I have been following the climate debate since 1974 when TIME magazine ran an article concerning global cooling…
At 11 years old, this scared the shit out of me. Then came Michael Mann and his hockey stick graph (even discredited by his fellow warmists) that showed climate as being static throughout history until the late 90s, when he wrote his original theory. This time, I didn’t buy into it. I found articles throughout modern history—some from the 30s and 40s—that took turns blaming weather trends on man. Some said we were causing unprecedented warming, others cooling but always casting man as the catalyst. And then? Carbon dioxide. Stop breathing, young man!
I have hundreds of article bookmarks dating back at least to the early 00s discrediting AGW (anthropogenic global warming). The alarmists have already done a good job at discrediting themselves by now ignoring global warming and terming it: Climate Change! Walk outside and sweat? Climate Change! Walk outside and turn blue? Climate Change! Through my studies—and I am not even close to being an expert—I have begun to settle on a theory that we are, indeed, cooling and that the cooling trend is picking up speed. And it’s all because of the sun; you know, that big fireball in the sky.
I have attempted, for at least the last ten years, to write a comprehensive article or two that takes all of my research and winnows it down to a layman’s version. The problem? I’m a layman and fail to understand many of the nuances that if missed might call into question my conclusions.
I started following a website called Electroverse, by Cap Allon (I don’t know if that is his real name or pseudonym). He puts forth the cooling theory and if interested, I urge you to browse through his posts.
He just republished an article by Dr. Lee C. Gerhard. It does a very good job in exposing the Climate Change! hysteria in mostly layman’s terms. And it is not a long read. I’d urge you to read this as well…
HISTORICAL MYOPIA — BY LEE GERHARD
HISTORICAL MYOPIA, A MODERN DISEASE
Missing from the current climate hysteria is any indication that alarmists who forecast cultural crisis from a gradually warming earth have any knowledge or understanding of climate history. They are caught in their own hubris, thinking that only their lifetime experience captures the total reality of earth’s climate dynamics. Implicit in their myopia are assumptions that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the single most important driver of climate change, present climate change is beyond historical norms, that humans can materially alter an Earth dynamic system and that warming will inevitably continue… (more)
