20,000 Lemings March Through London

Read about it here.

We really should stop man from polluting Mars and causing its northern polar ice cap from melting too...

Rising oceans and melting glaciers are rational indicators of climate change. Therefore, they are not lemmings. Instead, YOU ARE the lemming.

At what period of time has the climate not changed?

Douglas Porter said...

Data shows that the changes correspond almost perfectly with the Industrial Revolution. Don't be stupid, lemming.

Lemming.

Sooo....again...during what period of time has the climate not changed?

I see you are not going to address the sudden upsurge in temperature that exactly corresponds with the Industrial Revolution?

Douglas Porter said...

I like the fact that your link states that the greenhouse effect is working in tandem with other mechanism of CO2 that are increasing the CO2 atmospheric content. That means we should cut greenhouse gases even more!

I'm also interested in the fact that this little symbol is used "~" which means approximately. Considering that they are using quite inexact methods of figuring this stuff out, I would say any theory that purports to measure in thousands of years based on ice core measurements is a bit wacky. It is NOT that precise. That said, global temperatures rising during the same period as the IR is much more provable.

It was a bad link. I meant to remove that comment.

"I see you are not going to address the sudden upsurge in temperature that exactly corresponds with the Industrial Revolution?"

As soon as you explain what caused the upsurge 145,000 years ago.

"As soon as you explain what caused the upsurge 145,000 years ago."

No, no, the increase in temperature coincides with the Industrial Revolution. The ppm CO2 levels have increased yearly since 1850.

Horrible. This is your argument: Until you prove what caused a previous warming 145,000 years ago, you can not say that the Industrial Revolution is causing the current warming. THAT IS BULLSHIT. THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT GLOBAL WARMING IS THE RESULT OF CO2 GASES>>
