“Major social delusions cost lives and treasure; see history. The mantra that burning
fossil fuels is the main driver of global warming may be the latest such mind mirage.
As many of its chanters want the price of energy pushed up, those least able to pay for
food and transport will, as ever, be hardest hit. “
I think most ‘chanters’ would be glad to see Africa [to name but one] supplied with
cheap solar energy. Social delusions involving the suburban lifestyle and maximising
international travel and trade cost lives, that’s true.
“It does seem that changes in the earth's magnetic field long precede glaciations”
So, as you are addressing recent climate change, does that make the changes over the
last century scientifically predictable?
“Yes, we must curb our emissions but no, that will not bring back some past climatic
nirvana.”
We can still enjoy the tail-end of climatic nirvana. But is it better to take in the
harvest or enjoy the Indian summer [with the aid of a few patio heaters]?
“If the single assumption, that no carbon dioxide has leaked from or diffused within
the ice cores, is wrong, then AGW has no track record and hence no logical temporal
basis.”
So, any measurement of the extent of Arctic ice would be illogical and “out of time”?
As would other evidence from glaciers &c.
Interesting theory, but just picking up on one or two points.
