re: Global Warming is BS: coldest temperature EVER recorded on Antarctica this month

Well Pecker, considering the planet is 4.5 Billion years old and you are referencing temp and Ice data from the last 120 years, you are drawing pretty damning conclusion from a .0000027% sample size. For reference, its the equivalent of determining your average speed in a 1000 mile trip by taking a sample of your speed over 1.71 inches.

Yeah, but we're talking less about the highest or lowest, and more about rate of change. That's the key. The Cretaceous was way way warmer than it is today, and much higher CO2, but the rate of change from those levels to now, or into those levels...much slower.

Wait... I thought that the earth was only a few thousand years old. And we should not worry about global warming because God made a rainbow and promise never to flood the earth again.

So you all should just stop debatin' this 'science' mumble-jumble...

See my last chart showing C02 levels in the atmosphere. It is a huge vertical jump ever since we've entered the industrial and fossil fuels era. There is a direct correlation with this and the increase in temperatures.

Is there? cause i remember in the 90's these scientists said there is a hole in the Ozone over Antarctica and by mid 2000s we would all be burned by the sun.

I'm not saying it is going to solve anything necessarily if you read my post. I think it's a good effort and step in the right direction that many people are scared to try.

no one is "scared" to try it. People are against leftist wanting laws to "make" someone go that route when it is more expensive, less efficient, and not a real solution to the problem.

I agree, there should be more hydro. There is a hydro damn on the MS river up at old river. Why arent there more. All these river diversions should include power plants and they could fund themselves.

but solar? until battery technology progress about 20 years, it really isnt a good economic solution.

Is there a chance, that the Earth is trying to rid itself, eventually of Humans and civilization, and start over. Ala, what happened to the Dinosaurs??

Prehistoric data like this is determined by one of two ways: spot samples or computer models. You can infer trends, but not specifics, especially on a 120 year period. 120 years is nothing in geologic time.

Isn't that the point?

Do you think that there is a relationship between CO2 and temperature?

maybe 3 giant frozen hurricanes are going to pop up and freeze the top 3rd of the world like on that movie that one time.

Well I'd imagine that there would be an increase in hurricanes with an increase in energy.

Sure, but you can't say the "Rate of change in CO2 is higher now than 65 million years ago" and automatically assume its human caused. During a 100 year period in the Cretaceous period, it might've been higher. Its impossible to know or to model that.

From what I've read, it depends. CO2 increases typically follow Temp increases, and that makes sense. More heat= hotter oceans= more CO2 released. But there are instances where increases happen during cooling events. Some scientists think this has to do with plants dying off in cooler temps leading to CO2 increases.

Look, my whole issue with this is Dems uses shitty examples to justify taxes and subsidies. Exxon paying a dude with land in Montana to grow trees isn't helping save the environment. And imposing taxes isn't doing so either.
