- There cannot be a climate crisis when temperatures are unusually cool.
- Scientists have documented, and even the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has admitted, that temperatures were warmer than today throughout most of the time period that human civilization has existed.
- Temperatures would have to keep warming at their present pace for at least another century or two before we reach temperatures that were common during early human civilization.
- There can be no climate crisis – based on the notion of dangerously high temperatures – when humans have thrived in temperatures much warmer than today for most of the last 12,000 years.

The estimates of the average temperature in the past 12000 years are not particularly accurate, but what we estimate falsifies a statement in this article:
“humans have thrived in temperatures much warmer than today for most of the last 12,000 years.”
The author also makes the mistake of comparing centuries with 100% natural climate change with the past century, which included several manmade climate change variables.
The author is correct that there is no climate crisis now. But he fails to understand that the so-called climate crisis is merely a prediction, that has been wrong for 50 years, not a description of the climate right now. There are many leftists claiming every bad weather event is a climate crisis, but weather is not climate.
I’m sorry to say the author has the correct conclusion but was incompetent in supporting that conclusion with facts, data and logic. Which is unusual for this website.
