As readers will have noticed, over the last year, this blog has shifted away from an almost exclusive focus on the epidemic to both its original emphasis on health care issues and to other important public policy concerns. One of those is certainly alleged human-caused global warming. This ideologically driven non-scientific drivel is frightening because it is being used to ruin the electricity-creating infrastructure of the United States, resulting in less-reliable and more-expensive energy. Every consumer and every business has been and will be impacted by this pernicious trend.
It isn’t hard to find more truthful information. And when you do it is apparent that we are not seeing unprecedented warmth. It is also apparent that there is no widely agreed upon mechanism by which CO2 would cause warming; in fact it isn’t even clear that CO2 increases historically have come before or after warming or that an increased level of CO2 causes warming or cooling, with clouds in particular have an uncertain impact.
Here is an excellent post laying out the longer term termperature trends. As most people are aware, we are living in a long-term period of cycles with long periods of glaciation and shorter periods of warmth in between. These cycles appear to be largely driven by solar factors as the earth’s orbit and orientation to the sun shift. Even within the warmer times between ice ages, there is substantial temperature variation. So there is little reason to fear the current minimal warming trend. We should be a lot more concerned about what will happen when the cold inevitably returns. (WUWT Post)

Excellent. Thanks. I fell out of the WUWT habit. I can recommend Matthew Wielicki on X and his substack because he also presents data and information in a clear way that I can understand — and I’m a tough case. My suspicions about climate were strong but went into overdrive when the East Anglia emails were dumped. If the science is good you don’t need to suppress and try to prevent publication of papers that might suggest otherwise. That’s Michael Mann. And you also don’t hide your data. You make it available for review. That’s Mann again. And it appears it’s Claudine Gay also.
I’d like to watch a good discussion (debate?) between reasonable people (you qualify) on both sides of this topic. Reading isn’t really my strong suit, or more likely I’m just lazy.
