A New and Perhaps Relevant Presentation of Data
Jeff Masters of Weather Underground has put forth an essay with some information from geological data. While the climatologists have put forth their doctrine that "man-made climate change is here," lo, I believe one only gets a Ph. D. in the field if the candidate subscribes to that doctrine, the geologists have been more skeptical. Finally, an acknowledgment from another group of Ph. D. scientists. But before Big Oil, the automobile drivers, and the powerhouse operators get too complacent, likewise those who have to heat their houses breathe a sigh of relief, Jeff Masters presents data which shows the large amount of warming that took place a LONG time ago, to wit, between the Paleocene Epoch and the Eocene Epoch. The carbon dioxide levels were a LOT higher than they are now, according to the evidence the essay puts forth. What I found especially gratifying is that he put forth some numbers as to the actual mass of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the use coal, mainly for powerhouses. The essay is rather technical but I suggest those interested to read it at Weather Underground. The address is: view link
It should be up for a few days as is customary for Jeff Masters's essays.
Regardless, of whatever goes on in this continuing debate, I still feel that direct use of the sun's energy (and I'm not really talking about photovoltaic technology here) is a largely undeveloped technology that would solve the problems that burning fossil fuels poses.
