Absolute Proof increased CO2 causes global "cooling"?, page 2

You just answered your question by yourself, thanks! That is exactly what I was referring to.

What you are forgetting is that we are polluting the planet. We are killing off thousands of species every year with our polluting lifestyles. It is not just about global warming or climate change. It is about saving what is left of the fragile ecosystem.

There have been 5 major extinction events in the history of the earth, all caused by nature. We are currently causing the sixth and it eventually may lead to the end for Homo Sapiens.

70% of biologists view the present era as part of a mass extinction event, possibly one of the fastest ever, according to a 1998 survey by the American Museum of Natural History. Some, such as E. O. Wilson of Harvard University, predict that humanity's destruction of the biosphere could cause the extinction of one-half of all species in the next 100 years. Research and conservation efforts, such as the IUCN's annual "Red List" of threatened species, all point to an ongoing period of enhanced extinction, though some offer much lower rates and hence longer time scales before the onset of catastrophic damage. The extinction of many megafauna near the end of the most recent ice age is also sometimes considered part of the Holocene extinction event.[4] Some paleontologists, however, question whether the available data support a comparison with mass extinctions in the past

lol

The same data that has been used to claim 'cooling' since a cherrypicked 1998, now shows warming since a cherrypicked 1999.

The trend is clear enough.

A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Heh, so move the cherrypicking down to a single year period, lol. I like the 'wipe out 100 years of warming' bit...

They do know that the last year or so has been a La Nina? They compare Jan 07 to Jan 08, so I hope they decide to report the probable warming from Jan 08 to Jan 09...as it look like we already have warming of about 0.3'C for Jan 08 to Nov 08 for HadCRUT. That's almost half of 100 years of warming, lol.

Warming's back! Indeed, it looks like today is warmer than yesterday, no thermometer, just feels that way - I used the Melometer. So, I will make a very bold prediction...we will find warming from Nov 08 to Sep 09. I've actually measured the temps outside my house today and will compare!

You just answered your question by yourself, thanks!

it was a rhetorical question, to give an introductory statement to what i was about to say, in response to your post.

Here be some notes from my Earth and Environmental Science class about the whole subject of cooling vs. warming:



basic ocean heat cycles





thermo-haline cycle

to hell with cooling...an increase in CO2, could cause suffucation

No - we wouldn't start noticing the effects of CO2 until it reached around 20% of the make-up of the atmosphere. At the moment, it only accounts for 0.03%. We couldn't actually burn enough fuel to get anywhere close.

You can't confuse the ignorant with facts...........99.99% of all atmo is NOT manmade CO2......a fact the ignorant refuse the see.......
