We arose to the occasion as the occasion arose. Otherwise we'd just be another fossil.  Grandpa had a brain that they apparently don't manufacture in New York City representatives anymore. Darn shame. There is evidence, too, that the cooling was to at least some extent man-made. So many people died of disease in the Americas after the arrival of Columbus—fifty-six million, according to the latest research in Quaternary Science Reviews—and so many areas of cleared, cultivated land were abandoned, and thus allowed to reforest, that CO2 levels were measurably reduced and the planet’s temperature lowered.Always wondered how that occurred.  Amazing what you can believe when you have no sense of scale and no understanding of the carbon cycle. Repeated crop growth to consume will sequester as much if not more carbon dioxide as trees. So the quiet sun had nothing to do with it or a drop in CO2 caused by the oceans cooling and more CO2 dissolving and becoming carbonic acid due to Henry's law? Oh and for those without a sense of scale the Little Ice Age was not a sharp event - it followed the Medieval Warm Period and the cooling started around the 1300's and extended to the end of the 1800's there are some that say that we are still warming out of the LIA now. So the cooling preceded the CO2 drop ( as it always does at all time scales ) These CO2 control knob people are the one club golfers of climatology Well, they definitely have a handicap. |

THEY seem to have been thinking along these lines for some time. Was Genghis Khan history's greenest conqueror?Genghis Khan's Mongol invasion in the 13th and 14th centuries was so vast that it may have been the first instance in history of a single culture causing man-made climate change, according to new research out of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology, reports Mongabay.com.
Unlike modern day climate change, however, the Mongol invasion cooled the planet, effectively scrubbing around 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/261-politics/63010180 |

[ Snip ] Seems like they are angling for another Mongol invasion. Maybe not. Maybe a mongoose invasion? Evidence |

Energy industry officials say rising imports strengthen the case for building pipelines from Alberta to Eastern Canada, where most Saudi Arabian imports are currently sold.
Environmental groups say more pipelines won't actually cut dependency on Saudi Arabia as Western Canadian oil can't be easily processed in eastern refineries, and investing in green energy is the best way to reduce dependency on autocratic, oil-rich states.Idiots!

Interesting post from WUWT .... "Swedish Power Shortages Because of Renewable Energy
Sweden’s Lack of Electricity Capacity Is Threatening Growth
A shift toward renewables is overwhelming the nation’s grid, leaving a potential Olympic Games in 2026 relying on reserve generators. Global trade wars and weakening export markets are not the only potential dampers on Sweden’s growth. There’s also a homegrown problem: a lack of power capacity.
The dire situation stems from the closing of the nation’s oldest reactors and a shift to wind at a time when the grid is already struggling to keep up with demand in major cities. The shortage, which impacts the nation’s main urban areas, is threatening everything from the rollout of a 5G network in the capital to investments in giant data halls and new subway lines. It could even derail Stockholm’s bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

"Poland defies Brussels by vowing to stick to coal
Energy security is higher priority than EU emissions goals, says government official
Poland plans to prioritise curbing its reliance on Russian energy — and so continuing its dependence on coal — over signing up to the EU’s net zero emissions target, in a move that is set to put Warsaw on a collision course with Brussels over climate policy.
Piotr Naimski, Poland’s chief strategic energy adviser, told the Financial Times that it was “not possible and not feasible” for Poland to meet the EU goal of cutting net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. Instead, he said, coal would still generate up to half the country’s electricity in two decades’ time."More here: www.ft.com/content/4578b326-e38f-11e9-9743-db5a370481bcPoland and Hungary are the adults in the EU room.
