Excellent material I had not encountered before. I don’t recall reading your take on CO2, but I read elsewhere that CO2 concentrations rising are a lagging indicator resulting (presumably at least in part) from the rising temperatures, not a leading indicator.
Doesn’t Thais have the same cause as the freezing Thames, if we extend the sequence we have 12,200, 8,200, 4,200 and 200 years ago all of which appear to have been cold spikes. Now what is the cause of a 4,000 year cycle?
Thank you, Matthew. For the non-scientific it is difficult to meander thru the opposing arguments regarding the ‘climate change’ threat, but your viewpoints are refreshing after all the narrative-driven doomsday propaganda.
Great piece. Looking at human history, cold and drought have far more impact than heat. One could even claim that heat is good if you look at the Roman Warming Period. It was the cold of the Little Ice Age that helped end the Roman domination.
Really interesting Matthew. I think our ability to understand the vastness of time whilst clinging to small ideas to explain what we think is going on is a human frailty. We are like mayflies debating the nature of the planet.
Great article! Unfortunately, geology & climate science don’t mix well anymore. In the 80’s at UC Davis I got to study both & even relate them together, but our Atmospheric Science Professors were all convinced of the coming ice-age bc of human cO2 emissions. I wanted to believe them bc skiing, but my geology knowledge wouldn’t let me (we are emerging from a cyclical ice age, duh).
Begin rant & apologies for over-commenting:
Now things have gone way off-reservation: Our govts/military/wef are trying to save us from cO2, the devils gas, by Geoengineering (which causes FAR more climate & environmental harm then the plebeians & bovines down below). Gee thanks for ‘saving’ us - we built you guys a ‘relaxing’ Sauna, it just looks like a gas chamber.
These useless eliters are trying to ‘transform’ our planet & our bodies into the Borg Collective via aerosolized & injected metals/graphene which will connect with IOT/Human 2.0. They have trampled all over poor Francis Bacon & medical ethics & our constitution & a good deal of common sense & the whole Christian morals thing that is a pillar of Western Civilization.
We need Legal/Policy Action, Technocracy Takedowns and a general return to scientific methods, clean air, clean soils, healthy farms/food/families, and a moving away from climate-fear, vaccine-centric health care & neoMarxist agendas. Incentivizing healthy families, healthy farms/food and sunlighting all invention is our only way to survive long-term regardless of earth changes.
My snake oil pitch:
Eliminate all Wage Taxes, and replace with Pollution/Waste Taxes. This will work to clean things up and bring jobs back to USA. CO2 isn’t really a pollutant so its taxation must be debated.
A much better written piece than usual. Most articles I read refer to rapid cooling happing repeatedly on various timeframes. Are there periods of rapid heating? Is the cycle always rapid cooling and then a gradual period of warming before another rapid cooling period?

"attributing all climate change to GHG emissions is a major oversimplification."
True, but it's extremely profitable.

Why are GHG emissions even part of the discussion? They really aren't relevant.
Check out Ethical Skeptic and his exothermic core analysis.

Unsettling indeed. I shared your work on LinkedIn with some of my own thoughts added. Is it correct that I can not find you on LinkedIn for tagging?
