So what we have on the best current evidence is that
global temperatures are currently rising;
the rise is part of a nearly million-year oscillation with the current rise beginning some 25,000 years ago;
the dominant source and sink for CO2 are the oceans, accounting for about two-thirds of the exchange, with vegetation as the major secondary source
and sink;
if CO2 were the temperature–oscillation source, no mechanism—other than the separately driven temperature (which would then be a circular
argument)—has been proposed to account independently for the CO2 rise and fall over a 400,000-year period;

OK what is driving the temperature?

There is no such thing as runaway global warming. You may get a temperature spike but never in the recorded history of this planet have the
temperatures just gone up out of control and not stopped. There have been temperature spikes. And as impressive as each spike was there was an
equally impressive temperature crash. The ride wasn't a gradual one where you come to a hump and slowly go over the top. You basically hit top and
came crashing back down. How do you handle billions of freezing people and no way to provide warmth?
Well,
There is your source for 400,000 years of history. As far as handling freezing people, I recommend insulated gloves

"Fiery birth of a new Pacific island!"
Thus read the announcement from the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Organization (CSIRO), which had sent researchers to the Soloman
Islands to study a "dormant" underwater volcano.
Instead, it was very much alive. The scientists watched in amazement as lava,
ash, and plumes of steam and smoke rose high above the ocean's surface.
They were witnessing the birth of the Island Kavachi.
Underwater volcanic activity in the Arctic Ocean far stronger than anyone imagined!
(This strongly confirms my belief that underwater volcanic activity is heating the seas; not human activity.)

Mount St. Helens glacier growing 50 feet per year. September 20, 2004 - Located inside the volcanic crater formed during its 1980 eruption, America’s
youngest glacier is also its fastest growing glacier. Scientists estimate that the thickness of the glacier has increased by nearly 50 feet per year.
“Today,” says a brochure published by the US Forest Service, “the snow and ice in the crater is equal in volume to all of the pre-eruption glaciers on
Mount St. Helens combined.” Why is no one bothering to tell us about this? See list of expanding glaciers.
Second coldest month on record at the South Pole - 23 Sep 2004 – “We missed the coldest month ever recorded here at the Pole by only six tenths of a
degree - minus 89.0 degrees Fahrenheit recorded in August 1987,” says Troy Wiles, a member of the medical team at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole
Station. (Not exactly “global warming,” is it?)

. Felix is a really
nice guy. I correspond with him from time to time. He is on the money with what he says. If you haven't read his book yet I'd recommend it. I
was fascinated with the story about the massive pile of dinosaur bones. To think what would have caused it boggles the mind.
