I’ve been struck by the way climate change is viewed as a catastrophic event by the alarmist/activist crowd.

One of the most bizzarely illogical reactions was from a Swiss glacier expert, who pointed out that glaciers in Switzerland have been receding of late. He then pointed out that over 3,000 years ago (that would be in the final stages of the Bronze Age, when the climate in Europe was milder than it is now), the glaciers were at least 1,000 meters further receded than is the case today. He pointed out with alarm that Switzerland’s glaciers may recede that far again!

I was flummoxed? Hello? Did the Bronze Age Swiss have a problem with this? And when the weather got cooler a couple of centuries later (coincidentally ushering in the Iron Age), did the Iron Age Swiss kvetch about that? Maybe, maybe not. It was a time of profound change, and not just because of the introduction of iron tools and weapons. Germanic tribes expanded, pushing southward and westward into Celtic territories. The climate change may have had something,to do with it.

The AGW crowd isn’t so much about environmentalism as it is about being reactionary in the most irrational way. They fear change to the “nth” degree. Their enemy is the very Nature they so claim to revere, but they refuse to acknowledge this, and turn on Humanity as the culprit instead.
