Meanwhile, "from the 1940s to early 1970s" CO2 was increasing. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, you know! Where is FCs chart of rising CO2 when we need it?
If it makes you feel better, sure, I'm ignorant, deluded, and wrong. And I'm equally deluded about everything. As far as being a right wing moron, that's incorrect. I'm slightly right of center moron who has voted for candidates in both parties - but I vote for the person I consider to be the best candidate rather than party affiliation. Do you do the same? Don't bother; I already know the answer. I'm primarily on this website to get investment information. This section of the forum is where I wander when things are boring - I do NOT reside here. At the moment, I'm wasting most of my time discussing oil futures, where even a moron such as myself is able to profit from the drop in the price of oil. Why did I do a search of your previous posts? To see if you were capable of intelligent discussion on the primary topic of this forum - investments. I expected to find a smattering of purile posts on investments from you. To my surprise, nothing. Not a single post outside of Politics and Religion. Why do you only post about Politics and Religion (in your case, the religion/cult of AGW) on an investment forum? I'd like to tell you that it's been enlightening to mentally spar with you on the subject of AGW, but you merely repeat poorly constructed arguments that I've read many times with no intelligent counterpoints to the growing chasm between predicted warming due to CO2 and real world observations. Worse, you fail to acknowledge that the official dataset are being altered in a manner that cools the past and warms the present. Absent those temperature adjustments, the contrived warming trend would disappear. And the fact that this adjustment of data doesn't trouble you is puzzling to me - it tells me that you can be shown that the data's been adjusted but do not see problems with altering official records. It reminds me of discussions with die-hard Nixon lovers who dismissed the missing 18 1/2 minutes. That, my friend, is the earmark of a brainwashed cultist who will believe anything. You are no different than the followers of Jimmy Jones who freely drank the kool aid. It is unfortunate that you are not able to think for yourself. “To find yourself, think for yourself.” ― Socrates
He would have been one of the suckers buying Enron the whole way to zero, saying that they had a good balance sheet.
This is what I mean when I say you are deluded and ignorant. There IS no "chasm" between predicted warming and what we are seeing. It is well within predicted ranges. And it certainly is not growing. This year is the hottest on record. Yes there was a slight pause in warming of the air but that's because the heat went into the oceans, no-one expects a perfect linear correlation between CO2 and temps as there are also natural cycles on top of it and model predictions are for long range trends not yearly changes. Anyone who DOES expect a perfect linear correlation - like you and piezoe - obviously does not know much about climatology and/or are just plain stupid. And sorry, but your delusion extends to this "temperature adjustment". You must be one of those conspiracy nuts. The idea that NOAA scientists would engage in such widespread open fraud is absurd and the kind of thing right wing nutcases entertain. If you were just a little less deluded you would see that the adjustment was done for scientifically valid reasons in a valid open, logical way. But all YOU hear and believe is the propaganda that you read on Breitbart or Forbes. Putting aside the fact that other country's weather services also show the same basic temps and trends and the world's ice IS melting. Yes, global warming is really occuring. Stop being such a gullible sheep.
