I find this interesting - a well-reasoned argument against CO2 as the
cause of global warming.
Well-reasoned arguments on this score have been around since, well,
forever. In particular, that the Earth was, at times, much warmer
than today -- without any "runaway" warming ever happening. But they
get ignored by the media and thus the public get gaslit forevermore.
This is the hallmark of the toxic Leftist media: the topics excluded
from coverage -- the things Leftists pretend not to know, is enforced
upon the public, who consequently genuinely do not know these things.
If the Overton Window on this is getting cracked, then that is
significant. The recent agonised articles about a newly-recognised
upcoming Ice Age are hilarious, and actually more accurate than the
global warming scaremongering of the past 45 years. All anyone need
do is look at the global temperature profiles of the past 2.5 million
years to recognise that the present interglacial warm period must be
nearing its end -- the recent "Little Ice Age" being a harbinger of
the arrival of the true Ice Age to come.
A wider question about the past 2.5 million years has not been asked
in the literature, that being: why have these ice ages come into
being when such wide temperature swings are not seen beforehand? A
precient simultaneity is the arrival of mankind's ability to make
fire. The earliest use of fire would have caused accidental burnoffs
of the entire forested surface of the Earth. Would this not increase
the Earth's reflectivity and thus plunge the Earth into colder
temperatures? Maybe the repeated ice ages map an anthropogenic social
cycle where stone-age societies congeal to a point where the world
physically burns. This reduces mankind to a fraction of before, and
then the whole cycle repeats -- growth, restoration of social
cohesion, technical ability, fire, burn -- rinse, repeat. Until, this
time, we learned to process metals.
Back in those days the world's knowledge and history was orally
transmitted. Alas, all lost. The most recent manifestation was the
Bronze age, of which we have vast artefacts but no writing. Bronze
does not rust so we have wonderful bronze medallions showing their
religions which portrayed owls as the godly creatures and snakes as
the devilish ones, who however conspired in the creation of mankind as
an assembly of parts. Have you ever wandered in the forest and
chanced upon an owl -- and you look into his eyes (true forward-facing stereoscopic eyes like humans -- no other bird has those) and he looks
into yours. A godly experience.
But getting back to bronze, it is the magical metal which does not
rust. In our own history, the highly-organised Bronze Age was
destroyed by iron-wielding attackers (iron swords cut through bronze
shields), causing a 600-year "dark age" in our archeological record --
because all the iron artefacts from that era rusted away, so we have
no relics. Has this cycle happened before? There are mysterious
bronze relics that are unattributable to any known historical period
(don't have a link, sorry), which can ask the question: might they
have come from previous intergalcials, like the Eemian (110,000 years
ago)?
Have you ever had a morning champagne? I just did. Perhaps you can
tell.
