For long time readers of my blog, you’ll know that I don’t much buy man made global warming. I believe the human effect on global warming to be very minimal. That the sun is the common cause of global warming.
Over the past several years the sun has been “very quiet”, in that it hasn’t had many sun flares and the such. That, however, appears to be changing.
So, get ready for global warming to be ‘proven’ all over again.
I won’t get into the big debate here, but there is one fact that has yet to be answered for me.
Why was it hotter in the middle ages than it is now?
Were the factories polluting more back then? Were the cars less efficient? Yes, that is sarcasm. The middle ages were followed by a mini-ice age. In fact in the 40’s and 70’s there was the scare of the coming ice age.
It was best put in an article many years ago. Remove all the cars and factories in the world and the temperature may drop a tiny bit… remove the sun, and we have problems.
Finally, just because I feel that global warming is a farce doesn’t mean I don’t understand the need to be ‘cleaner’. Of course we should strive for better gas mileage. Of course we should strive cleaner factories. However, we don’t need to set civilization back 100 years for a very unproven (and I’d even argue, debunked) theory.
