Thanks for the picture thread with zero commentary.
You mind explaining what AGW is?

Ah you must be a young'in not to remember the doom and gloom and subsequent Nobel Prize for Al Gore's global warming PowerPoint presentation back in 2007. Funny enough, he didn't get a single prediction right.

Artificial Global Warming maybe?

I've seen a separate ATS thread (different material) illustrating that many of the graphs and plot used to tell us to be afraid had cherry picked start dates (cherry picked data) that communicated misleading results.

For instance: water levels have been rising at very constant rate since well before the industrial revolution (actively measured), with evidence indicating a few thousand years before. The plot used started a few decades ago.

AGW, Anthropomorphic Global Warming, a theory that human actions alone are responsible for all recent climate change. This does not take into consideration the facts that the Earth was warmer in the past, had higher concentrations of carbon dioxide, and many other factors. This theory fails to explain the long term trends in weather over thousands of years before humans were industrialized. It also has no explanation of why the temperature of Mars is rising slightly even though humans have only put a few tons of material on that planet. This temperature rise is also occurring on the other planets of this solar system.

I suspect the output of the Sun has changed in a normal cyclical manner but that doesn't fit with AGW.

Anthropogenic.

Reason no. 11: It's stupid.

Sorry about that and it has been too long to edit.

I should also mentioned the political side of it, using AGW to try to control the people.

So you are telling me the 45% rise in atmospheric CO2 levels since the industrial revolution is just natural? And has no effect on our climate?

Good thing your alt-right talking points debunk what the actual experts are telling on climate change.

alt-right herp derp.

Thank you for explaining. I do remember it now. Did he predict an ice age?

a reply to: jrod

Yes, if you mean 45% inside 0.04%
