Speaking of ice ages: • This planet has always been moving toward or away from an ice age. Is it not logical that, at any time, we should expect the global temperature to be either rising or falling? Isn’t it presumptuous to think that mankind or other creatures can overcome and reverse such trends? Global warming watchers often use sea water temperature as a key component of their theory on man-made warming. The so-called "Little ice aged" lasted about 150 years, ending at about the end of the Civil War. A casual reading of the temperature chart leads to some questions needing to be answered by today’s experts.
What “human activity” caused the various warming trends indicated? Specifically, during the 1700s, while recovering from the indicated low temperature, could mankind (and womenkind) during that time have stopped the “Global Warming” in its tracks and maintained the icy climate? How? By any of the following actions?
• Population control, humans and animal herds
• Restrict the burning of wood and coal
• Outlaw the development of the steam engine and trains
• Limit the use of refined petroleum to filling lamps
Were those living during those warming trends as upset over the climate change as some of our people are today? Surely, the temperature changes challenged the people’s ability to adapt to the environment. The industrial revolution and carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels do not fit either of the timelines of the cooling down period or the warming up period of the little ice age. Consequently, today’s eminent scientists have turned their attention to correlating the sun’s flaring activity and earth’s volcanic eruptions with the earth’s sea and air temperatures during the little ice age, hoping to establish a connection. We trust they will refrain from discarding data that do not support their theory, as they are wont to do. I presented an oral book report in the 9th grade on the subject of sun spots. Our planet temperature depends on the radiation of heat from the sun. Sun spots are the visual sign of unusual flaring activity. The flares increase the heat and radiation activities traveling through space. Our planet absorbs some of that extra heat.
