The rise in temperatures is mainly part of a larger macro cycle. In macro terms the climate over the past 450,000 years follows a saw-tooth shape when seen on a graph, with samples taken from ice cores. Much cooler temperatures seem to be the norm over time, and there is a distinct cyclical pattern to the earth's temperature, with levels at the current higher temperatures followed by rapid decline, with the peaks of warmer climate relatively short. Human activity has in fact increased greenhouse gases and warming but the rise in temperatures is mainly part of this larger macro cycle. (See “The Global Warming Conundrum”)
Liberals are fools about the reality of poverty and about rejecting the way to combat poverty with economic growth. The improvement in life conditions for billions of black, brown, and yellow people around the world has been based mainly on the exploitation of local sources of coal and oil. Liberal ignorance about climate change will destroy the very people they claim to help.
Even so, there are enough good reasons to husband and conserve our dwindling fuel resources, to reduce pollution from burning fossil fuels, as well as reducing the vulnerability of importing oil from unstable regions. Sure, we should develop alternative sources of energy, but we should reject foolish liberals on climate change and its solutions.
