I never said or otherwise indicated mankind was the sole cause of the
warming issue. I have seen several reports, one with all kinds of
calculations showing how paving large surfaces for cities and highways
has produced a tremendous amount of intercrust heating because the earth
cannot vent heat as with exposed soil or through plants. Also, the
deforestation has greatly reduced the conversion of monoxides to oxygen.
Apparently monoxide holds heat (solar and otherwise) much better than
oxygen.
I agree, the earth is a large place with much land area that has not
been clearly and proveably affected by mankinds doings, however,
historically, IMHO, there is more than ample evidence to show a rapid
increase in climatic problems MOST NOTABLE since the advent of
industrialized man.
I find it hard to deny the weather patterns which have grown ever more
bizarre over the last few decades. I remember when we ALWAYS had snow
in Texas, without fail and oftimes, several inches. This winter, we had
frost only, no snow at all, and it has lessened every prior year. Hotter
summers, warmer winters, inescapable.
If there had been no industialization, I don't think we would have seen
such radical shifts (relatively speaking over hundreds and even
thousands of years) over such a short period.
Deny it if you will, but the patterns are clear that mankind is a
significant acclerator, whether the ice age time was up or not, we are
in it and should take all steps to hold it back or stop it if we are
truly the catalyst.
To my way of thinking, this provides additional reasons why we should do
what we can to get away from having to burn petroleum products,
worldwide.
When we succeed in either converting all combustion engines to running
on water (hydroxy gas), or through zpe/aether taps and after a 100 year
or so period, then we can discuss whether it worked or not.
I'd rather add that to the reasons for WHY we need to make it happen (it
being localized self-sustaining overunity generators), rather than blame
it on natural forces that just 'happen' to be escalating at this time.
Coincidence? I don't think there is a remote possibility of that,
because these changes are happening so fast, in geological terms. The
current thinking with regard to earth changes is that they occur over
long periods of time, thousands of years or more, not in singular
cataclysmic events, unless precipitated by outside forces, such as a
comet, meteor, solar flares, or actions such as mankind has unwittingly
inflicted on the planet to accelerate change.
The trick is knowing what affects all the interconnected biosystems of
the planet. That is why the weather control experiments are so
dangerous if not carried out with very strict controls and MAJOR
feedback, monitoring not just the local region, but the entire globe for
unanticipated effects on other weather patterns and on the animal and
plant life.
For my money, such changes are our fault and we (and the whole world)
should take pains to greatly minimize or stop our ecologically
inflammatory practices.
