Letter Re: Climate Change Myth and Reality
Jim:
Regarding the recent Odd 'n Sods link to the article about "The Prophet
of Climate Change": This planet on which we live has been "globally
warmed" before,
during that episode of time sometimes referred-to as the "Medieval Warm
Period". This warming (which is acknowledged to have been even warmer
than our present-day) occurred without benefit of (the) Industrial Revolution,
or even of a large human population. It (the Warming) waxed into being beginning
around 750-850 A.D., waned, and then moved into the next bit of planetary-cycle,
often thought of as (the) "Little Ice Age".
This globe on which we all reside has seen these warm/cold cycles wax & wane
for long before humans became the (supposedly; insects are said to be more
widespread) dominant species. As I indicated above, the cycles have come and
gone with
little or no previous influence from humanity. Hysteria (and, making an "time
'honored'" institution of trading "carbon credits" worldwide)
aside, from where do these supposedly "experts" think that we humans
have put our planet into "irreversible" warming, and that "6
billion people will perish by the end of the century"?
The quicksand, as it were, of hysteria is that nobody thusly involved wishes
to be on the back-end of the proverbial horse. "Jumping on the bandwagon" is
a very old and time honored way of "proving" to ones' peers that
they (the jumper['s]) have "gotten with the program". I should know;
in my time I've shouted-down common sense, jumped on bandwagons, and altogether
told intelligent & common-sense to "take a hike". In my case,
however, I've come to my senses and decided to "Investigate, (but) not
pile-on the wagon of hysteria" (noted above, a sad-to-say, but increasingly-popular,
social-phenomena). Truly yours, - Ben L.
