Just more global warming hysteria

Kaleigh Glaza's letter (Fence Post, Dec. 2) is an example of the sort of hysteria that pervades true believers in the global warming hoax. She hysterically demands that we must do something even if she has no idea what we must do. She seems to believe that any problem can be solved if we throw enough money at it.

No one is saying we should discontinue research on global warming (I never said that in my letter as she charges), but we should not tax ourselves into a recession and destroy the economy over global warming which may not be a problem at all. The majority of climate scientists don't believe or are unsure that climate models can accurately predict future climates so we can't be sure if global warming will be good or bad for the world. In fact, the Roman Warming (200 B. C. - 600 A. D.) and the Medieval Warming (900 A.D. - 1300 A.D.) were times of progress that allowed wine to be grown in England and farming in Greenland.

Global warming is just part of a normal cycle that has occurred many times in the history of the planet regardless of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. No one can be sure that the planet is at that optimum average temperature now. We are emerging from the Little Ice Age that ended about 1850, and now maybe it would be better for the world to be a little warmer before the next ice age sets in.
