@Pontifex Geologic Events Show Earth Is In A Cool Period Today Back Whn Warmer LIfe Flourished http://wp.me/ps8ST-61f
Putting on my memory hat and thinking about the long ago times, I got to remembering my high school science classes. In particular, the “Earth Sciences”. One thing that I’d tended to ‘glaze over’ was the funny names they gave to pre-history times. Things like “Precambrian” and “Boreal”. It was years later before I really did more than just parrot them back for exams. The “funny names” are not very systematic and don’t have self clarity ( they are not self obvious as to what they mean and need external referent for clarity. For example Boreal really means ‘cold time’, so why not just say “cold time”? Or originally “dry time”, so why not say “cold and dry time”?)
So we are being constantly told that if the planet warms by just One More Degree (or sometimes two…) it will be the end of life as we know it and…

Earth science textbooks and teachers used to teach students about the geologic record of climate change.
Those records are no longer in vogue, being inconsistent with the current AGW dogma of CO2-induced global warming.
