Climate alarmists
ignore the past
4.5 billion years
of climate change
by natural causes.
Warming effects
of carbon dioxide
started in 1975,
they claim, only 45
years ago.
Of course
all the climate change
in the past 45 years could
have had 100% natural
causes -- but that possibility
is denied by climate alarmist
science deniers !
Carbon dioxide is a gas
that humans and animals exhale,
and plants absorb to grow.
We’re told the coming climate
crisis is unprecedented,
and poses an existential
threats to humanity.
Here at the Honest Global
Warming Chart Blog, I see
the past 325 years of
global warming as good news
for humans, and more CO2
in the air as good news
for plants.
Of course I base those
conclusions on real
science, not wild guess,
always wrong, predictions
of a future climate crisis ,
claimed by some scientists
the late 1950's -- a crisis that
never seems to show up !
The “highest ever”
temperatures are
a mere few tenths
above previous records
set many decades ago.
So what ?
Global temperatures have
only been measured by
satellites since 1979.
Non-global haphazard
measurememts before 1979
Surface measurements
miss a large portion
of our planet, so government
bureaucrats fill in the missing
data with their own guesses.
And they call that "science".
Some natural climate changes
that don't fit the coming
climate crisis narrative
are listed below:
The United States had
a record 12-years
( 2005 to 2017)
without any strong
Category 3-5 hurricanes
making landfall,
until Harvey and Irma
hit in 2017.
Fewer strong tornadoes hit
the US during the past 35 years,
than during the 35 year period
before that.
No strong tornadoes
in 2018, for a new
US record.
Modern floods and droughts
are no worse than past
floods and droughts.
Melting glaciers are not new:
Mile-high ice sheets had
blanketed a third of the
Northern Hemisphere,
multiple times, with
warm periods in between;
and sea level rose 400 feet
in the past 20,000 years,
as much of those glaciers
melted, and the meltwater
flowed to the sea.
Government and university
researchers recently found
numerous Viking-era artifacts
on a Norwegian mountain pass,
that had been heavily traveled
for at least 700 years,
but then were buried
beneath the ice and
lost to history for
the past 1,000 years.
Found were tunics,
mittens, horse shoes,
remnants of sleds
used to haul food
and gear over winter
snow, a small shelter,
and even the remains
of a dog with a collar
and leash.
In 1991, German hikers
found the incredible
mummified and heavily
tattooed remains of
“Oetzi the Ice Man”
sticking out of the ice
in the Oetzal Alps near
the Italian-Austrian border,
at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
A partial longbow,
bearskin hat and
other artifacts
were found nearby.
He had died about
5,300 years ago
from an arrow wound,
and had the blood
of four different people
on his clothes and
weapons.
He is further evidence
of human habitation
in alpine areas possible
during past warm periods.
Years of research
by Swiss and
other scientists
have produced
similar findings
– sometimes
human artifacts,
but also plant and
animal remains,
in areas of newly
melted ice.
In fact,
carbon-14 dating
shows ten
“clearly definable
time windows”
over the past
10,000 years.
There were periods
when glaciers were
limited to regions
that were up to
1,000 feet higher
in the Alps,
than today.
Meaning at times,
the Alps were
greener than
they are today.
An entire forest has been
discovered, protruding
from the melting Mendenhall
Glacier near Juneau, Alaska.
Roots, stumps and large
segments of entire upright
spruce or hemlock trees
have already been found
across several acres.
They are the remains of
a forest that thrived there
for as long as 2,350 years,
until it was buried by
glacial ice around
1,000 years ago.
Only a science-denying
climate alarmist would refuse
to recognize these natural
climate changes, unrelated
to carbon dioxide.
