    Yes. The temperature record of the past never stays the same. In fact every iteration has made the past cooler.

    Research Milankovitch cycles and why they can't explain current trends.

    Because the planet is spherical and rotating on its axis at a rate 24 hrs per revolution.

    What other cycles are in play ?? Where is ~ 90% of incident solar energy stored ??

    According to Greenland CISP2 it has been cooling since the Holocene Optimum 8,000 years ago and past warming cycles were warmer than this one. The temperatures are not that different than past inter-glacials and in fact cooler than the last one. At some point the Holocene will end and plunge us back into a long glacial period. Many scientists expect that within about 400 years and one thinks we just missed it. The change has to do with the cycles but the trigger is not fully understood.

    I think that based on the actual numbers of fires started by arson and their severity versus the total numbers of fires and overall severity makes it extremely unlikely and that the concerted social media campaign linking the two is deliberately misleading. There is also evidence that the social media campaign has been orchestrated by troll bots. BB and Sallyally have both provided links pointing to this.

    All true. Mankind has always benefitted from warm periods. Not so much cold periods.

    Exactly. Clearly warm is much better than cold. Unfortunately the IPCC and other alarmist organizations refuse to acknowledge this.

    Well, there's sunspot activity but that is regular, easily accountable cycles and has nowhere near enough influence to make the difference between a warming period and an ice age.

    Exactly. Australia, sadly, has long had a problem with arsonists - many of whom are members of volunteer fire services.

    The severity of the fires is a result of drought, and has no bearing on ignition. The act of arson pertains only to ignition.

    As for 'social media campaign' ..... are you suggesting that such activities never disseminate misleading information? If so, have you recently been released from deep isolation without a phone signal?

    Hey, if you have some nugget of information don't keep it to yourself.

    It really isn't. Do you have any concept of what 50c does to plants, animals, water, and people?
