Who was recording the data 300,00 years before the existence of humans?
Layers of ice in Antartica are always good indicators.
But this is such a stupid point. Just because we didn't have working thermometers back 300,000 years ago and haven't recorded every single month's temperature since then doesn't mean we don't have a good idea what happened. It's like asking did we have video cameras to record evolution.

We have computers now. So all the fossil evidence collected before computers is no good now.

you completely missed his point.
he said the hottest recorded month is only for a small period in earth's history.

The +/- 0.5 C tolerance just means the thermometer will read within +/- 0.5C of 0 if you put it in a water/ice bath (at standard pressure bla bla).

So, what was the global temperature for the month of May in 1327 and how does it compare to that for the month of May in 2014?

Would you like to talk about science
Is this the science board, oh no - we don't have a science board. Probably should be on the religion board anyway, oh wait - don;t have one of those either.
Oh look, it's on the Political Talk board.

or what you like to talk about what I might say or not say under a given hypothetical circumstance?

The analogy is that 150 years to the age of the Earth, is about 3 seconds out of a century.
I think how Earth is now compared to the other 4.5 billion years is largely irrelevant. For at least 4 billion of those years, the environmental conditions on Earth would not support life on land. Then there was so much oxygen in the air that that would have killed us as well from oxygen poisoning, and it got so hot that it's theorized that the atmosphere could have caught literally on fire.
Obviously, we won't be dealing with situations this extreme, but I do think that a general inconvenience could be coming to our planet. I'm sure we'll recover, it just pisses me off when people don't even want to have a back-up plan just in case something 97% of scientists say that is going on actually happens. If we could harness 1% of the sun's energy, could you imagine what that could do? I'm just saying at least give it a shot.

You don't actually understand what cap & trade is, do you? Under cap and trade, companies don't receive money from big government to reduce their emissions. They receive money from other players in the market buying their unused allowances at market price.
Yes, but is a company goes over it's cap buy credits from another company (increase in cost) or the gooberment will tax the frick out of them (increase in cost). These increases in cost will be past to the consumer.
And let's be honest the caps will be set at some point which is almost inpossible to stay beneith so everyone will be taxed.

Layers of ice in Antartica are always good indicators of conditions in Antarctica.
Taking a proxy sample at one location and extrapolating to the entire planet is the stuff of Briffa, Mann, etc. IOW, very easy to manipulate.

There's nothing the US can do about it. Our emissions are a drop in the bucket worldwide. China is the real problem if co2 is the problem. Until they do anything, co2 levels will continue to rise
That and India, I sadly agree, but we can at least try to help out the problem somewhat.

So had man possessed capability of performing such ice core analysis 10K yrs ago, or 100K yrs ago or 300K yrs ago, what would his predictions about current global temps have been?
IOW, studying those "layers of ice", what average temperature would our current global climate be expected to exhibit?

So, when the earth was formed was the temperature very hot or very cold? If it was very hot, wouldn't it be in a cooling phase?

The odd thing is, though, I don't see a lot of people talking about and/or proposing "back-up plans" as much as I see people proposing how to take other people's money and/or how to make other people do different things, all for quite tenuous rationales, even assuming 97% of the scientists are absolutely correct as to what will happen, as you presuppose.

I can't do anything about the sun, Spidey. Neither can you.
Actually, we can, in making it part of the solution to the problem. I really think we should be aiming more for solar, wind, and nuclear energy, and get off coal and oil as soon as we can.

There's a difference between climate and weather.

What CO2 bullshite? Are you claiming that CO2 doesn't warm the atmosphere?

many claim that warming leads to more co2 meaning that it isn't as big of a deal as many claim.
Note: have you noticed the past 14 years there hasn't been a large change in temperature but co2 continues to go up?

Some will say that it's liquid heat comprised in the form of solidified glacier melting that once it hits the earth and the core temperature of the earth releases it's breath, our oceans will rise considerably.
