What Triggers Ice Ages

Before you ignore this post, take some time to read the article. Then think, is humanity really responsible for global climate change?

Climate change

Humans were not around to cause any of the ice ages. We were not around for any of the global warming events that followed either. In this planets past there were a few times it was ice free and mostly tropical. There were also times it was mostly ice. Yet still no humans.

We still are in the last great ice age. it started almost 3 million years ago, and lasted until roughly 12,000 years ago. That means 12,000 years ago, the planet started warming again, thus ending the ice age.

Now here's the big question. How is it, that in the last 200 years, humans are responsible for what the planet has been doing for  hundreds of millions of years before our presence on the planet? How are we responsible for what started 12,000 years ago (global warming)?

Because the computer models tells us. Oh wait they are only as good as the people who input the information. Never mind.

Actually, they (computer models) are only as good as the data available for input. And that's the problem. There isn't much of any. For example, what was the global temp in 1400 AD? How about 1500? 1600? Exactly. Thermometers have not been around that long. In 1700 the King of England didn't ask what the weather was going to be like. Who knew? Nobody did. It simply was whatever it was. Think Washington got a weather outlook fighting the revolution? Nope.

Nobody questioned it, when after so many failed attempts to get to the North/South poles, now the planet warmed enough so that we could. And that was well before the industrial boom.
