Do you mean the system recovered when the abnormal influence was removed? That is exactly what those concerned about climate change would like to see happen: remove/limit/lessen the CO2 so that the cycle can revert.

You seem to care about the motivation of others (why it matters), that's your thing. My thing is to care about misleading (or just plain wrong) statements, especially when based on junk science and bad analysis.

You said maybe it was Brady, maybe it was Gronk. Maybe it was something else. Maybe the other teams were just not as good, and now they are better.

I can't be charged with being a "denier" since I don't deny that the climate changes. It always has and it always will. I have doubts that anything that we do can change our climate from changing. Perhaps a giant bubble (like the one over the Villages?) situated over each populated area in the world, with a giant climate control like my car has, will make it all better?
First off, why should I agree that we should throw trillions of bucks into studies on how to fix the weather patterns; ie, man made climate control? When someone suggests that anyone that does not agree with them is ignorant and uneducated, it makes me wonder how idiotic some folks are to waste trillions on studies to find solutions for something that would take hundreds or thousands of years to prove and initiate. I doubt that man will exist in a thousand years, so I really don't care about the weather changes. Even if I was concerned about the weather, no matter what I do, I could not make any difference in my lifetime. If the younger generation feels it can improve it's future, let them handle it. Personally, I am retired and enjoy the hot weather. The only problem I have is the rising cost of utilities and insurance; oh, and the cost of food, and .....inflation. Take for instance, the great fuel tax holiday this month. Did anyone notice the lower price of gasoline at the pumps? Neither did I. The price went up so that they could discount it by 25 cents a gallon. Same price I paid for it the last fill up. Then, they have an excuse to have a high price after the tax holiday is over. But, I digress again. Like I said, I am not a denier. I believe in climate change. But, I don't get all hysterical like a school girl (oops) and believe that by running out and purchasing a EV or stop eating beef and switching to mystery meat, that I am going to change the temperature in my lifetime. Sorry, if that hurts anyone's feelings. And by the way, if being a believer in the Almighty and His Son for salvation makes me a "denier" then, just add that to my other label if being a "deplorable." That said, I have no problem with lowering my contribution to air pollution....IF it's a reasonable request. I like clean air as much as anyone else. I am very happy with how much cleaner our air has become, compared to what it was like when I was a kid.

I’ve always been amazed at how important humans in general feel they are. To think that we are the ones to cause the earth to warm or cool is comical. The earth is a living planet and we are but microorganisms in comparison. There are under sea volcanoes with unprecedented activity that is naturally warming the oceans, the planet is doing its thing until it eventually will expire like the rest of the universe. Don’t pretend to know more than nature. We as a species can’t stop the forces of Mother Nature. We have all put faith in the science, and over the years science discovers something that it wasn’t previously aware of and we all realize how wrong we or the previous generations were. Don’t be so gullible as to believe with unshaken conviction that you are right. Live the best way that you currently believe and don’t force your beliefs on others. We are all a blip in the grand scheme of the universe. We can just as easily be taken out by an asteroid. Take care of yourself, those around you, and the wonderful planet we enjoy today. Stop worrying about what may or may not happen in a thousand years.

The real problem is conspicuous consumption. The earth’s resources are being depleted creating ever new cars and boats and private jets and huge mansions that are lived in sometimes for only weeks in a year. Pushing EVs and more efficient appliances is nothing but a bandaid. Instead of trying to change climate change we should be learning how to deal with it, like not building right on the water. The only thing I am denying is the proposed “solutions” which are not solving anything but just shifting it to different problem.
