Another Sacred Cow Slain?

Careers to be avoided do to their soon to be obsolete status.

1.  Ice cutting barge makers and captains.

2.  Wildlife preservers of polar bears. (It'll be futile.)

3.  Polar ice cap researchers.

Hey youngons, try this career out for size!!

Global warming....?

Rev 16 : 8 Then the fourth angel emptied out his bowl upon the sun, and it was permitted to burn, scorch humanity with fierce glowing heat fire.

Ecc 11 : 4 He who observes the wind and waits for all conditions to be favorable will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.

Matt 13 : 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word and he becomes unfruitful.

Maybe people are looking at the climate from too narrow a time span.  Maybe the natural climate cycle is greater than what we have been recording for the last 150 yrs or so.  The most detailed information exists since 1850, when methodical thermometer-based records began (Wikipedia).

Here gives a little bit about what may be involved in the cyclic climate pattern.

Climate cycle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A climate cycle refers to natural cyclic variations in the earth's surface temperature, as indicated by temperature proxies found in glacier ice, sea bed sediment, tree ring studies or otherwise.

One difficulty in detecting climate cycles is that the earth's climate has been changing in non-cyclic ways over most scales of time. For instance, we are now in a period of global warming that seems to be anthropogenic. In a larger time frame, the Earth is emerging from the latest ice age, which means that climate has been changing over the last 15000 years or so. And the Pleistocene period, dominated by repeated glaciations, has developed out of a more stable climate in the Miocene and Pliocene. All of these changes complicate the task of looking for cyclical behavior in the climate.

There are nevertheless several climate cycles which have been identified or hypothesized. These range from the cyclic behaviour of the Earth's orbital parameters (called Milankovich cycles) which are reflected in the long-term climatic record spanning several ice ages, to short cycles such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation, the Pacific decadal oscillation, the Arctic oscillation, and the North Atlantic oscillation. The 11-year Sun spot cycle (the Hale cycle) may also be discernible in the climate record (see Solar variation).

Climate cycles are popular with media. One example is a 2003 study on the correlation between wheat prices and sunspot numbers. [1].

There is also a 1500-year climate cycle claimed from ice core samples, and used in the global warming controversy.

Other than the Milankovich cycles (and perhaps the Hale cycle), no climate cycle is found to be perfectly periodic and a Fourier analysis of the data does not give a sharp spectrum.

Interesting....

Joe,

Interesting in deed.  There are a lot of doom and gloomers that have ulterior motives to get you to believe in so called myths.  For example it is commonly excepted that we are killing all our trees, the earth is over populated or we running out of room to put or garbage I could probably go on and I think iy shows how easily us humans will believe much of what we hear.  But if you dig in search things out for ourselves we find things are much different kind of like how many fall into believing in the common myth about hell.

Heres my favorite quote from the Article Joe posted the link for.

Why are some scientists worried? Perhaps because they feel that to stop worrying may mean to stop being paid,” Kukla told Gelf Magazine on April 24, 2007

Why is it, that it always seems to come down to the almighty buck?

Thanks for the link Joe
