Does fixing climate change involve going back to the stone age first?

Our "President" (the one with the very large brain … ), believes it will turn around and that WE have nothing to do with it.

The Battleship Missouri is a very large ship, but, if we don't use it, NOW, it isn't worth much!

There have been 5 proven ice ages in the last 500,000 years. That's an ice age every 100,000 years. So, if we shut down all industry and pollution on the planet, how do you plan on stopping the next one? And if you did stop it, would the stoppage of the cycle destroy the Earth?

Hello bront:

Ahhh… I KNEW you were out there.. Look.. If I thought that some government program would END my lifestyle, I'd FIGHT it too...

But, I believe we can fix climate change and SOLVE another life altering problem at the same time... Forget global warming for a minute.. FORGET IT.. Think about running out of oil instead.. Clearly, we're gonna run out, and we don't need no stinkin scientist to tell us that.. Truly, IF we run out, and have NO replacement, it's gonna ruin our lifestyle just as much as shutting down industry would..

So, we need to solve the running out of oil problem.. The time to do it is NOW.. Waiting till gas is $1,500/gal is TOO late.. I propose a Manhattan Project level of endeavor.. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by it..

As an optimist, I BELIEVE we can find it. If we can't, I'd rather go down fighting than giving up.. Wouldn't you??

And, here's the bonus.. SOLVING the running out of oil problem will automatically SOLVE the global warming problem - a TWOFER, if you will

Right con. We'll go to pump it out at rates enough to fuel the Death Srar, and the libs will squeel about vlimate change, then circle back to don't have enough oil, cycle back to climate change to block drilling, rinse, wash repeat...

Tell the libs to stop blocking drilling. Pretty simple isn't it?

As an optimist, I BELIEVE we can find it.

We already know where it is.

There have been 5 proven ice ages and 5 extreme warming periods in the last 500,000 years. That's an ice age and/or mass climate change every 50,000 years. So, if we shut down all industry and pollution on the planet, how do you plan on stopping the next one? And if you did stop it, would the stoppage of the cycle destroy the Earth?

Why an ice age occurs every 100,000 years: Climate and feedback effects explained

Ice ages and warm periods have alternated fairly regularly in Earth's history: Earth's climate cools roughly every 100,000 years, with vast areas of North America, Europe and Asia being buried under thick ice sheets. Eventually, the pendulum swings back: it gets warmer and the ice masses melt. While geologists and climate physicists found solid evidence of this 100,000-year cycle in glacial moraines, marine sediments and arctic ice, they are unable to find a plausible explanation for it.

No. But it does require adjusting how we get our energy and what we do to our food sources. If anything it requires us to evolve more.
