So, yes, the study of past climate cycles can help us understand what is going on today.Irrelevant as to when or exact temperature. The fact is at one time crocodiles and palm trees existed in Alaska.And, who found that, figured out the year, and determined what the temperature actually was?When you know crocodiles and palm trees used to live in Alaska, you know things were a tad warmer then.How would we know what temp it was 10,000 years ago if scientists weren't studying that?Ok, so you didn't take any science or math in school.
Climatologists study averages over significant time periods.
Your weather forecaster doesn't have the advantage of that averaging.
So then why do the restrict their studies to such a narrow period of time...why do they not extend those "significant" periods of time back to recent periods (within the past 10,000 years) where the temperatures were warmer than the present without the aid of internal combustion engines? Why don't they freely acknowledge that the present is actually cooler than most of the past 10,000 years?
When you make mistakes that huge, wouldn't it make more sense to ask questions rather than to jump to conclusions?
The claim was that scientists didn't study that period.
So who figured that out?
And, let's remember that having the earth warm to the point of palm trees in Alaska would be devestating to human kind. The population of earth can not simply move to a climate where they can live. We believe in borders.
