And when we're looking to the past for our climate baseline, would you please say which is more "normal", now, 100 years ago, or 12,000 years ago during the last ice age? Why?
You should concern yourself with derivatives in this case. Recently, the rate of change is up, and up sharply. Thats the problem. If we could zero the rate of change, things would be OK. The anti-ice age crowd fails to understand this for some obscure reason. I don't want another ice age either, but we have not been living in one, and the rate of change is up, not down. If the rate of change was down substantially, I'd be all for burning more fossil fuels, but oddly enough thats not where we find ourselves. |
