re: #253 Dr. Shalit

OK Kol Ha Lizardim -

1. As to “AGW” - “Climate Change” - Because it is NOT called “Global Warming” anymore - For OBVIOUS REASONS - like stuff getting COLDER where actual Human Beings can experience it. I AM Skeptical.
2. I truly DO believe that The Earth - whether you believe in “Gaia” or “Ha-Shem” could shake off the human race as a Dog could shake off fleas. The only difference is which “Theology” one subscribes to.
3. I truly DO believe that THE SUN, and is cycles have more effect on “Solar System” Climate change than anything else - See: MARS - No People, No “SUV’s” only about 1/2 dozen solar powered vehicles sent by Earth - “Mars Warming” Parallels that of Earth.
4. Notwithstanding all above - live more frugally - where you can - In the words of the late 60’s and Early 70’s - Take What You Need and Leave the Rest. What you leave is tomorrow’s “Patrimony.”
That is all.

1. Climate change models don’t predict a strictly increasing temperature, there is still variation, however the “drift” (alpha if your a market man) is clearly positive.
2. I don’t understand what this means.
3. Solar cycles can of course affect the earth’s climate. Climatologists don’t ignore the sun’s effect. I don’t know why you believe they would.
