Al Gore says global warming anti-alarmists are like Flat Earthers and that the science is “settled.” Don’t tell Western Washington University geologist Don Easterbrook:
“Despite all you hear about the debate being over, the debate is just starting,†Easterbrook said.
Easterbrook doesn’t deny that the Earth’s climate has been warming slowly since about 1980. But he argued that this warming trend fits a longstanding pattern of warming and cooling cycles that last roughly 30 years. Sunspot activity and other solar changes appear to explain the 30-year cycles, he said.
If that pattern persists, the earth could now be close to the next 30-year cooling cycle, Easterbrook said.
Hey, Al, better buy some mukluks and insulate that house of yours that uses 12 times what a normal house uses.
