One of the things I almost never see mentioned in the various climate debates is the observation that Earth is historically on the cooler side and is rising from that very low base.

The planet has historically gone through multiple cycles of not having polar ice caps and then having them again, etc. Over millions of years. There's been a really long-term feedback loop there.

I'm not a climate scientist by any stretch, but I just find that general omission in public discussions around it to be interesting.

Keep in mind that the earliest great ape is about 7 million years old, the earliest homo is about 2.8 million years old, and the earliest Homosapien is 300,000 years old. Our whole existence was basically during the “very low base”.

Well if you don't have facts all you have is allusions.

Nor do they discuss the 11-year solar cycle and how solar flares impact earth’s temperature.

It’s not omitted in stuff I see. On the contrary, it’s the recognition and accumulated understandings of historical shifts that seem to make the scale and pace of recent human induced changes such an issue…

You give investment strategies but your using bullshit pushed our by fossil fuel industries. Even your "qualifications' are bullshit. So, you're a lying scammer like all 'financial advisors'.

Have y’all ever stood on healthy soil before? Then stood on concrete or degraded soil right next to it? The temp difference is huge. I wonder if putting up stupid strip malls everywhere and raping our soil could be the main driver. Maybe it’s not an invisible trace gas that conveniently convin...

Informative; thanks! I am not one of those climate change alarmists (in fact, I think the whole issue is being used as a cover to severely limit non-"elite" families' access to energy), but I do have to admit a ten degree F hotter Earth (to say nothing of 20 or 30) is going to make a lot of places v...

interesting or suspicious?

Same. I have also sent this chart to Antonio Guterres after his delusional takes on clima

A lot of detail is missed when something becomes so politicized. The omission in some cases is no doubt deliberate. There have been significant changes in temperature in the past. Nonetheless, what is arguably different vs. prior “cycles” nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c...

The period of time with humans on earth seems to be concentrated in that cold part, but yes would love to see more discussion of that generally

climate change is geoengineering

Because the problem it's not about being in certain values of CO2 or temperature, but about breaking the equilibrium and the velocity of the change. https://image.nostr.build/3bd07dcb93787180c859304571b8c2b1de9496bfa6c0da9e1ba7c15fdbab00c8.jpg Also, this is not a problem for the planet Earth, but ...

Read this book and cannot recomend enough. E. Kirsten Peters The Whole Story of Climate: What Science Reveals About the Nature of Endless Change So nice to cut through the noise and present the facts of what we know. It focus mostly on the last 2 million years, as those years can be precisely meas...

You can't tax 'The planet going through multiple cycles of not having polar ice caps and then having them again'. Nor does that scare anyone. That's why 'science' doesn't acknowledge that reality.
