re: Earth is billions of years old

We have thousands of years of tree ring samples and 100 of thousands in ice core.

OK, let's use the data from ice core samples from Antarctica then. The Vostok cores show ~ 400,000 years of data that is cyclical, and that data shows ice ages and periods of warming. Modern man wasn't around for half of that time period, and began burning fossil fuel just a little over 100 ago.

Now, how does that data support Anthropogenic Global Warming? Hint - it doesn't. And taxation will not fix this nonexistent "problem"

You cited freaking wikipedia

You got to pull back the layers man

“We don’t believe the ice cores can be interpreted purely as a signal of temperature,” says Anders Carlson, a University of Wisconsin–Madison geosciences professor. “You have to consider where the precipitation that formed the ice came from.”

So you're just going to ignore that after the industrial revolution the rate of temperature change FAR exceeds that any other time period during those 400,000 years?

With truly accurate instruments being used we’ll call more like 30 years old.

The methodology and technology is better than you suggest.

Mother earth doesn't give a rats arse about us humans and she will be here supporting life after our specialized azzes are gone to the fossil record.

True, barring some huge solar flare or asteroid obliterating Earth.

It is really cute and nice. Dang you all are some "now" people.

If as we are being told, one or two tenths of a degree increase in global temperature per year over a few decades will lead to our extinction a few decimal places would be something to quibble about.

* I said there were good arguments - but his was an embarrassment - so why the partial rebuttal?

And yours.... well it's also chock full of illogical assumptions. I've never (ever) supported carbon credit's or any type climate-tax. Cyclic yes! But I didn't claim it proved anything. In fact I didn't show any support.

I'm for clean air - clean water - and a cleaner environment. And the hoopla over global warming is counter to that. It's a way for polluters to misdirect the issue. It's like a thief crying fire so he can rob the place blind while everyone is running around in fear. To me many polluters have conveniently jumped on this issue as a way to avoid their environmental responsibilities, by mis-framing the argument through association with something much harder to prove. I see environmental concers as responsibilities erroneously lumped together with global-warming by those who want-need-or-hope to avoid similar but definitely proven problems.

Hint: not every issue is pro or con to your way of thinking.. It's unfortunate the environment has become a Dem-Rep issue when it should be everyone's and one reason why I'm an Independent (it's a flaw in the 2party process).
