Global Warming 10 years ago predictions

[Hotdiggity11]

This statement is false. All you have to do is look back to around 800-1200ad, and you see larger temp changes then what we are going through right now. So that is only looking back 1000 years, and I could imagine there has been even larger temp changes in the last 50 million years

Source where in 800-1200 AD we saw a larger temperature increase over a 150 year period?

Al Gore has been exposed as your typical scheming weasel politician.

The plan to "skyrocket" our utility bills as candidate Obama said, along with doubling gasoline at the pump has hit a snag. Leaked e-mails by scientists aka "climate gate" that brought to light that man made global warming is a farce.

People are still trying to use climate-gate as a source AFTER investigations cleared scientists of wrong-doing?


Talk about a manufactured hoax, climate-gate fits the bill.

say its 6 degrees over 300 years. That would kill a lot of marine life- and in the 3rd world countries this is a staple of life...thus leads to waring over resources, more technology on and on...

an rise in average global temps of 6 degrees over a 300 year span would be far, far beyond catastrophic, it wouldn't kill off 'alot' of marine life, it would wipe out most life as we currently know it.

I find it funny you quote Bjorn Lomborg, seeing how Lomborg "the skeptical environmentalist," was 12 years ago.

Now his postion is that global warming is "undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today" and "a challenge humanity must confront" that "Global warming is real - it is man-made and it is an important problem" and requires "tens of billions of dollars a year to be invested in tackling climate change"

Good point, Bjorn adjusted his opinion just this year to saying global warming is a major problem.

Source for yours first, so I know exactly what temperatures you are talking about

actually you are wrong, I assume you are erroneously referring to the medieval warm period, which was a North Atlantic phenomenon. Research shows that overall global temperatures were about the same, or jusy barely lower than the period from 1960-1990

It's funny people on here are using weather to decide shit about climate change.

so weather can be used as an example of Global Warming only during the sunny days of summer...when is hot ?

Here's the last 120 years.

Um, weather is not used to determine overall global warming, climate is. Thus why it is called CLIMATE change.

dude, are you for real ? WTF is your problem, can't you understand that most of the scientist and people promoting Global Warming are making big and easy money ? For 99% of them is either promoting Global Scam or working for McDonalds! I have a friend making around $15.000 a month promoting Global Warming by making banners and other shit, Gov. money...are big taxpayers bucks in this Global Warming scam.

temperature is part of the climate dumbazz ....

I was wondering where all the guys are who have never seen a pair of ......you're all hanging out in here

[maersksealand]

Said who ? The 3 corrupt science bodies run by the Gov. ? Google Climategate to learn how they manipulate the data. Do you know they destroyed all the temperature recordings ? Did you ever bother to read how they ignored hundreds of temperature recordings around the world ? Dude, you need to do some serious homework...

Here's the last 120 years.

Temperature and climate are opposites. One encompasses weather up to two weeks, the other are long-term trends. Learn science some time and then you might be able to make a coherent argument.

Climategate turned out to be a manufactured story. Investigations cleared scientists of wrongdoing. Looks like YOU need to do some serious homework instead of using outdated false talking points.

Why is the temp going up the most when the technology is the most efficient and regulations are much stricter??

Regulations haven't allowed the burning of fossil fuels to go down in any significant way. Especially when the countries most responsible for them haven't signed significant treaties promising to reduce them.

Technology has improved. Looking at the graph, right around the time WW2 really got going and there was a lot of building the war machines, there was a drop in temperature. Cars back then got, what, 7 MPG? I drive a Civic that gets 30-35 MPG. The past 30 years is the biggest change, according to your graph.

Improvements in technology [Which have traditionally required immense amounts of fossil fuels] has contributed to the steady rise of temperature over the past 120 years. CO2 emissions are much higher now than it was in the 1940s.

[wtf]

ONE volcanic eruption will exceed ALL CO2 emissions that man has created forever

i.e. mount saint helens did more damage than man ever did

gee, we survived
