You miss the point entirely. We didn't understand climate shifts then, we don't understand them any better now. They still can't explain the global cooling of the 70's any more then they can explain the warming of the 90's (oh and recent data seems to show its stabilizing in the 2000's here but I don't have a link). Doing something radical like attempting to lower the average temperature of the whole planet could have catastrophic results.
Just imagine if governments had listened to the scientists who predicted world wide famine in the 90's back in the late 70's and tried to RAISE the earths temperature? Where would we be right now with this warming trend?
The earth was warmer in the 1300's and much warmer 5000 years ago. Was that the result of fossil fuels? Did we have a bigger ‘carbon footprint’? Should they have tried to do the ancient equivalent of global cooling?
Not ONE, not a single fucking climate model predicting global warming can be used to show the trends of the past, and yet we are suppose to trust them to predict the future? They don’t fucking work and you think we need to cool the whole planet? Its not logic, its hubris to think that something that doesn’t work for any testable scenario is somehow going to predict the future and that we should act on it on a global scale.
