Everyone knows that "Stagnation" is impossible.
Well. At least the people who made themselves informed
on the topic of "Climate" science. They all know that
the climate can never remain stagnant, it's never going
to remain the same.
Everyone capable of discussing the climate already knows
this.
So, if the climate is never going to remain the same, it's
in a constant state of change, why would colder be better
than warmer?
Wouldn't warmer be better?
I mean, wouldn't warmer be better than staying exactly as
it is right now?
There'd be changes, yes. But those are coming anyways.
If sea level doesn't rise then it'll be dropping.
Oo! Sea level, btw, was like 16 feet HIGHER about 130
thousand years ago, back when Neanderthals ruled the
world. It was warmer. No cars, no fossil fuels and it was
warmer...
Fact is, NOBODY has ever established that a warmer earth
would be a bad thing. They just assert it. And you just
believe without question... "Longer growing seasons, bad!"
Egypt was a hot place. They sometimes could squeeze even
three crops out in a single year, because the growing
season was so long in the warmth. And it's what made Egypt
so big, so rich and so powerful. Agriculture built the
pyramids! The food surplus meant labor free to leave the
fields. It meant people could be artisans and not farmers.
It meant soldiers to defend the lands and conquer the
neighbors. Exported, it meant wealth flowing in.
Was that bad? Why would it be bad for Canada?
