    “Many paleoclimatologists, archeologists, and historians agree that
    there is a correspondence between the level of solar activity and
    climate. They also agree that humans do better in warmer times than in
    colder times. It is time for the “consensus” to face up to the
    historical and archeological facts.”

    Very shocking, climate is variable over the years and it is mostly
    caused by Sol’s variability.  And people can grow more food in warmer times and live easier.

    No wonder you read Speculative Fiction. You lack
    apparently the "lobes" for science and wish to push the blame
    off on Sol Invitus.
    `
    As as person who prizes the work done by the real climate
    scientist i find your argument absurd. And your estimate of the
    time the planet has been warming ridiculous. The Earth has been
    warming since the last Ice Age.
    Crabs, lobsters and other sea food do very well with
    sea water until it is heated to boiling. You do not even have
    to heat the coral near boiling and the coral is dying. Sea mammals
    like Whales are suffering from nutritional insufficiency because
    the food they depend on is dying.

    Humans can handle a bit of warmth though personally
    beyond 70 degrees F makes me very uncomfortable but in areas
    that have been hot but not too hot for humans people are dying
    from the heat. Certain crops will not grow well in higher heat.
    The soil where not flooded and being washed away is drying out.

    So I believe that human activity has contributed to the
    release of gases which prevent the atmosphere from cooling
    properly. Among those are Methane and Carbon Dioxide.

    When the glaciers of California or anywhere else
    start growing again I would if then alive proclaim
    victory over the Climate Crisis present and impending.

    I have quite a bit of experience running forced flow and natural flow
    reactors.  Sol acts exactly like a natural flow reactor with both short >>>> and long cycles of variability.

    You have zero climate science background, so your experience with
    non-nuclear reactors seems somewhat irrelevent.

    Nonsense. Climate "science" is political. The real stuff is climate
    science reduced to physics.

    Let's try a little test, shall we?

    What do you think is used to create climate models?

    No cheating, no looking it up.  I want to know what you thought at the
    time you wrote the above.

    The United Nations Environment Program reports more than 20 of the
    world’s 72 seagrass species are on the decline. As a result, an
    estimated 7 percent of these habitats are lost each year.

    In the western Atlantic, some eelgrass meadows have been reduced
    by more than 90 percent in the last 100 years, according to The
    Nature Conservancy, an environmental nonprofit that works to protect
    lands and waters around the world.

    Now, rising sea surface temperatures caused by global
    warming are pushing the plant to the brink of extinction.

    <https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/12/seagrass-is-fantastic-at-carbon-capture-and-its-at-risk-of-extinction/>

    I saw something on TV about attempts by the flightless
    two-legged shore birds called humans, were making to spread
    eel grass. I missed the part about eel grass being
    close to extinction.
    Without the meadows of eel grass will the eel thrive?
    Will there be no more Japaneses style bar-be-qued Eel?

    But aside from that, that is a common story in these days of
    something that has been doing us good, quietly working in the
    background to make our existence more tenable and we are
    destroying its habitat.

    I may put it under some climate skeptics (yes there are
    those still who blinded by a fossil fuel income) cannot see
    past the end of their noses.

    Of course - that's why they call it an Ice Age - by definition it's
    bound to be the coldest part of the era.

    Crabs, lobsters and other sea food do very well with
    sea water until it is heated to boiling. You do not even have
    to heat the coral near boiling and the coral is dying. Sea mammals
    like Whales are suffering from nutritional insufficiency because
    the food they depend on is dying.

    Different critters favor different temperatures - that's hardly news.

    Humans can handle a bit of warmth though personally
    beyond 70 degrees F makes me very uncomfortable but in areas
    that have been hot but not too hot for humans people are dying
    from the heat. Certain crops will not grow well in higher heat.

    The important thing is how much - natural rising and falling of
    temperatures is part of the climactic cycles. Human beings have
    expanded exponentially and how much our impact makes a difference
    depends on where we're at on the natural cycle.

    10000-20000 years ago the present amount of human impact probably
    would have been a benefit given we then had an ice age. These days not
    so much - and no question the climate has various "tipping points"
    built it. Climate scientists disagree at what levels these kick in but
    few disagree those are there.

    Where are you with respect to people like me who accept that humans
    can influence the global climate (in a warming kind of way) but
    despairs that any effective climate change treaty can do the trick as
    long as China and India are massively using coal power and expanding
    their use of it?

    Frankly if Canadians (all 35 million plus of us) all committed suicide overnight it wouldn't have 1/4 the effect on the global climate than
    if China reduced their coal emissions 20% - and they need to reduce
    them considerably more than that to meet the targets.
