Climate change survey focuses on ag opinions

According to a letter from House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., that went with the questionnaire, farmers, ranchers and forest landowners have participated in agricultural programs that reduce carbon for years.

The questionnaire's goal, he said, was to identify ways that these practices could be recognized and incorporated into climate-change legislation.

What is the meaning of all this? It could be that human CO2 emissions will alter the existing rhythm of glacial-interglacial periods, but that seems unlikely. Once again the impact of CO2 as a driver of climate change is shown to be minimal, and that it is more likely an indicator that change has taken place than as the instigator of change. The Croll-Milankovitch cycles remain widely accepted as the forcing that decides the timing of glacial-interglacial periods. Data from the glaciation record are in strong agreement with this theory. In particular, during the last 700,000 years, the dominant period of glacial-interglacial oscillation has been 100,000 years, which corresponds to changes in Earth's eccentricity and orbital inclination. Global warming alarmists continue to stress the dangers of carbon dioxide while mounting scientific evidence indicates that CO2 plays only a minor roll in climate change.
