👍👍👏👏When we look at the environment and climate within the context of Grand Solar Minimum and Grand Solar Maximum, and the carbon cycles, the current "climate emergency" cartels shrieks, all look a lot like the excessive computer simulated predictions for the covid pandemic😉

I only glanced at this, but in any case, the main thing to keep in mind is that (a) life on earth can survive under much hotter conditions, (b) human beings can survive under much hotter conditions, (c) it is far from obvious that the kind of agriculture that allows billions of humans to exist on the planet can be sustained under much hotter conditions. So, it's not a question of boiling to death or what have you. It's a question of: does the harvest fail and cause widespread malnutrition and starvation? And secondarily: do major cities get flooded, causing millions to die or flee?

From what I gather, though, some areas (Russia and Canada come to mind) can probably expect to benefit from global warming. So, if you're Canadian and scoffing at climate change, then you kind of have a point. If you're Dutch, though...

I'm now old enough to compare the tree-line in a specific area of fjells now, and and when I was a child; there's a marked difference, trees now growing further up-slope than they did then.

On the other hand, I also remember several winters when there was no snow left around March 1, and Spring coming in early April, as opposed to last week as it is this year.

Not to mention that in the Fulufjäll-area (and reservation) you have Old Tjikko, a 9 500 year old Norway spruce that's survived by cloning itself anew on top of its own root system,making it the worlds oldest tree. It has apparently alternated between being a normal tree and a krummholz/knieholz-formation.

Meaning that the top plateu of Fulufjäll was ice-free 9 500 BC.

Fulufjäll (or Fulufjell) is a nationalpark on both sidesof the border, east of Trysil. Higly recommended, and the terrain is rather easy to walk about in. One should of course stick to the paths as there are steep inclines with loose rocks/gravel, as well as the crevasse at Njupeskär and the top plateu is frequently mist-shrouded with zero visibility.

The people that did not create the Earth; did not witness its formation want to change its trajectory. LOL. Maybe they know and simply are toying with us with a one-variable assumption.
