I have always been a big supporter of global warming. In historical periods of “global-warming-past,” great advances of civilization have occurred (because of not having to spend every moment on mere survival).
When I was in high school we were terrorized by threats of a new ice age. It was the firm conviction of “science” that the impending invasion of the glaciers was inexorable fact, nothing we could do about it. I’m glad they were wrong. “Oh wait!!! “Science” cannot be wrong!!!” You say? Anyone who believes this is either young, indoctrinated, or just isn’t paying attention (or a combination of the foregoing). Science is very frequently wrong. Especially politicized “science.”
I also grew up in the era of the impending ice age destroying life on earth..BUT I was in grade school (that was back in the 50's when the pledge of allegiance was required every morning and prayer before noon lunch...I am almost as old as the dinosaurs...
