Let's Not forget our love of lopping down beautiful trees for making such as dinner tables and chairs!
tables and chairs are very plentiful out where I live where trees grow anywhere you don't stop them from growing. And the population is very stable and we don't need to pick up and move quickly.
Climate Change... aka natural Climate Change... has had an impact on human history. AGW... a failed and flawed theory... has had zero impact on human history.
CO2 leads to warmer atmosphere. Warmer atmosphere holds more water. More water can now fall out of the atmosphere. This can cause floods. Precip amounts of precip events is increasing. Columbus Egyptians Monsanto. And don't forget the pyramids built for holding grain,
No. Of course not. I was hoping you'd appreciate my Sunday Morning silliness. My real position on this issue is quite different from most people. I am irritated that the science is so bad, and that this really bad science has infested the media and politicians to the point the good science has been largely ignored. Almost all the early guesses that that idiot Hansen put out there are wrong, drastically so in a number of cases. He found an audience because of his title, not because of his work, which is really bad! The models are horrible. I won't say they are a complete waste of time because we have at least learned what doesn't work! All of the data we have now is consistent with CO2 content being partly or mostly driven by temperature, and not the other way around. Exactly as Salby, one of the competent atmospheric physicists, said it was and in perfect agreement with the data. That's why your going to see CO2 and temperature remain quite correlated. I'm totally ok with those politicians wanting to reduce our carbon footprint (the reduction will be negligible) because the jobs and alternative energy development will be good. It's just that people are doing these things based on very bad science, and therefore for the wrong reasons. Why not do things for the right reason? We should be going full speed ahead on high speed rail. that is by far most energy efficient way to move people and stuff rapidly. Airplanes suck when it comes to energy efficiency. Don't expect any dramatic changes in climate, barring some huge natural disaster (collision with a giant asteroid) it is going to go on fluctuating and changing as it always has during our lifetimes. Yes, of course we affect climate locally. Cities are hotter than the country side. Phoenix is (or was) humid in the summer because of all those folks trying to grow lawns using Colorado river water, etc. These are local effects having nothing to do with widespread climate change. (local effects, that that idiot Hansen and is boys never once properly accounted for. ) Come back in a few centuries and you might be able to see some difference. It is going to get warmer in some places and cooler in other places. Don't pay any attention to Hansen's surface temperature data. Only look at the integrated Satellite data.
