The ‘boiling’ planet of our imminent future was to be directly and undeniably tied to the activity of mankind, generally, and to the burning of fossil fuels, specifically. We were warned only of one, singular, connective truth: the more CO2 mankind deposited in the atmosphere, the warmer it was going to get. Period. Or so the theory told us... At no time did the warming alarmists predict that the earth’s temperatures would level off. And because the theory did not predict any such stasis, it likewise did not anticipate the need for an explanation of a flattening temperature line. After all, one does not forcefully predict ‘A’ while simultaneously providing reasons for why ‘A’ will not...(Read Full Post)
