Into the 'Trough' of Climate
Current rating: 0

There is not generally an answer forthcoming to validate such opinions regarding a quantification of this 'cooling' and also such opinion of reason seems to overlook the entire situation, as I have outlined for the past 400 years, with a relationship evidenced to human sprawl.

To proceed, with regard to other common knowledge:-

From 'A chronology of climate change'
.
1430 to 1880: This is a period of the fast but uneven cooling of Northern Hemisphere climates. Norwegian glaciers advance to their most distant extension in post-glacial times. The northern forests disappear, to be replaced with tundra. Severe winters characterize a lot of Europe and North America. The channels and rivers get colder, the snows get heavy, and the summers cool and short. The temperatures on the surface of the world are about 0.5-1.5 degrees cooler than present. In the United States, 1816 is known as the "year with no summer". Snow falls in New England in June. The widespread failure of crops and deaths due to hypothermia are common. The causes of this period of cooling are unknown.
1880 to 1940: A period of warming. The mountain glaciers recede and the ice in the Arctic Ocean begins to melt again. The causes of this period of warming are unknown.
1940 to 1977: Cooling period. The temperatures are cooler than currently. Mountain glaciers recede, and some begin to advance. The causes of this period of cooling are unknown.
1977 to present: Warming period. The summer of 2003 is said to be the warmest one since the Middle Ages. The causes of this period of warming are unknown.

It is very simply really, with relation to global climate alterations, there is no trend viable from only '15 years' of 'time', there is no trend viable from the past 150 years or 400 years, and no matter how many data points you place into that period, you will still not get a trend. This is known of statistical process, often ignored within the opinion and inference proffered in regard to 'greenhouse climate change'.

If you look at the plot of SURFACE temperature "Figure 1” you will notice the trended ‘shape’ linked to plots relating to HUMAN POPULATION for this period.

Figure 3vs.JPG
"Figure 2, Human population growth/redistribution (U.N.)"


I again provide the most relevant plots. The rise in average surface temperature (as above) is in tandem with rematerialing produced by the rise in population seen in "Figure 2, Human population growth/redistribution (U.N.)" and total growth in Figure 3.

A_plot_of_growth-vs.JPG


Greater definition of population rise and redistribution is seen, with consideration of geographic redistribution of Human population seen in figure 4, as detailing geographical population density, which can relate where future sprawl will proceed.

Figure 6vs.JPG
Density of the human population 1994 (Source: CIESIN). (yellow = low density - dark red = high density)


The trend of Human Population redistribution will continue to see sprawl over presently existing 'green' regions, like the Amazonian basin. Sprawl will continue into those presently less densely occupied regions, taking the ‘best places first. Then population growth will ‘fill in’ the gaps to produce a ‘unified human sprawl surface material’.

 This ‘sprawl’ trend, along with its linked interactions with turbulence and weather patterning, is produced from Surface kinetic energy induction rate and distribution alterations. These alterations, these redistributions, produced by ‘sprawl’ surface rematerialing will be producing further changes to weather and regional 'climates'.

It is important to notice this as it is the REDISTRIBUTION and ALTERATION of kinetic energy induction by the planetary surface that is producing alterations to weather patterning seen in events associated with, rainfall, floods, snow, etc. All these events are driven by turbulence produced by Conduction and Convection of kinetic energy.

There is again, to restate what needs to be realised rapidly, no possibility in SCIENCE for a 'greenhouse effect' to even be produced by the materials involved. Such 'greenhouse concepts' would involve behaviors the actual materials do not posses, these properties outlined as 'greenhouse behavior' within the ‘greenhouse concepts.

It is that few if any of the labeled ‘climate experts’, the supposed 'relevant scientists' often presenting ‘doom and woe’, can actually place our ‘present’ into the actual known climate oscillation. How then can they be at all referenced as producing ‘future scenarios’ of ‘human induced ‘climate woes’? Effectively they are 'lost' and if we had heeded these ‘climate experts’ just 30 years ago, today the poles would be blackened to counter the ‘Global Cooling scare’ of the 1970’s.

 Observations are not so much of ‘climate change’ but of ‘redistribution of turbulence’ induced by alterations to the planetary surface. Humanity IS making these alterations and is doing so unheeding of the effect our constructions are having on the distribution and rate of kinetic energy inductions CONDUCTED to the atmosphere/ocean and transported as CONVECTION.

Two billion dollars will not stop climate alteration, no matter HOW it is spent. Neither will five billion dollars.

Climate alteration is a process of thousands of years, not tens or even hundreds. Notice the irregular periodicity of those Periods that contain multiple glacial events (above), where ice ebbs and flows across the surface (figure 5).

These total periods are within the 'troughs' of a very LONG and IRREGULAR oscillation.

Within these 'troughs' occurs an EVIDENCED secondary set of oscillations, producing the fall and rise, the ebb and flow' of ICE across the surface. ALL of this activity is WITHIN the OVERALL 'trough' of the LONG term irregular oscillation.

Within these 'short and ice prone' Periods, Million of years are encompassed; the present PERIOD is only TWO MILLION years into its progression.

Are we to listen to the book selling ‘climate prophets’ for more MILLIONS of years yet?

Are we to fund ‘climate prophets’ in their continuance with BILLIONS of dollars for the MILLIONS of years left in this cycle?

I do not hope so!
