The stated goal of climate change alarmists is to maintain the planetary environment at its current state. As I have been saying for years, the entire notion of the planetary environment as a static system that could be maintained in its current state is patently ridiculous. Until someone implements a planetary-wide Start-Trek style weather control system, our ability to control the planetary environment is minimal at best. Reducing pollution is a laudable goal, but in and of itself reducing man-made CO2 emissions provides zero guarantees as to the future of the climate.
The article demonstrates that we could reduce man-made CO2 emissions to zero and still face massive global warming OR massive global cooling on a scale unseen in human history, and we have no idea what might cause it and no ability to do anything about it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
