pieces on
skeptic climate scientist Dr Willie Soon here and here, in which the first
piece said Dr Soon was valuable to the «forces of

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the
climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual
climate scientist pseudo
skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this
piece), when the earth changes
climate easily as it is,
climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now)
by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.
