Speculation

Scientists are always right of course, but what would happen if they are wrong? The first Question should be what could they be right or wrong about. Read the links of this Post by Mark Perry. Here is the Scene: Greenhouse Gases are bad because they reflect Sunlight (and Heat) back into Space, cooling surface Temperatures. The World could continue to grow Colder as We heat Our homes. Heating your homes Today can freeze all Life on this Earth Tomorrow. The Mayans could have been Warning of another Ice Age in 2012.

The Scene is unrealistic, or is it? There would be a Warming Period (let’s say 200 years) before an adverse effect from the Greenhouse Gases, where these Gases would not reflect sufficient Sunlight from the Earth, but would help retain Heat on the Surface of the Planet. The Little Ice Age could have been a forewarning of future events, as severely dirty human practice created heavy Greenhouse Gas emissions shortly after the congregation of most of humanity in urban areas. There was a massive reversion back to rural settings, plus a massive transfer of population in exploratory settlement after the Little Ice Age; all with a reduction of Greenhouse Gas concentrations. Could the Scientists be Right about Greenhouse Gases, but Wrong about their impact?

One can attest that We are releasing far more Greenhouse Gases today than were being released before the Little Ice Age, but the geographic spread of those Gases are much greater today, while humanity has changed the Surface absorption capacities of the land from the Period prior to the Little Ice Age. Sunlight heats far more ground, concrete, stone, and fresh water today, rather than the Plant life it replaced. This means that the Days are much hotter, and the Nights cooler. I have not checked, but I suspect that concentrated human habitation produces greater Cloud cover; what happens under a permanently cloudy day? Do I believe what I have written–No! Do I doubt what I have written–equally No!. lgl
