Justice Stevens, who has published not a single peer-reviewed paper on the subject, made another scientific error in his opinion when he declared that CO2 was "the most important ... greenhouse gas." It isn't — water vapor is. But apparently the Court reasoned it had little control over the oceans — the primary source of water vapor — and would therefore have to content itself with ordering people around who will meekly comply with its increasingly outrageous and unconstitutional rulings.

LOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE"
Around 3000 BC
It occurs to me now that I read that the Inca and Mayan cultures failed due to changing climate and that the fields and crops slowing began to shift. I saw maps somewhere showing the destruction of the crops over a lenghty period.
and then it says in the bible that the Eygptians put up large stores of food 7 years? to deal with the plagues of locus and crop failure? What happened to the Eygptians? Was it war or climate change? I remember reading somewhere about climate change being responsible more so for the destruction of civilizations than war or etc. I think I saw a movie about it years back.
What happened to Eypgt? and it must have been around 3000 BC to 0 BC when the Inca and Mayans failed and Eygpt? around 1000 BC?
So the climate shifted as little as 2000 or 3000 years ago but where is the evidence besides the South Americas?
Or did they not know because it occurred so slowly or incidiously?
The RA Expeditions (1969-70)
Thor Heyerdahl continued his research on ancient navigation and turned his attention to the ancient reed-boats made of papyrus. These boats were deemed insufficient to cross the Atlantic as the reeds were believed to become water-logged after less than two weeks on open water. Heyerdahl believed that contemporary science underestimated the the ancient vessels and undertook to prove this by experiment. In 1969, he bought 12 tons of papyrus and worked with experts to construct an ancient-style vessel. The result was a 15 m boat which was launched at the old Phoenician port of Safi, Morocco. In the spirit of cooperation, Heyerdahl embarked under the UN flag with a crew of seven men from seven countries. The papyrus craft, Ra, sailed 5000 km (2700 nautical miles) in 56 days until storms and deficiencies in the construction caused the team to abandon their target only one week short of Barbados.
Ten months later, Heyerdahl tried the same voyage with the smaller (12 meter) Ra II. This vessel crossed the widest part of the Atlantic 6100 km (3270 nautical miles) in 57 days, from Safi to Barbados. Once again, this voyage showed that modern science under-estimated long-forgotten aboriginal technologies. The theory that Mediterranean vessels built prior to Columbus could not have crossed the Atlantic was thrown on its head.
In subsequent years, Heyerdahl continued on many other expeditions, including the Tigris river (1977) and the Maldives Islands (1982, 83 and 84). Now in his eighties, Heyerdahl remains an active participant in archaeological expeditions, as well as an international promoter of cooperation and understanding between peoples across the globe.

Quote I use the on-line Wikipedia encyclopedia to gather information tidbits. It seems that when I have a question, I am able to get direct answers quickly (it satisfies my need to rush). Academia has divided the bronze age into three segments, the Early Bronze Age (c.3500-2000 BC), Middle Bronze Age (c.2000-1600 BC) and Late Bronze Age (c.1600-1200 BC). These dates exclude the Americas where I found this comment in Wikipedia: “The Bronze Age in the Andes region of South America is thought to have begun at about 900 BC when Chavin artisans discovered how to alloy copper with tin.” The Andes region was the only American region mentioned but bronze may have appeared earlier in other American locations. I also found this confirmation regarding the land bridge: “The Bering Land Bridge is significant for several reasons, not least because it enabled human migration to the Americas from Asia about 12,000 years ago.”
There is some evidence (summarized around 1998) for pre-Columbian transoceanic voyages perhaps between ancient Egypt and the Americas: (I couldn’t find this one in Wikipedia)

"American Drugs in Egyptian Mummies:
A Review of the Evidence
Samuel A. Wells
Abstract:
The recent findings of cocaine, nicotine, and hashish in Egyptian mummies by Balabanova et. al. have been criticized on grounds that: contamination of the mummies may have occurred, improper techniques may have been used, chemical decomposition may have produced the compounds in question, recent mummies of drug users were mistakenly evaluated, that no similar cases are known of such compounds in long-dead bodies, and especially that pre-Columbian transoceanic voyages are highly speculative. These criticisms are each discussed in turn. Balabanova et. al. are shown to have used and confirmed their findings with accepted methods. The possibility of the compounds being byproducts of decomposition is shown to be without precedent and highly unlikely. The possibility that the researchers made evaluations from of faked mummies of recent drug users is shown to be highly unlikely in almost all cases. Several additional cases of identified American drugs in mummies are discussed. Additionally, it is shown that significant evidence exists for contact with the Americas in pre-Columbian times. It is determined that the original findings are supported by substantial evidence despite the initial criticisms." JohnM
That "traffic" in payrus vessels in around 3000 BC would explain the startling similarity between Inca and Mayan and Eygptian architecture. There are geographical variancences mind you but similar forms and functions perhaps.
Egyptian DYNASTIES : Old Kingdom (2705 - 2213 BC)
7th and 8th dynasties
At About this time the Old Kingdom state collapsed. Egypt simultaneously suffered political failure and environmental disaster. There was famine, civil disorder and a rise in the death rate. The climate of Northeast Africa became dryer, and combined with the low inundations of the Nile, the cemeteries were becoming rapidly full.

So this is evidence that global climate changed whether warming or cooling occurred as little as 3000 to 4000 years ago and wiped out the Egyptians, Mayans and Incas and they may not even have known it was occurring but what was the cause of the change?
And Egyptian mummimies have been found with american drugs of cocaine and tobacoco because the Egyptians were crossing the atlantic via papayrus vessels around 4000 to to 1000 BC as proved by Thor Heyerdahls RA II in the 1950s
Apparently fire discovered in 400,000 BC was being used around the same time 6,000 BC by aboriginals and Europeans and others to clear areas for crops as the argricultural revolution that started in 40,000 BC was ramping up. It may be that the global use of fires for "land clearing" created sufficient green house gases over a thousand years to cause an abundance of greenhouse gases in the atomosphere and these gases may have caused climate disruption that caused the crops of the Incas and Egyptians to fail on the respective continents.

Supreme Court ruling on global warming: There they go again
On Monday, the Supreme Court once again demonstrated it has no regard for the constitutional limits on its judicial overreach by meddling in issues that were designed by the Founders to be handled by the legislative and executive branches of government.
The Court essentially ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate carbon dioxide emissions and other greenhouse gases, or face further legal action.
The Justices, evidently now fancying themselves the not-to-be-questioned arbiters of science along with just about everything else, ruled that CO2 is a pollutant. But it is not. CO2 is plant food, and higher concentrations of CO2 are beneficial to plant growth and therefore a positive boon to human life. During photosynthesis, plants convert CO2 to carbohydrates and release oxygen into the atmosphere in the process.
The Court's ruling ignores the fact that for the last 30 years, the EPA has been ordering automakers to find ways to eliminate every other emission from tailpipes except for CO2, for the obvious reason that it is not a pollutant.
Once again the left, unable to achieve its agenda through the democratic process, has resorted to the autocratic power of the Supreme Court to get what it wants.

it is good that they are doing this because behaviour to addictions is very difficult to change
and that seems to be the case in the current climate change and human crisis.

I think to face the fact of this as an addiction problem can help in ways out.

Earth
Good Friday
Dawn
Morning , well I thought the children would save humanity but alas they have been silent, perhaps to far removed though not as much as we from the Planet.
I was thus in ponderation? New Climate Report out, somewhat disturbing but...
The animals, the birds and bees thus, they should know as they "knew" about the Tsunami in 2004, we must follow their lead.
It is perhaps backed by the realization that climate change has occurred before.
The 10 to 12,000 BC the climate was changing. Some nomadic tribes in Asia moved to the North and then to the East perhaps following the buffalo herds or ? their food . Then and there they found the land bridge at the Bering Sea and the aboriginals "discovered" America. They over the years thus found refuge here until the climate change that conquered the Mayans and Incas.
Let us watch then the animals and birds and bees and ants and live more like them. They are still more in touch and intuitive with the planet. They might act as guides as how to live in a sustainable and climate freindly manner. Apparently though we may lose 1/4 of the earths 50 million species but perhaps new ones will emerge.
