Should I be asked whether I would propose the West, such as it is today, as a model to my country, I would frankly have to answer negatively. No, I could not recommend your society as an ideal for the transformation of ours. Through deep suffering, people in our own country have now achieved a spiritual development of such intensity that the Western system in its present state of spiritual exhaustion does not look attractive.

Aliens. Love the ears, eyes, tongue, and blood. But why not an elephant? But maybe the uterus is used for hybridization of us with them to keep...

Nowadays, fewer and fewer teachers and professors are protected by such a system. If, upon the mention of all that, your thoughts immediately went to Russia circa 1920, you're right. Please come to the front of the class for a gold star.

Plimer's right. And yet he's wrong!
We also live in 'interesting times', in the ancient Chinese sense.
So how on Earth do we square both propositions; that 'the sky is falling' and that 'the sky is not falling'?
It appears to us that 'the sky will fall' at some point (we theorize that that 'point' is some threshold of mass suffering brought on by wilful violation of free will - to wit, global totalitarianism).
So yes, it's 'man-made', when The Man 'breaks the basic order of things', and not due to cumulative man-made CO2 emissions 'by the plebs'.
Somehow, 'messages from the future' were picked up by the Powers That Be, decades in advance of that 'point', urging them to 'prepare the masses' for climate chaos before it manifests. As is typical, the Powers That Be twisted that message around in service to their power.
And so you end up with people shrieking 'the sky is falling!' while others stand around going 'er, no it's not'. That, we think, is because the system managers 'anticipated' the scenario and programmed a misleading version of it into the masses.
This - they wishfully think - will 'weight' said masses into clinging to the Powers That Be when the crisis hits, rather than (as people have historically done) blame their leaders for 'bringing the sky down on our heads'.

The professor is right; the climate is cyclical. Not one, but several interwoven cycles - although this is not something that "can be known" per se. It's just obvious to me.
It's different from the oscillating theory. Rather, think of it as layers or the wheels of a large clockwork that has our solar system move about around the centre of our galaxy, which in turn moves about a "central sun" of this universe. One of millions of solar systems, in a galaxy among millions of galaxies.
So let's say the Chinese idea of "ages" is in its basic form (without the zodiac/personality thing) a correct idea. We're just not talking about a couple of generations, but hundreds of years for each "wheel" to finish its revolution. The Maya calandar is basically the same idea, but this one takes a few thousand years to complete.
The sun cycles fluctuate pretty evenly every 200 or so years. Meaning that it is affected by its relative position in the galaxy, which in turn affects the climate. However, there is a larger cycle - one where we are in between ice ages and have been so for 15000 years. Also, a thousand years ago was a warm period, and so was the time around the rise of Rome a thousand years before that again. So from just these patterns I can tell that there are at least three different unknown celestial objects that are altering the sun's energy output and thus our climate - and these have cycles that create minor fluctuations every 200, 1000 and 15000 years.
There are perhaps more. Almost certainly. There are geological patterns millions of years long. Hard to say how long before the entire universe has reset to the way it is now - my guess is; never - as the universe expands.
