I remember my first visit to Mesa Verde about 20 years ago.
There was a large display that analyzed the tree rings from north American trees going back many hundred years.
What they could tell from those rings was that historically speaking, the 1900s were significantly wetter than prior centuries. The write-ups predicted that there would be less moisture in NA going forward to return to a more normal North American pattern.
Well looks like they are right…but many folks want to blame that on man. History shows it probably would have happened with or without man.
What infuriates me about the Global Warming articles is that they always seem to equate “Global Warming” to “human-caused temperature change”, and they are not the same thing. The globe can get warmer in spots without it being the fault of man.
I have only one response to global warming “black body radiation”. That’s essentially what the earth is, in equilibrium. Without the atmosphere that keeps the planet warmer the oceans would be a heck of a lot colder. I’m in favor of global warming if it will give us ocean temperatures like Hawaii has.
