Global Warming In A Nutshell

·       Alternate warm and cool periods have occurred every 1,500 years or so for a million years.

·       Previous Roman and Medieval warm periods were warmer than the present warm period.  There were no catastrophic effects.

·       The Earth’s average temperature is not correlated with carbon dioxide, but is correlated with the activity of the Sun.

·       Carbon dioxide is beneficial to plant life and therefore beneficial to animals and human beings.

·       It would be counterproductive to subsidize uneconomical forms of energy, in a fruitless attempt to minimize global warming by limiting carbon dioxide.
