Current Events » in reply to Election Over, McCain Criticizes Bush on Climate Change

Yes, Bush is GOD and he controls the climate. Phooey!

As I have posted so many times before, the climate of the Earth is subject to continuous changes, and has been for 4 billion years. Most of the factors, and ALL of the major factors, are forever beyond human control, to wit:

1. Precession of Earth's axis
2. Nutation of Earth's axis
3. Eccentricity of Earth's orbit
4. Vulcanism
5. Plate tectonics

That does not mean that we have no effect, but our effect is minor.

Prudence requires that we consider even our small effects, especially if our effects are in the same direction as natural factors. But, strangely enough, the sky is NOT falling.
