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.

I think the scientific community is afraid that if this is brought up, it’ll be misinterpreted. People will ignore the most important factor - rate of change, and look only at the broad picture. A lot of data is misinterpreted this way by the layman.

Yeah. This was part of my journey from total normie to here. I was teaching a science class, and didn't want to teach stuff I couldn't answer serious questions about, and I found similar research. Now I guess I'm a Nazi or something...

Not just rising from a low base, but currently in an Ice Age (there is ice at both poles & glaciers on land) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation According to wiki, 80% of the time Earth is in a greenhouse state (ie no glaciers or polar ice caps) and 20% of the time in an icehouse s...

Another factor is the Earth's orbit. We are in a circle orbit now, but it will gradually change to a more elliptical orbit in the future. Then there will be bigger temperature swings.

This explains it. https://youtu.be/A24fWmNA6lM

Also, there isn’t much talk about sun activity. https://m.primal.net/JzWB.jpg

I’m going to jump to conclusions based on my existing biases without reading the article. Hope that helps!

This is a site that explains a lot about the science related to the climate madness: https://clintel.nl Mind you: they are not denying that the climate is changing, but they put things in their proper perspective, as you did with your remark that the earth has gone through multiple cold/warm perio...

I don't think that is omitted from the conversation especially because compared to previous warmer eras with no ice at the poles, the change in temperature occurred over millions of years so life had a chance to slowly adapt. Which is not at all the same as what's happening now.

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'.

i think it's not mentioned cuz the debate isn't about planet earth being in danger, as much as it is about humans being in danger.

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...

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.
