The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[Thryleon]

It’s relatively easy to interpret the past (my caper) but predicting what’s going to happen in the future is another kettle of fish altogether.

A significant unknown is whether the Anthropocene impacts will negate the forces that would normally cause a change from inter-glacial to glacial.

Then there’s asteroid strike  :o

Apparently this has already occurred and we are roughly 100 years late.

The issue I have is determining correlation vs causation.  We would be polluting at a much higher rate today than we were 100 years ago simply by volume.
