Those are not "nuggets". The world was warmer and CO2 levels were indeed higher. What that tells me, is that 2K years is but a blip in time.

We're now discovering that ice core samples from the Antarctic are not the be-all, end-all of historic temperature measurements. Climate modeling computers don't have the ability to accurately foretell anything.

What worries me most is that the radical climate activists such as King Charles, III and John Kerry have acolytes who are damaging things such as fine art in museums, because they've taken their words literally. This is an example of folks who fail to see the effect of their words, and have no end-to-end thinking processes.

I'm not advocating doing nothing. However, unless, and until the worst polluters in the world (read China and India) get on board with improving their carbon footprints, it's nothing but a formula to radically change our lives for the worst. And Third World countries are going to have to stop spending their GDP's on military, and start spending it on those things which make their own citizens' lives better.

It's not as hot in Texas this year as it was in 1979 when the temp reached 113 and it was over 100 for 33 straight days. Yes, it's hot this year, but two years ago the all time record low temp was -2 in Dallas. That's right, the record low temp in Dallas history. Now, should we conclude from those examples that we have up and down climate changes on a yearly basis?

Some people need to feel fear about something, it makes their lives worthwhile and gives them a reason for living. Today's fear is climate change. But the disasters they are afraid of are not happening and won't happen.

Power and money is still with the oil companies, and will be for decades to come. If we're both still alive in 25 years, let's discuss whether willful ignorance of scientific facts* worked out happily for Mother Earth and her remaining inhabitants.

*hint: the global effects of rising temperatures are so much more complicated than you suggest.

Any comparison to the Ice Age is ridiculous, given the impact of 8 billion people, their food and water and shelter needs, their automobiles, toys and all the rest. Educate yourself!

But there is a matter of truth. Science says nothing on your side. Truth is not a debating society or a democracy, where majority vote rules. In 1944, I doubt if the average citizen {like you} would have had any hope that Oppenheimer’s work would have succeeded. Congress was never asked to approve the ‘Manhattan Project’, and {fortunately} they never heard of it. Climate is kind of a statistical average; science predicts that as the CO2 level increases, average temperature and standard deviation {variability} will both increase. That is truth, regardless of whether you all believe it or not.

For many years climate change activists have been screaming fear tactics that the world is going to end in the next 10 years if we don't change this or that. But, the world still exists and hasn't gone down the tubes. I think that according to AOC the world was supposed to end two years ago, but we're still here just like we will be in 20-25 years.

In Dallas in the summer of 1979 the temp was 113 degrees on day. The local weatherman on tv cooked an egg on the sidewalk that day. We even had a record 33 straight days above 100 degrees. FORTY FOUR YEARS LATER NONE of those records have been broken. The record that has been broken is the LOW TEMPERATURE - it was -2 degrees two years ago in Dallas, caused by global warming no doubt.

Does anyone remember the dust bowl days from many years ago? The climate has only improved since then, otherwise this nation would have ceased to exist. Can you change the course of the environment? No. What has caused the climate changes over the centuries? What caused the Ice Age? What caused the loss of the ice age? Why did the dinosaurs die? Could you have saved them if you lived back then?

All you climate fear activists are doing is causing the costs of energy and everything that is run by energy to accelerate. The poor, whom you claim to care about, can't afford the new electric vehicles. They can hardly afford the costs of energy to heat and cool their living quarters, costs which have accelerated in the past 2 1/2 years.

What you can't do is change the course of the environment no matter what you do. All you do is cause fear among the gullible and foolish.
