Maybe global warming is man-made

I still want to know how "they" can tell the temperature of the earth before thermometers were invented. Sure "they" can look at the rings of old trees and see if each year was a good or bad growth year. But to say that the earth is definitely growing warmer, by about 1°c, over the last 100,000 years is bull puckey.

Last year about this time, the daffodils had just started blooming. This year they were blooming 2 weeks ago. Oh my goodness! We're all going to roast this summer! {sarcasm, except about the daffodil dates}

On my own property, I look around and see the dead Ponderosa Pine trees that have existed there for hundreds of years, but have almost ALL died because of the GW induced drought.

Anyone with common sense should be able to figure out that trees that have lived for hundreds of years, but are all now dying at once is not normal. Take your head out of the sand. The changes are real.

Did you miss the fact that whale skeletons exist in the Sahara Desert?

Climate is always changing.

Common sense tells you the "scare" is a hoax. Go back and look at the predictions made in the last century. None of them have come true.

I can simply the issue, "THERE IS NO BOGEYMAN".

One of the main talking points pushed by climate alarmists over the years has been that the Arctic summer sea ice is declining.

This line has been used to strike fear into the public by constantly warning that we’ll all be doomed once it soon disappears.

However, evidence has now emerged to reveal that Arctic summer sea ice stopped declining a decade ago but climate scientists have covered it up.

Climate scientists are in the same camp to many of us as virologists. Their main goals seem to be funding and the ability to make policies or viruses that harm the average person. YMMV.

I'm old enough to remember people warning of nuclear winter! Now it's global warning. I don't buy any of it.

I remember reading this online years ago and found it on the internet.

The Great Frost (as it was known in England) or Le Grand Hiver (as it was known in France) was an extraordinarily cold winter in Europe in late 1708 and early 1709, and was found to be the coldest European winter during the past 500 years. France and the Palatine were particularly hard hit by the winter, with the subsequent famine estimated to have caused 600,000 deaths by the end of 1710. Climate scientists don’t know what caused this event, but it was recorded that

• Chickens’ combs froze solid and fell off.
• Major bodies of water like lakes, rivers and the Baltic sea froze solid or froze over.
• Soil froze to a depth of a meter.
• Livestock died frozen in barns.
• Trees exploded from the extreme cold.
• Sailors aboard English naval vessels out at sea died from the cold.
• Fish froze in rivers, game died in the fields, and small birds died by the millions.
• Herbs and exotic fruit trees died, as did hardy oak and ash trees.
• The wheat crop failed.
• People went to bed and woke to find their nightcaps frozen to the bedstead.
• Bread froze so hard it took an axe to cut it.

Get some education-- Many natural populations undergo cyclic or pseudo-cyclic or chaotic variations in numbers, completely independent of external factors (like climate, for instance). The Pine Bark Beetle is one of them. They periodically have an outbreak- a sudden, extreme increase in numbers. As they increase, they kill their hosts (the pines) and then that causes the end of the epidemic, and the cycle of pine re-growth with a delayed return of the beetle numbers goes around again.

Common sense tells us the Earth is flat.
