As the climate change alarmist position is a major threat to Western civilisation, as we have been arguing at this blog, the science is highly relevant, and reporting on critical material, useful for the fight. Thus, I note that in an article published recently at the Washington Post.com, on the climate change alarmist theme, a long-term temperature graph was published, showing the Earth's surface temperature over 485 million years. What can be seen with our own "lying eyes," is that over the past 50 million, the Earth was cooling. There is only a blip of warming over the last 20,000 years, but temperatures have been much warmer in the past, in fact, quite tropical at times, and carbon dioxide levels have been far higher than at present, with no ecological disaster at all. In fact, without such conditions, humans may not have come to exist at all. Thanks, climate change!
Climate change alarmist is perhaps a storm in a tea cup, but a most dangerous one.

"In an attempt to continue the Climate Change/Global Warming scam, the Washington Post wrote a piece offering "a warning on the consequences of human-caused warming."
Except the graph used, displaying the Earth's surface temperature over the last 485 million years, showed the complete opposite. Whilst it has warmed in recent years, the Earth is still cooler than it has been for most of its history.
You need to zoom in even more than that because the Earth has been cooling for the last 50 million years.
Only when you get to the last 20,000 years do you see any warming.
Not so scary when you see the whole picture - especially when the bottom we have rebounded from was a global ice age. But yet many readers of the Washington Post will still believe this shows that by paying carbon taxes and impoverishing ourselves, we will somehow be able to do something only our massive star, commonly known as the sun, can do - change the climate."
