Optimal or Apocalyptic?
Al Gore and the Goregasmics have been been spouting on and on about the apocalypse that 0.6° represents. In fact, they seem to be a one-hit-wonder. That’s their only real tune. Even IF we ignore the myriad problems in their “science,” who decided that 0.6° is apocalypse instead of utopia?
Who decided what earth’s optimal temperature is? Where has that been published? I can’t find any reference to it. In fact, the only thing I can find is that the Medieval Warming Period was also called the Medieval Climate Optimum. Based on that, it would seem that Al Gore has been caught in yet another lie! If the Medieval Climate Optimum was as warm as was 1998, which Gore lied was the hottest year on record, then how did Earth not face Gore’s predicted apocalypse then?
OH YEAH!!! I remember now. The Environmental lobby paid out large research grants to “scientists” willing to change the history of the Medieval Warm Period. After Dr. David Deming was told “We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period,” (ref) the Medieval Warm Period suddenly became a local anomaly which was actually cooler than their own data previously noted. SO…The Medieval Climate Optimum was redefined to be something that it was not, and the propagandists could continue their apocalyptic rants.
But, what if reality is what really happened and not what the propagandists tell us happened? What if the world did NOT flood when Greenland’s ice melted back then? What if people did NOT starve when it heated up and more food was grown? Maybe if reality is taken into consideration, Global Warming would actually be taking us towards a climate Optimum! Gore’s never said what is optimal, only that he doesn’t like where he thinks we’re headed. Shouldn’t he be asked what is optimal before we rush off to spend our entire GDP and then some on pathetic attempts to change earth’s climate? I mean, IF we do as Gore demands, destroy the economy, move back to caves and forget all about fire, how do we know when to stop, and how DO we stop once we hit Gore’s unreported optimum? After all, we don’t want to shoot right past the optimum and end up in another ice age. I guess the propagandists realized they would never need to discuss a stopping point or stopping mechanism just about the same time they realized that nothing man can do can significantly impact global climate. Don’t expect them to admit that though.
Maybe we really are better off listening to those who have actually studied history and science and who have declared the Medieval Warm Period to be the Medieval Climate Optimum. It’s hard to deny the beneficial changes that warming period brought. I guess that’s why Gore and the Goregasmics have simply decided to change the dictionary once again. It’s SO much easier than admitting that reality happened.
