16 years 9 months, crazy fast global warming

  1. Hey piehole, you blustering bag of bullshit. What do you think the chances are that the increase in CO2 is due to man? Just a coincidence? Yeah, just a coincidence.

  2. Hey piehole! Think the rise in CO2 is just due to natural CO2 cycles? Maybe the isotope measuring isn't accurate. Perhaps the earth just decided to burp huge amounts of CO2 exactly when man started burning fossil fuels. Yeah, that's it. Can't be sure if man did it. After all there is the sub thermohaline carbon cycle and mass balance turnovers with aseotropic versimilitudes and duck sauce, that Salby says proves man has nothing to with it.

  3. The fact is that around 1970 there were 6 times as many scientists predicting a warming rather than a cooling planet. Today, with 30+years more data to analyse, we've reached a clear scientific consensus: 97% of working climate scientists agree with the view that human beings are causing global warming.

  4. In the 1970s, the most comprehensive study on climate change (and the closest thing to a scientific consensus at the time) was the 1975 US National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Report. Their basic conclusion was "…we do not have a good quantitative understanding of our climate machine and what determines its course. Without the fundamental understanding, it does not seem possible to predict climate…"

    This is in strong contrast with the current position of the US National Academy of Sciences: "...there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring... It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities... The scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action." This is in a joint statement with the Academies of Science from Brazil, France, Canada, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United Kingdom.

  5. I wonder what could be causing the sudden atmospheric CO2 rise? What do think jerm? GWB? How about it you right wing morons! Any idea? Guesses?

  6. Oh, and CO2 is what again? Say it with me! A GREENHOUSE GAS.

    A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.[1] The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Greenhouse gases greatly affect the temperature of the Earth; without them, Earth's surface would average about 33 °C colder, which is about 59 °F below the present average of 14 °C (57 °F).[2][3][4]

    Of course Futurecurrents has just posted endless pages of crap but he never addressed the above except to shovel the debunked nonsense that in the 1970s that there were 6 times the scientists claiming the world as warming than cooling. As someone who lived through the 1970s I can tell you this is simply not true.

    Similarly Futurecurrents has posted endless pages of crap but never addressed that the West Antarctic Glacier Melt the alarmists raised such a ruckus over a few weeks ago is solely due to volcanic activity.
