Their answer: “I don’t know.” Then silence. Works like a charm, every time.

(Actually, I do know something about one of the changes — when it grew cold after the Medieval Warm Period, 10% of Europe’s population died.)

This is the argument cosmologists make, and they’re basically philosophers with science and math degrees.

We may not be in the only universe. Others may have physical laws that don’t work for human life, but only allow for other forms of “life”, which would see us as impossible.

To imagine we know enough about all the factors and how they interrelate to create long term climate is already monumental hubris. To believe for a femto-second that humans will ever understand exactly what the whole of the universe is and how it works and where it came from or especially why it’s here at all is hubris to the googol-power.

I’ve been fascinated by astronomy my whole and could write a book of my own about how totally strange and mystifying the universe without even getting into quantuum mechanics, which in many ways makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

One of my favorite sci-fi short stories is by Isaac Asimov. It’s also his own favorite in a lifetime of prolific production and it perfectly captures this whole concept.

The Last Question

It’s a short and enjoyable read with a surprise ending.

Not taking issue, just pointing out there is at least one other explanation I’ve come across:

“The reason why todays coal beds exist – is because when carbon dioxide was more concentrated ( higher partial pressures ) plant growth was super-charged.

Dead plant mater couldn’t even decay. It just piled on, layer after layer.

The planet was running as a hydroponic garden.

There is no other mechanism that explains coal.”

The Moon is marching AWAY from the Earth… inch by inch.

Like Everest rising above India.

( Everest has picked up 27 feet since the 19th Century measurement. )

“The Moon continues to spin away from the Earth, at the rate of 3.78cm (1.48in) per year, at about the same speed at which our fingernails grow.”

The mechanism is a tide in the quasi-solid Earth, itself — not the oceans.

I opined this in 1973 to my professor.

He blew his stack — twice.

I later found out that he’d received his PhD at Caltech by crafting a computer simulation of the Moon-Earth system — and its tides.

My thesis contradicted his PhD thesis.

At all other times, he was as quiet as a field mouse.

Today, my theory — never ascribed to me — is now official dogma… universally accepted — proved by laser reflection off the Moon and satellite pertubation during their orbits.

The surprise was the result of Apollo measurement of the distance compared with 4000-5000 year old record (Babylonian) the difference in Meters?
S0 4000-5000 years they measured and got the results after that period of human development and scientific achievements we did not differ from their records!!

Presently, the best climate models fall many orders of magnitude short of the power and intricacy needed to effectively predict the long-term climate patterns that emerge from the interactions of all these planetary

All this fuzz about the climate problems are related to the ability of human being to understand and stomach the universe creation and how complicated, even today science have no answers to it due to limitation with human brain and their creation..

All those who thinks they are smart, telling us what they believe, trying to convince others scientifically they are wright with what they see they all forgot very simple fact its GOD who is the master of all of this and the time will come to the end of our world.

It, the thesis, as they work it, is unfalsifiable.

NASA established fifty-years ago that carbon dioxide is THE universal rate limiting compound for photosynthesis — as long as water, sunshine, and minerals were sufficient.

Across the entire tropics, these factors ARE always sufficient.

So, the carbon capture rate — growth rate — in the Amazonian jungle HAS TO HAVE stepped up.

It’s easy to prove in a lab.

It’s impossible to prove in the Amazonian basin.

This result also carries over to agriculture — ESPECIALLY China and India. NASA’s research implies that fully 10 to 20% of the crop yield now seen there is due to the increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

So…

What the alarmists are proposing would take the rice out of the mouths of hundreds of millions of souls.

That’s a scientific fact that’s already been established.

The opposite extreme is seen with bio-diesel// bio-fuels.

They universally adopt the pioneering research by NASA — to grow algae — in vitro.

EVERYONE uses bottled carbon dioxide in their experimental reactors — to boost their yields.

How much ?

Try 400 to 600 percent.

Plants today are what they are via evolution. Their primary struggle has been to live and grow — while being STARVED of carbon dioxide.

The reason why todays coal beds exist — is because when carbon dioxide was more concentrated ( higher partial pressures ) plant growth was super-charged.

Dead plant mater couldn’t even decay. It just piled on, layer after layer.

The planet was running as a hydroponic garden.

There is no other mechanism that explains coal.

The alarmists haven’t even made it up to wrong.
