Most people have seen the famous ‘hockey stick’ graph used to make us believe in global warming caused by human activity.

This very limited view of temperatures is very misleading as the time frame is way too short to implicate human activity as the cause for rising temperatures.  To see it in the context of Earth’s climate history, we need to look at much longer time scales. Just looking back 1000 years paints a different story, where it appears that our current temperature is still less than it was 800 years ago.  The dashed line is our current temperature.

Looking back even farther to 6000 years again to the Holocene perod we see that today’s temperatures are nothing new, and we weren’t driving SUVs then or heating our homes with carbon based fuels.

We can look even farther back in time and we can see that the only constant is change.

To think man is responsible for this so called climate change is absurd, and it even more absurd to think we can or should stop it by eating bugs and mandating electric cards is really the height of stupidity.  What we should do is adapt to mother Earth, not try to adapt it to ourselves.
