This Global Warming Crap
I have always been a little bit of a 'weather bug' in my 70 years
but common sense is beginning to govern my weather
observations and my thoughts on global warming......
For the past 60 years or so meteorology and weather science
have made great strides....The use of radar, developed in
WWII and recent satellite technology have provided the
scientists a huge amount of raw data, with which they can now
analyse and dissect.......
With the establishment of the US Weather Service in
1890, people have been recording the readings of thermometers
and wind direction....So in the last 110 years of so we have
accumulated about 60 years of recorded observed data and
60 years of increasingly precise date......
Last week a report was issued by the United States government
that confirmed that the temperature of the Earth was increasing....
Between 1900 and 2000 it increased approximately .5 degrees
Centigrade or 1 degree Fahrenheit.....I can believe this because there
is proper documentation, of some quality, after the 1860's......
But the report said the earth has been warming since 1600.....I now
have a problem between 1600 and 1860.......
The global warming during the 1600's and 1700's was measured by
the 'rings' of trees or the 'cores' of ice.....How can a measurement
in millimeters or centimeters be converted to an actual
thermometer measurement?......Does one millimeter equal to
1/100th of a degree?......To me this is like comparing apples
and oranges......
Also since all this global warming is being caused by Man.....What
was Man doing in 1600 and 1700.....How much greenhouse gasses
were being produced by the sails of commercial sea going vessels?.....
How much CO2 was being produced by the gun fire of the French
and Indian Wars?......What started this sudden spike in global
warming?......Were the people of the earth burning too many
candles for light and too many trees for heat?......
If all these 'know-it-alls' know what is causing it now, then they
have to know what was causing it then......Was the internal
combustion engine developed 200 years before its time and not
recorded in the history books?.....
What was the mean temperature in Vermont in 1680?.....And if
it increased in 1730 why did it increase and what is the name
of the person that recorded and measured the fact?....Pumps
