“But more recently, I became troubled by what seemed to be a preference to view the climate as a global stable state, unless perturbed by anthropogenic effects”
a human free climate does not exist
can we say with any ‘certainty’ that a human free universe exist?
humans ‘perturbing’ anything is a construct of humans
every darn thing we observe has an ‘anthropogenic’ component
the Pontiff picking up ‘climate change’ as a cause makes perfect sense
because one needs a Supreme Being to make ‘man free nature’ have logical legs
there is, without question, a highly emotional political constituency behind much of the alleged science in this field
as a result, the continuous revamping of data looks suspicious
as we cannot separate the world we observe from ourselves
I doubt we will have much luck removing this issue from politics, religion and philosophy … not saying it’s altogether a wasted effort
1. glaciers retreat?
2. glaciers advance?
3. glaciers stable … now that would be unnatural
I wish us all good luck with the search for a global stable state … and income equality
