"Global Warming", Ha Ha, tell me another good joke!

The phase shift to ice age is not slow, it could be very fast.
The dropping of temperature of one degree, on a four hundred kilometer fault line causes a contraction of a couple of meters , which could cause fault lines to act up.

Thank you for that video as well. I download them from Youtube and watch them several times to get a good understanding of whats happening around us.

a reply to: D8Tee

The gist from the Einstein of weather systems, says a mini ice age will be in effect from 2030 and a full blown ice age from 2050.

The Sun is showing signs it is dying, slowly, but surely.

Many estimates, but the one I agree predicts about 8000 years from now.

And current signs would seem to confirm it, too.

Ironic that the Sun will still be alive, while dying, long after we are all dead...

If someone is predicting the sun is going to die in 8000 years, you might want to check and see what school they went to, sounds like a nutter to me.

Only thing I have to say about this topic....

The earth's climate is controlled by the sun.

If someone can point out how anything humans do that that directly affects the cycle our sun, go for it.

You might want to consider why Venus is warmer than Mercury. Or why it is cold in space.

Or possibly just read a basic science book.

No but he has worked with scientists on the matter since college. Kind of like Rump doesn't know much of anything other than how to surround himself with somewhat intelligent and yes men/ women. Except Gore can actually present himself professionally.

a reply to: conscientiousobserver

True, but for the sake of discussion of using his words as means to disprove the science is fallacious. He doesn't work on the direct science to be an official source even if he does hang out with the right people and is well informed. He's kind of like Bill Nye. A smart dude, but you have to remember he isn't the ultimate authority.

Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide. There are no comparisons to be made with our atmosphere.

So atmosphere is relavent to temperature then.

The poster I replied to was claiming temperature is controlled solely by the sun. This is not the case.

We all know that without an atmosphere it's going to be a lot colder here. What I am saying is that Venus, while it is commonly called a 'runaway greenhouse model', we have such a different atmosphere it's not even worth comparing. Might as well compare us to a gas giant.

a reply to: D8Tee

Comparison to another planet is obvious an extreme example. It is merely to point out the fallacy of claiming that the sun is the sole factor in temperature. We can also look back at the earth long term history and see radically different atmosphere and temperature.

Are you concerned that C02 is driving the temperature up at this point in history?

All else being equal increasing CO2 will increase the earth's temperature.

How much we should be concerened by that is a different and more complicated question.

Thats just it, all things are not equal or the following chart would look much different.

My apologies I thought you were being serious.

Unless you really think picking the warmest year you can find them trend lining from there is valid way to measure climate change.

What would you like the dataset and range to be?
Where's the warming in the last 18 years?
Besides this last el nino year there hasn't been much has there?
Explain that?

2016 was the warmest year on record?

a reply to: ScepticScot

What record? How does it compare to 1934?

It was hotter, why do you ask?
