Global Smarming
Doug Casey, of "Casey Research" writes:
"Have you noticed that "global warming" is gradually being supplanted by "climate change"? The fact is that the earth's climate has been changing constantly for at least 500 million years and has generally gotten much cooler over that time. It has certainly warmed since the end of the last Ice Age, 12,000 years ago, and was much warmer than now at the height of the Roman Empire. It cooled during what became known as the Dark Ages, warmed again during medieval times (when grapes grew in Greenland and northern England), and cooled again during the Little Ice Age (which ended about 200 years ago). During the '70s, as you may recall, some magazines ran cover stories featuring glaciers intruding into New York City. And for the last ten years, it appears the Earth has been cooling, although that's not widely reported. Change is a constant when it comes to the climate, and warmer is generally better.
Is the science "settled" on the subject? The very concept strikes me as ridiculous, in that science is rarely "settled" on anything short of it being proclaimed a law of nature. And, contrary to popular opinion, it seems most scientists with credentials in the field are either agnostic on the question or debunk the proposition of anthropogenic global warming. But the intellectual climate is such that most scientists are afraid to question out loud the reality of warming. Since almost all funding today comes from politically correct sources, namely the government and foundations, the money goes to those who are known to be looking for the "right" answers. Science has been corrupted."
