Well, now you enter timescales I'...Hi Lourens!<br /><br />Well, now you enter timescales I'm not too good at. Climate definitely has been much much warmer than today; in the Cretaceous, for example. I'm not sure how much of the time that has been the case over 4 billion years (that's lots!). It may be right, but what would that really matter to us? As I said, only 55 million years ago it was much warmer than today, but how is that a relief? <br /><br />And well I'm not at all convinced of Kroonenberg. I read his book, and he has some reasonable ideas, such as that it's a better idea to adapt than to try to mitigate; fair enough, you can prefer that. But his climatological foundation is as strong as a wet newsaper. Look at his bibliography; he seems to know an awful lot about the level of the Caspian Sea, and of Surinam gneisses, but at least at the time that he wrote that book (dMM) he evidently did not know enough about climate. And it didn't stop him from raising his voice in any spotlight he could find. I don't believe a word he says until he backs it up with solid references to solid research.<br /><br />(I re-posted this in order to correct an ugly typo)Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069445136489068063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768951319863824301.post-5042438735924410902010-01-25T14:18:07.050+00:002010-01-25T14:18:07.050+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069445136489068063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768951319863824301.post-6297561899910496702010-01-25T10:39:26.818+00:002010-01-25T10:39:26.818+00:00Hey Margot!

What struck me, was that during the last 4 billion years, the temperature has been considerabely higher than now during at least 3.95 billion years of that... And I'm talking an avarage temperature of 32-35C, whereas it's about 23C now. Would you care to comment on that? (Were they plain wrong?...)<br /><br />Adding to my confusion is the fact that prof. Salle Kroonenberg (Delft professor) was on the breakfast news on TV a couple of weeks ago, stating that no scientist has enough knowledge to make any credible claim about climate change anyway. Talking about something when you least expect it...<br /><br />Rest assured, the above two examples are not enough to stop me being very, very worried!<br /><br />Greetings, LourensUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152956213880584367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768951319863824301.post-67690938682318913892010-01-25T09:13:14.071+00:002010-01-25T09:13:14.071+00:00I actually thought it would be worse than this.
