Global Warming?

[EE_Bota]

This long running discussion proves, once again, that the denialists will not believe in agw until both ice caps are gone and they are treading water.

Fact. Natural causes have warmed and cooled the planet over the ages.

Fact. We are in an interglacial period.

Fact. The current warming is proceeding far faster than any records show for the past and is accelerating.

Conclusion (mine) - something more than nature is at work..

I have never denied anything on the issue. I think what I said amounts to an logical question about a claim being made here. I don't understand your behavior. You address the long running discussion by quoting me, yet my question was much more specific.

Not a fact!
Michael Mann conveniently left this off his hockey stick graph, but the Medieval Warming was much greater and more rapid to onset than today's event.

What the h3ll are you rambling about now? Can you draw me a map of the ski resorts in Johannesburg? That's the picture I posted, the first snow there in 5 years. If the weather and climate were continually getting warmer, and if you all consider it fair to point to every heat wave as evidence of AGW, as stupid as that makes one appear, then the once in 5 year snow is certainly a fair argument in reverse of that. Your implication that someone may not know that it gets cold in the mountains is just another prime example of left wing, highly misplaced, arrogance. But it's cool, arrogance prevents action.

By the way, this info was on the same page of the Washington post, so another for all these record highs this year that exceed all other years everywhere.

Average: 36
100-degree days in 2012

Yea..... thanks for setting the NON ARROGANCE example. And just what kind of action does arrogance prevent?

 

[toppop52]

Arrogance prevents all action. You should certainly understand what that means.

It's a paper so it's dry but good stuff. Non-hockey stick graphs. LOL

That is some good info, but the greenies are only happy if the sky is falling, so they run around like Chicken Little.
