Why the lack of memory?

Question

I realized the fear-mongers have an incredibly short memory, and that this applies to a few things they try to attack prosperous peoples with.

The global warming crowd only looks at temperature statistics from the last 100 years or so. If they looked back 500 years, or a 1000 years, they would see that there was warming AND cooling before cars and industrialization ever existed.

The population control people apparently only look at population growth statistics from the last 50-200 years to get their doomsday picture of a planet overrun everywhere with billions times billions of people. If they would look at population statistics for the last few thousand years, they would see that population growth goes through relatively short periods of massive growth, and then levels off for a much longer period of time.

My question(s) than is(are);

What leads the radicals to call for drastic economically disastrous measures from limited statistics? Why do some people like to create fake apocalypse-like problems?

global warming really gets interesting when you look at the last 65 million years.

what happened between 65 million and 3 million years ago that caused it to be so warm.

they only look at the last 100 years because they can "adjust" the data that far back.

they want to get rid of industry, stop logging. get rid of power plants, big oil ect.

for the last 40 years they have been fighting all these things and lossing many of the battles.

now they have rolled all these it to one called global warming.

now when they want to shut down something they will claim causes global warming.

the whole global warming scam is about the treehuggers getting what the want.

it is part of the old 'bread and circuses' plan formed by the Romans.
