Using a Y range of only around 1 unit to make a plotted line look scary is not sound statistics.
What would be sound statistics? Plotting it out in Kelvin from absolute zero so the difference between the last glacial maximum and the Eemian thermal maximum is a couple of pixels?

Plot the actual temps in Celsius over the recorded period....

That's what you're looking at? Each of the four colored lines is a temperature dataset and the grey is the 95% confidence interval for the models.

I'm talking about the Y-axis. Use the actual temps as a scale.

Of course that would make the line look not scary so it can't be used.

Absolutely.

A carbon-rich black layer, dating to 12.9 ka, has been previously identified at 50 Clovis-age sites across North America and appears contemporaneous with the abrupt onset of Younger Dryas (YD) cooling. The in situ bones of extinct Pleistocene megafauna, along with Clovis tool assemblages, occur below this black layer but not within or above it. Causes for the extinctions, YD cooling, and termination of Clovis culture have long been controversial. In this paper, we provide evidence for an extraterrestrial (ET) impact event at 12.9 ka, which we hypothesize caused abrupt environmental changes that contributed to YD cooling, major ecological reorgani- zation, broad-scale extinctions, and rapid human behavioral shifts at the end of the Clovis Period. Clovis-age sites in North American are overlain by a thin, discrete layer with varying peak abundances of (i) magnetic grains with iridium, (ii) magnetic microspherules, (iii) char- coal, (iv) soot, (v) carbon spherules, (vi) glass-like carbon containing nanodiamonds, and (vii) fullerenes with ET helium, all of which are evidence for an ET impact and associated biomass burning at 12.9 ka. This layer also extends throughout at least 15 Carolina Bays, which are unique, elliptical depressions, oriented to the northwest across the Atlantic Coastal Plain. We propose that one or more large, low-density ET objects exploded over northern North America, par- tially destabilizing the Laurentide Ice Sheet and triggering YD cooling. The shock wave, thermal pulse, and event-related environmental effects (e.g., extensive biomass burning and food limitations) con- tributed to end-Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and adaptive shifts among PaleoAmericans in North America.

If not for climate change we would still be in an ice age.

Guess you missed the following:

quote:

Ice shelves are permanent floating sheets of ice that connect to a landmass, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Since the ice is already floating, the newly created iceberg won't contribute to rising sea levels.


I'm supposed to be bothered why, exactly?

None of us deny climate change.

Climate change is a fact. It has happened for 3.5 billion years on this planet and will continue to happen until the sun becomes a red giant and engulfs the earth.

What we deny is Man made/caused global warming.

Ill throw you a bone and even agree that man may be contributing to global warming, but I completely disagree that it is a bad thing.

As a matter of FACT, Global warming is actually fantastic for the United States.

It is one of the best possible things that could happen for THIS country and should be encouraged.

What you uninformed alarmists miss is all climate models show that for the United States the amount of arable land increases from 36 to 76% in the US from a 5 degree C increase in global temperature.

We will truly become the bread basket of the world even more so than we are now.


So be kind to your fellow American and fire up your SUV.

Edit: I don't own an SUV but because I love the USA I'll be like Motel 6 and leave a light on for you!

how the frick would you know? What's not normal for the earth is to even have polar ice. That's only happened during 5 relatively short ice ages, one of which we are still in the middle of. Up until about 15 million years ago there was no Antarctic or artic ice sheet at all, since the end of the next most previous ice age

What is happening to my country


I don't deny that greenhouse gases can increase global temperatures. What I deny is that the Paris accord (or any of the other treaties like it) have anything to do with climate change. They are nothing but wealth redistribution schemes.

I also think the climate change problem will fix itself by natural market forces. Someone will make electric cars viable and cheap. Battery technology is progressing. One day we'll have nuclear fusion which will solve the power grid problem.

It's called gravity. When the ice shelf becomes so laden with ice that the buoyancy of the water underneath can no longer load the weight, it cracks and breaks off. The word cantilever and shear strength can be applied in this application.

Dear God, I pray that this young man is a troll.
