Hi Bob,
Seems some of us can accept our share of responsibility for the climate change
disaster unfolding around us, others will not. It seems those most
responsible, the biggest producers and consumers of fossil fuels, will go
farthest to evade responsibility.
Easy ways to reduce energy consumption:
Replace incandescent and fluorescent lights with LED’s. replacing 7 -75 watt
pot lights in our kitchen reduced load by 450 watts.
Switch off your computer and router over night. Plug the computer, router,
printer etc into a power bar to make this easy.
Insulate hot water pipes.

Sorry Don but I am going to have to call foul.
Your attachment is not a “NASA report” but an un-attributed opinion piece which
provides an interpretation of the real “NASA report”. As usual the author
refers to some parts of the real NASA report and ignores the parts that don’t
substantiate the author’s opinion.
The real NASA report can be easily found on the NASA Earth Observatory website
at https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Milankovitch/milankovitch_3.php
This report is a short read and states, in a dry scientific journal style, how
Milankovic’s theory was eventually proven accurate by using sub-sea cores to
extract a record of earth temperatures and correlate them to Milankovic’s
theory over a period of 450,000 years.
The National Research Council did conclude, as stated in you opinion piece,
that:
...orbital variations remain the most thoroughly examined mechanism of climatic
change on time scales of tens of thousands of years and are by far the clearest
case of a direct effect of changing insolation on the lower atmosphere of Earth
(National Research Council, 1982).
The current climate change debate is centered on climate changes over a very
short time, essentially the period since the industrial revolution and the
accelerated growth in global population.
I think it’s a pretty big stretch to try to postulate that a proven theory that
explains slowly rising and falling earth temperature changes over tens of
thousands of year can explain the temperature increases over the past 250
years. If it was that easy yo correlate then I would expect to find that
correlation on a NASA official website as well as in other scientific journals.
Sorry but this opinion piece does not convince me of anything,
Bob T
