So Much For Global Warming...

Okay, so this has nothing to do with CHT and this blog site is supposed to discuss all things CHT. I promise to be more disciplined about that in the future, but I've just got to get you to read a book I read this past week while relaxing by the pool in Florida.

It's about, ironically, the high possibility of an Ice Age in our life-time, heck in my life-time and from the last post, you know how long that is.

The book is by a man called Robert Felix. He began researching it in 1991, well before global warming entered public consciousness in any big way. The book has been updated several times and as far as I'm concerned, it's an eye-opener because it turns the Al Gore stuff on it's head.

In fact it doesn't refute some of the Al Gore information, take ocean warming, for example. But it comes to different conclusions about what causes ocean heating and the ultimate consequences of extreme ocean heating.

Before you shoot me down for bucking the common trend, hear this guy out. He's not a nut-case as near as I can tell. Watch this video and then follow some of the links I've provided below.

Keep an open mind as you watch Robert Felix's video:
Video: Robert Felix: Not By Fire But By Ice and if you're not convinced, read his book Book: Not By Fire But By Ice.

He's not denying global warming. But he suggests that a natural cycle, that repeats every 11,500 years brings on ice ages. The fossil record reports this has happened quite predictably, give or take 100 years, for at least 500,000 years. We're due for another one. There is some serious evidence that he may be right. One of the side effects is apparent global warming due to ocean warming.

Ocean warming leads to evaporation. Ever greater evaporation leads to unusual amounts of percipitation, and growing ice accumulation in the winter seasons and at high elevations. Twelve inches of rainfall equates to 120 inches of snow. All you need is a week or two of torrential percipitation in the winter season and the possibility of an ice-age cycle beginning is magnified until one day, the snow is just too deep to melt in a single spring-summer cycle. The fossil record indicates this can happen very quickly, in as little as 10-20 years. The Wolly Mammoth and a few other large mammals died in the last ice age. A few were found frozen with fresh flowers and grasses in their stomachs, as if they had been flash frozen.

Polar ice is melting presently due to ocean warming, and this is only part of an overall, natural cycle. Ocean heating, he claims is a normal phenomenon (perhaps assisted a bit by us) but primarily caused by underwater volcanic activity. There are at least a million underwater volcanoes some of them presently active and heating the oceans from down below where it really matters.

His book, which I recommend you read, has been updated several times. It's thoroughly researched and well documented. He's a lucid writer and his book makes a convincing case. I've followed up many of his scientific references and they appear accurate and up to date.
