live in, but how would you support six billion people?

Conversely, the warmest period of the current interglacial, the Climatic Optimum (about 6500 years ago) was considerably warmer than now, and wind patterns were different, with seasonal rainfalls on many of the present-day deserts. The Sahara and Arabia were grasslands.

the Black Death, the greatest disaster ever to hit the human race

I may have hit upon a new nickname for Zero!

[TurtleUp]

This idea enjoyed its greatest heyday during the 1970s, when ocean sediment cores appeared to confirm the theory. But in 1992, Ike Winograd and his colleagues at the US Geological Survey falsified the theory by demonstrating that its predictions were inconsistent with new, high-quality data.

I remember those days. I used to respect science and scientists "back in the day" when scientists believed that contrary data disproved a theory.

the Black Death, the greatest disaster ever to hit the human race
Not even close. It is only the worst in recorded human history. The worst was the aftermath of the explosion of the Toba Caldera, which led to the near extinction of man 75,000 years ago. Between 50% and 90% of people died off.

[Hardastarboard]

I was of course joking about 0bama by calling him the Black Death (of Freedom). I was quoting the author of the article, and was a bit surprised to hear that the Black Death was the greatest disaster to ever hit humanity, but I had never heard of the Toba Caldera. I’ll have to look that up. Thanks for the information.

Thought we'd had this before, but I guess not. :') Thanks BBell.
