Is it too late for sense on climate change ?

Monday, May 12th, 2008

This letter suggests that the UN reconsider its approach to climate change. After all, the climate has been changing as long as there is any evidence to study about earth temperature. In 1200, Greenland supported farming and a population of 5,000 people. With the onset of The Little Ice Age (Note that Wikipedia is not reliable here for reasons previously explained. They even still have the “hockey stick.”), the Norse population died out and was replaced by Inuits who arrived about 1200 AD and remain the Greenland population. They were better able to tolerate the Arctic conditions that followed.

The Bush Administration seems to have given up on this subject, seemingly planning to run out the clock, and McCain may be too willing to be influenced by the climate-politicians. We’ll see.
