Ed,
Why do you keep posting information that's not relevant to current
climate change on our planet?

From
Wikipedia article on the Las Global Period (LGP):
The
LGP is part of a larger sequence of glacial and??periods known as the??which started
around 2,588,000 years ago and is ongoing.?The definition of the??as beginning 2.58
million years ago (Mya) is based on the formation of the?. The??began to form
earlier, at about 34 Mya, in the mid-?().
The term??is used to
include this early phase.?The previous ice age,
the?, which ended about
128,000 years ago, was more severe than the Last Glacial Period
in some areas such as Britain, but less severe in others.
During
this last glacial period, alternating episodes of glacier
advance, and retreat occurred. Within the last glacial period,
the??was between
26,000 and 20,000 years BP. While the general pattern of global
cooling and glacier advance was similar, local differences in
the development of glacier advance and retreat make comparing
the details from continent to continent difficult (see picture
of ice core data below for differences). Around 12,800 years
ago, the?, the most recent
glacial epoch, began, a coda to the preceding 100,000-year
glacial period. Its end about 11,550 years ago marked the
beginning of the?, the current??.
From
the point of view of human?, the LGP falls in the?and early??periods. When the??event started,??was confined

(Incidentally,
the ice cap on Mars waxes and wanes even faster than ours.)

Jim,
No, there's no ad hominem in what I wrote. I did not attack
you nor insult you. The vast majority of climatologists are
pretty sure about climate change. So I don't see any need to
be in denial about it. Is it that you just don't want to
change any of your behavior to save yourself and others?

Your last sentence is veiled ad

We cannot possibly know with any certainty whether what's
happening now is caused by man.? What we do know is that the
temperature record has been "adjusted" to produce the
desired answer.? Using only the climate alarmist folks OWN
prior work the amount of "adjustment to get the desired
answer" can be seen.? They have raised prior cold
temperature data to create the narrative they push.? They
have lowered the medieval warm period data for the same
reason.? In many cases they simply cut off the data at
whatever past point works best to show a rising trend.

Ed,
Blah blah blah blah. That's
all been looked at and it has
nothing to do with fossil fuel
burning, which is what has
been happening for the last
100 or so years. The average
global temperature has already
risen and we have the
capability to prevent the
impending disasters that
continued temperature rise
would cause. Interesting to
see that you care so little
about your fellow humans.
