Earth in 'ice age' period; global warming a fallacy

This earth is now in the "ice ages" period that started 2.5 million years ago and has lasted to the present time. During these 2.5 million years, there have been five distinct ice ages. The most recent one started 70,000 years ago, and continues to the present day.

For a chart of world temperature changes during these last 70,000 years, refer to Google (abrupt climate change during the last ice age). During these 70,000 years, the world temperature has oscillated 25 times between warmer and cooler, and these oscillations are called Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles.

At the present time we are on the warming side of the latest cycle, which has now been going on for about 6,000 years, and which gives rise to the "global warming" hysteria now commonly seen. But the cooling side of this cycle could begin any time in the next 1,000 years, and may last a few thousand years until the next cycle begins.

What does all this "global warming" hysteria cost? According to one source, the world spends $1 billion per day to combat global warming. All this is wasted money because nobody can change these Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles, which have been going on for 70,000 years.

If I were to send this information to every politician in Washington, they would either be too stupid to understand it or would deliberately ignore it because they want to spend us all into oblivion, followed by communism, which is an immediate threat. Maybe the next president can save us, if we elect the right one.

To summarize, global warming could change to global cooling any time in the next 1,000 years, but communism could be on us in one more year. If that happens, America will enter a new Dark Ages that will last forever.
