I have seen it, and it's all

We get it, in the last 200-something years, the global temperature has risen a fraction of 1°.

Well DUH!! It's because it's like the tropics in the North Pole, all the ice is melting and cooling the ocean... just like the ice in your rum and coke!

I've done this experiment many times and KNOW it's true!!

Did you look at the chart I posted? It is going to get so much hotter than that. We are at one of the coolest points in all those cycles. Damn man - ruining the all those ancient periods millions and millions of years ago.

...who should die first? If made made carbon based fuel emissions are the cause and the cure, reducing them, then the only way to do that is to kill human beings, to impose our will.

We can put our own economy into turmoil by eliminating carbon emissions and, perhaps, we'll survive it. In the mean time, when the biggest consumer no longer uses them, carbon based fuels will become incredibly cheap and easy to get and use and every other economy on the planet will use them. They'll use them because they won't likely choose to just allow their nations and people to suffer the titanic consequences of the massive reductions that reducing CO2 levels will take. They won't allow the mass starvation and freezing and collapse of their economies. They won't because they have no prospects of surviving that kind of shock.

Unless we force them to stop. That means war.

So, who first? We could dramatically reduce CO2 emissions tomorrow if we just whack 1.3 some odd billion Chinese. That might do the trick right there. If not, who else? And, when that does nothing for global warming, how do we apologize?

And what about the warming on Mars? Maybe we should wipe out India to to save the heating on Mars which, using the same logic, must also be cause by us and not variations on and within the largest heat source in the galaxy.

Let the planet saving begin!

Oh puhleez... I didn't see anyone in this thread propose exterminating billions of Chinese and Indians.

But, congratulations on erecting the biggest straw man in web history! Quite an accomplishment there!

Figure the odds.
The Nobel is a joke. Carter got his for brokering peace where there is no peace. Gore gets one for something that 1) turns out isn't happening and 2) didn't result in peace.

So, the people in it for the science can't be trusted to make sense out of it because so complicated, but the fossil-fuel greedheads wouldn't steer you wrong. (BTW, this "nazis" thing -- do you really associate some Poindexter who has bad hair & a pocket-protector with Nazi, over a sneering Dick like Cheney? Do you run over puppies & cuddle snakes?)

Where? What?
So, if you think that the ice caps & glaciers aren't 1,000 years, how old do you think the earth is? Just curious.

Look, I'm not going to tutor you in climatology or earth science. Short answer: there are other global warming factors than carbon dioxide, for example methane & water vapor both have more greenhouse effect; one suggestion might be that as the planet warms, more carbon dioxide is released from the land, oceans & biota BECAUSE THE PLANET WARMS UP. That's why the consensus says that it is a problem: these effects multiply each other.

See, there's the hysteria and it didn't come from the save-the-planet side, it came from your buddies in Bush country. And cost? Every fuel-related thread on this forum other than this one moans about how expensive gas (oil) is.

Wiki has admitted problems, but if you read it they include a disclaimer when the article is disputed. Read a little closer and you will see that the claims made in Wiki-articles are referenced, even the counter-claims, so someone doing research can go look for themselves. That's what those footnote thingies are for. (I guess only Wiki-morons don't know that.) I use Wiki because it is a clearinghouse of information; anyone interested can dig deeper given the references in Wiki; the truly accomplished can type their own Google searches -- just be sure that you rank the other sources with as much skepticism as you do the ideas that you pre-disagree with. (BTW, I did include other links but I ain't digging them up for you.)
I was on the Gulf Coast 3 summers ago (and many before that). I predict that you will not experience 12 mild summers in the next dozen years.

I'll get to the rest of you later.

But but but....that (just like the global temperature probes) shows the earth has been cooling since 1940!!! Al is not going to be happy.
