If you want "temperate" then you need more carbon...the whole reason plants and reptiles were so big is because there was an over abundance of carbon in the environment...but besides that, #1 oil and natural gas are Not fossil fuels...that was a fallacy, #2, carbon only accounts for .03% of our atmosphere. #3 it is not the energy companies that are fueling the climate debate...that is between honest people, honest scientists, those that study cycles and the Kakistocracy- governance by the worst and least qualified in society, not to mention highly compartmentalized and/or crony scientist that are in competition for Your money in the form of grants redistributed by government.

Very good points in the article. Comparing CO2 to other elements and compounds in our atmosphere make the entire controversy (and current crusade) completely ridiculous. That's exactly what this new book does that I'm happy to mention (the author is among us here) http://www.amazon.com/dp/1530535352

Think you have a nail?
The High Holy Church Of Climate Change is forming an Inquisition of 16 Democrat attorney generals to punish all naysayer heretics.

for several years the facts surrounding global warming have been shown to be totally false, and this adds to it. however, it is all falling on deaf ears with respect to the likes of "0" and he has a bigger audience plus the ears of the looters around the world who want our money to ward off the global warming they think is happening in their respective countries. so the question is how do we manage a 4x4 against their heads to get their attention?

In the age of the dinosaurs the whole earth was a temperate climate, Nature is trying to revert to that enrolment, Something the oil and energy companies don't want ( no need for heating!)

My late husband, Ralph L. Fenner a scientist and inventor, referred to as the "Father of Humidity" at the "Sensors" conventions, would agree!

Or even more so...

Actually that cycle was about 70 years globally...1650-1720.
The Dalton minimum was only 30 years in duration and many put that in a 100 year cycle.
This cycle has other things going on that will complicate the situation. ex. magnetic pole wandering...some wonder about a reversal...but we haven't had one in 780K years, I do not fall into this camp; the cycle changed for some reason, we don't know why and therefore we can't predict if it will happen again. The poles seem to constantly wander, sometimes more severely than other times.
We expect that the weakening of our shields and a shrinking atmosphere is a response to fewer flaring sunspots.
If you go to Adapt 2030 on youtube you can view the climatic changes in real time in places we do not hear about in the lamestream. He views them first hand, he's in the coffee bean business and needs to know this stuff.
We are also finding that the desert areas on earth are beginning to green up and the traditional growing areas are becoming less hospitable for growing anything. Soon wheat and corn crops will be vulnerable.

In today's space weather news shows us a strong coronal hole coming to face earth...expecting some 7+ point earthquakes and finally a sunspot that may not quiet down as it faces us...geomagnetic disruptions likely...

Yep...and that's how we found out about the Maunder minimum, a 400 year grand solar minimum cycle which produces colder weather overall. This is what we're headed for now!

Correct...but also, there are greater "Grand" cycles...upwards of 26K years and even a few beyond that...knowledge of such hasn't really stayed in touch with the cycles of civilization or as a Neothinker would say...anti-civilization.
