A year or two ago, an online nursery included a chart of calculated
global average temperatures in their catalog. It was from US Deprtment of
something or another (Maybe Geologic Survey), but it paints a very different
picture of the climate than is generally accepted. I am including it as
an attachment (though I do not know if the list-serve will strip the attachment
or not. If it comes through you will notice that we are in fact on a recent
upswing. You will also notice that there appears to be a natural
equilibrium at work which seems to moderate temperatures within a certain range
and that we have quite a way to go before we leave that equilibrium.
You'll also note that the warmer temperatures seem to peak for longer than the
lower temperatures. I am not discounting the effect pollution, especially water pollution,
is having upon the Earth and its species including us, but I think the ball of
plasma at the center of our solar system has more of an effect on temperatures
here on Earth and on surrounding planets than our chemically altering of the
lowest 2% of the atmosphere. WE should strive to achieve balance with the
ecosystem, and reduce the particulates polluting that ecosystem, certainly, but
as was previously pointed out this would have to be a humanity wide solution or
as a planet, our best interest is served by status quo with strong support for
new technologies, particularily energy related ones (Geothermal is one which
doesn't get the attention it deserves in my opinion. A few 2-3 mile deep
holes into which water can be pumped and then the steam harnessed to make
electricity would make wise investments and go a long way to reducing fossil
fuel dependency). As I see it, a few degrees warmer and slightly higher CO2 levels will help
agriculture. If they decide to put in a carbon tax, I will be expecting a
credit for the 35+ trees I’ve planted in the last 5 years. Zone 6b Michigan Reproduction of list messages or archives is not allowed. This includes distribution on other email lists or reproduction on web
