In Response To: sorry but the 6 of the past 10yrs (Scott Slaterly)

The "Discovery Channel" on TV a while back did a story on the "Mini Ice Age," which lasted from about the year 1250 to about 1750. The documenters of this story showed how this "mini ice age" contributed to the plagues of Medieval Europe, etc, and how it contributued to the woes of George Washington at Valley Forge, etc. . . . Very interesting documentary, and I'm sure that this program could be purchased from the Discovery Channel on DVD . . .

Anyhow, the story goes on to tell how every 500 years or so, the Earth cycles between a "warming up" period and a "cooling down" period. They mention things like ocean currents, percentages of fresh water from the Arctic to salt water, and other things. . .

So, if this 500-year cycle really does exist, it has been about 250 years since 1750, which means that we would be at about the peak of the "warming" cycle. . . . .

So, if this Discovery Channel episode is to be believed, then YES, there REALLY IS "Global Warming" going on . . .

Is this to be feared? Not really, it is just part of the cycle. . . . .

Ride safe,
Jim
