Was The ‘Preindustrial Period’ Of 1850-1900 An Era Of Perfect Climate?

Global climate policy has evolved from an emphasis on reducing risks associated with altering the climate to one focused on seeing the global average surface temperature as an indicator of the quality of life on the entire planet that we can fine-tune through energy policy. [emphasis, links added]

This singular focus is clear in the figure below from the most recent assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR6 WG2 Figure FAQ16.5.1), which summarizes “reasons for concern” about “climate-related hazards” — these include “extreme weather events” and “large-scale singular events.”1

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
