We’re doomed. But by Climate Change, not Brexit

The local global warmists are getting quite a bashing in the local paper. Some unkind person pointed out that the historical record is full of periods when global temperatures were similar to today’s or quite a bit warmer. But the big snag is that the estimated atmospheric carbon dioxide level at the time was between one-half and two-thirds of the current 400 parts per million.
    Someone else wondered why, if global temperatures are proportional to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, they stopped rising in 1998 when carbon dioxide levels kept on going up. The Warmists have been challenged to explain why, at 400 ppm of carbon dioxide, we’re not experiencing temperatures in the 40s Centigrade right now with the prospect of temperatures in the 50s or even low 60s Centigrade in high summer.
    No one is expecting much sense out of the Warmists, but we can live in hope.
