It was a good idea, that deal we did, I reckon. If you like living inside a mutual admiration society and approving each other's fatuous, but ever-so-emotionally-satisfying nonsense. >> There's a forestry department that inspects every property and issues >> periodic reports too. >> >> Humans have known about fire for dozens of years by now. > > Indeed!

We didn't get to find out about the natural cyclical variation until anthropogenic global warming made looking carefully at the climate a matter of urgency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_multidecadal_oscillation That particular cyclic variation wasn't even named until 2000, when it was labelled by Michael Mann of hockey-stick fame. The unnatural anthropogenic global warming the Cursitor Doom and John Larkin are foolishly skeptical about is an even bigger menace, but they prefer to ignore it. -- Bil Sloman, Sydney
