Cold, Cold, and More Cold

.

Look at this chart.  The long term trend is toward a colder climate.  Note the correspondence between warmth and great civilizations -- and between cold times and decline, fall, and dark ages.  The only way we have kept civilization going during the chill of the last 800 years is by technological advancement.

The following chart, from Vostok Antarctic ice cores, shows the last 400,000 years as mostly ice ages, punctuated by brief interglacial warm periods.  The start of the latest warm period about 11,000 years ago coincided with the birth of agriculture.

We should be lobbying Congress to produce more CO2, not less -- except for the fact that really and truly CO2 doesn't affect the climate much at all.  Modern global warming "science" doesn't have anything to do with climate.  It is all about political power and socialist utopianism.

I am not too concerned about the coming descent into the cold and dark.  As my friend Jim Mizera used to say, "I wouldn't mind an Ice Age.  Hunting was very good back then."  Except of course the present level of human population is completely unsupportable as hunter-gatherers.  Hunting of the "long pork" may become quite common.
