@robharris6874 A totally illogical and nonsensical reply to my request for evidence of their claim

@robharris6874 Once again I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. What do you want evidence of? My evidence of asking for evidence is evidence I am requesting evidence.

When in history did the level of your status in society not give you preferential treatment.

@AndrooUK Yep totally agree.

Write a paper submit it for publication and sit back and await your Nobel prize for economics. You’re on a winner there.

@AndrooUK Yes the Milankovitch cycle is significant, however your understanding of the ice core samples and the correlation between CO2 and global atmospheric temperatures is flawed. Antarctic ice core samples are not reflective of global temperatures. You need to read the following; The ice core record: climate sensitivity and future greenhouse variability - Lorius et al, Nature 1990. and Climate and atmosphere history of the past 420000 years from the Vostok ice core Antarctica - Petit et al Nature 1999.

OMG did you go to school? Ice core samples from Antartica allow us to investigate atmospheric conditions much further back than 2000 years, but we have trees that go back 10000 years that also give us indications of atmospheric conditions. You need to do a bit of reading and show just a little more curiosity.

@sillypuppy5940 Yes, fully accept your point. It however in no way diminishs mine or Morrow's point. There are ways and means to assess what the climate and temperature was like during the past.

@robharris6874 Utter garbage. Real accurate estimations of what? Your inability to understand climate science.

@robharris6874 Ice Age carbon dioxide levels are well known, because bubbles of Ice Age air are preserved within the Antarctic and Greenland glaciers. More ancient carbon dioxide levels are difficult to measure, since no samples of older air have been preserved. Several indirect methods are in use, one based on the effect of ocean carbon dioxide levels on the composition of marine sediments, and another on its effect on now-fossil plant leaves. These measurements show fairly convincingly that the long-term cooling trend over the last 50 million years is associated with a gradual decrease in carbon dioxide levels, from 2000-3000 parts per million during the Eocene Optimum to 200 p.p.m. during the Ice Age. The cause of this decrease is not fully understood, but seems to indicate that the total amount of carbon that can influence climate (carbon in the atmosphere, biosphere and ocean) is slowly decreasing, possibly because an increasing amount of carbon is being tied up in sedimentary rocks such as limestone.

@robharris6874 Here is further information on how science can determine temperature and climate from the past. Carbon dioxide levels have risen since the end of the Ice Age, first to a natural level of about 280 p.p.m. just before the start of the Industrial Era, and then to 400 p.p.m. as people burned coal and petroleum in large quantities. Carbon dioxide is currently increasing at a rate of about 2.6 p.p.m. per year. A critical question is the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide 35 million years ago, when glaciers began to form in Antarctica, for it serves as a rough estimate of the concentration needed to melt present-day Antarctica. It’s a rough estimate only, for geological conditions were not exactly the same now and then. In particular, strong ocean currents that today keep warmer waters away from Antarctica were not present 35 million years ago, owing to the somewhat different configuration of tectonic plates. Unfortunately, the best currently-available estimates of atmospheric carbon dioxide during this critical time period have large uncertainties. Carbon dioxide decreased from 600-1400 p.p.m. at the start of the glaciations to 400-700 p.p.m. several million years later. These measurements are consistent with modeling results, which give a threshold of about 780 p.p.m. for the formation of a continental-scale ice cap on Antarctica. This value will be reached by the year 2150 at the present growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide – or sooner if emission rates continue to soar – suggesting that Antarctica will be at risk of melting at that time. Antarctic ice will not melt overnight even should the threshold be reached. The deglaciation at the end of the Ice Age provides a useful example. The rate of sea level rise was initially low, just one-tenth of an inch per year. It then gradually increased, peaking at about 3 inches per year about 14,000 years ago, which was about 5,000 years after the start of the deglaciation. This rate persisted for 1,600 years, during which time sea level rose a total of 60 feet. The average rate of sea level rise was slower, about a half-inch per year.

Could you please cite Al Gore’s scientific qualifications?

@JPS-hd8qz Right, so we both agree a former politician/journalist has no expertise whatsoever in climate science. Then why reference his opinion? Or were you just attempting to create an illogical strawman argument?

@JPS-hd8qz Next time you decide to argue against anthropogenic climate change choose a scientific paper and it’s conclusion and prove it is wrong. In the meantime read a bit more widely The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2011), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2013) and the U.S. Global Change Research Program (Melillo et al., 2014) that global climate has warmed in response to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases ... Human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of the rapid warming since the middle 1900s (IPCC, 2013)." (2015)9

@richardlafleur8389 And you need to follow the thread of the rest of the conversation.

@rightlyso8507 If you read my other comments you will see I have already agreed with you.

@rightlyso8507 A documentary is not scientific evidence. It is a form of entertainment designed to perhaps inform. If you want evidence then start reading the over 20000 published peer reviewed scientific papers on climate in the last 20 years or so. Then make up your own mind.

Could you please cite or reference the documents that declared the end times.
1
@richardlafleur8389 Nope, just calling out hyperbolic language and BS when I see it. Not hard to understand at all.

@codyaucoin3412 Jeez you chucked a few things out there. 1) acid rain. Acid rain is a real phenomenon caused by sulfer dioxide and nitrogen oxides being emitted into air. This happens naturally through volcano's but mostly since the industrial revolution by burning fossil fuels. 2) ozone depletion. This again is a real phenomenon but fortunately has been largely addressed by the Montreal protocol which significantly reduced the CFC entering then atmosphere. The hole in the ozone layer has started to repair. This is actual evidence that human behaviour effects the atmosphere and that a change in human behaviour can repair it. Thankyou for pointing out this valuable lesson for humankind. 3) Y2K yep that was most definitely overblown. 4) Arctic ice. I am not aware of any scientific paper that ever claimed there would be no ice there by 2010, but am happy to read and reference you have. 5) Polar bears. Same again as with point 4. I am aware of grave concerns about the species and there is a concern they may become extinct by 2100 but not 2010. 5) Countries under water. Which countries and could you be more specific. Sea level rise is an observable phenomenon and has been accurately recorded since the late 18th century. Approximately 22cm. If it continues then yes certain current land masses will become uninhabitable. Are you doubting this almost universally accepted science. That's fine but you will have to provide some evidence for your claim. I believe I have addressed all your points, nothing really to get to worked up over. All we need to do basically is to reduce our carbon emissions in a sensible sustainable manner.

Could you please cite the scientific paper that suggested a ice age. Don’t use a Time magazine article as proof as that is just MSM. Also could you please reference in which IPCC report it stated we would all be dead in 20 years. Or perhaps it is you that is being hyperbolic.
