Global Warming makes movements in thousands and tens of thousands of years, we cannot tell what's going to happen down the road from looking at the year to year readings. In the future we may see a peak higher than the 60.91 F peak and then again we may not see a higher peak. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the Global Temperatures will continue doing what they have been doing for thousands of years, and that is to wander up and down.

There is a school of thinking that says every Fourth Interglacial Warm Period is larger than the other three. The last Fourth Interglacial Warm Period, 420,000 years ago, lasted 32 thousand years. We are now in the next Fourth Interglacial Warm Period which has already lasted 11.5 thousand years. If this school of thinking is correct, then this current Global Interglacial Period has about twenty thousand years to go, which means that life has twenty thousand years more of warm living. This is good because living during an Ice Age is very hard.

There is also a school of thinking about carbon dioxide. This school says that while carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas in that it will block certain wavelengths of heat, the level of carbon dioxide in the air years ago was already blocking all the wavelengths of heat that carbon dioxide is able to block, any additional carbon dioxide in the air will not block any more heat. Having said this, it is true that other greenhouse gases if allowed to build up, would block other wavelengths of heat - so greenhouse gases other than CO2 and water should be curtailed.

More about carbon dioxide: In every one of the Interglacial Global Warming Periods, carbon dioxide rose to high levels and it did this without any help from mankind. Man made carbon dioxide is currently going up like a rocket to the moon, but it is not causing temperatures to rise, so it apears to not be a problem at this time, but the media like Sixty Minutes is part of a problem. Whenever the media speaks of Global Warning they speak as if it is a fact that man made carbon dioxide is the cause of our Interglacial Warm Period and more will give us Run-A-Way Global Heating. If the Fourth Estate and the Fifth Estate, the so called scientists, team up together and force the world to spend resources to curtail carbon dioxide, these resources will be wasted.

The Other Main Greenhouse Gas: There are two main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide is one, the other is water. Nothing is being said about water as a cause of Global Warming, but water levels in the air are real, if higher levels of carbon dioxide are suppose to be such a danger to us, then water should also be as large a danger towards causing Global Warming - neither one is a danger to us because neither one is the cause of the rising temperatures. These so called scientists have things reversed, or as my father would say: 'They have it ass-backwards' - It is the rising temperatures that caused the natural rise of carbon dioxide and water in the air, that is, before 1750 AD, since 1750 unnatural man made carbon dioxide has caused carbon dioxide levels to rise, but not temperature.

Carbon dioxide levels are now at 380 ppm When the level gets to 1000 ppm, the level will be one tenth of one percent of the air - yes, it will reach 1000, maybe even two or three thousand, no one knows for sure how high the level will go up. Sixty million years ago the level was 3500 ppm and as far as we know no beasts were hurt, but then we don't know everything from back then. I have read that levels of fifteen percent CO2 will be dangerous to us. The article did not say why, but we can assume that our lungs will have a hard time getting rid of CO2 out of our blood when the air we are breathing already has a high level of CO2. Also there is the problem of CO2 settling into pools in low places, like in your basement, could kill your pets and small children. When the pilot light on your hot water heater keep going out, that will be a bad sign. You will need a small fan that will suck CO2 off the top of your basement floor and exhaust it outside.

What End in Sight is there? There are a few possible ends in sight to the high rising man-made carbon dioxide. The first possible end will be when mankind runs out of fossil fuels, that should happen in less than one thousand years. We should hope that CO2 levels do not rise to fifteen percent before that time, if so, the population of this planet may be reduced sharply, a grim population control solution. World governments population controls would delay the exhaustion of fuel, but the same high level of CO2 would still be reached, only delayed. The final end in sight is when global temperatures go down, yes they will go down in spite of very high CO2 levels. Lower temperatures will take CO2 down, but that may not start for twenty thousand years.

Mankind will need to watch the rise of CO2 levels and have a plan in place, of drastic measures, to enforce at some level far short of fifteen percent, I suggest one percent, I have no reason to pick one percent, but the ppm number for one percent is 10,000, a large number for the no-help media to rant about. If the level of CO2 can be kept well below fifteen percent until temperatures start to fall, then mankind will have dodged the bullet - do you feel better?

Currently we have already had a twenty degree Fahrenheit up movement, so what is next is for average temperatures to work their way down past fifty-five F degrees, not today, not in a hundred years, nor in a thousand years, maybe not in ten thousand years, but they will work their way down, but there is no hurry. Current global temperatures are not a net problem because everyone who has lived or will live in this current interglacial warm period should thank their lucky stars that they lived during warm global temperatures. Without these Global Warming periods, we would be living on a planet locked into a deep ice age. In about one hundred thousand years the people of this planet will experience what that will be like. The current warm period will be gone and the glaciers will have returned to continue where they left off before our current warm period interupted them. Around the world, North & South, glaciers will have pushed populations far away from both poles. In America, our next glacier will push populations further south than the current Ohio River, the limit of travel of the last land glacier - so enjoy the warmth while it lasts.

I should have been able to help you better understand Global Warming, if you do, you should come to realize that the current condition of temperature is natural and normal. If you have reached this level of understanding, then the next step is for you to realize that we humans must adapt to a changing planet, because it is going to change, CO2 levels are going to rise, how much will be of concern.

A new scientific article now accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters shows that the globally averaged upper ocean cooled dramatically between 2003 and 2005, effectively erasing 20% of the warming that occurred over the previous 48 years! - Cooler Oceans Mean a Cooler Planet.
