Whatever happen to ''global warming''?

[RavenSEAL]

Weren't we supposed to be 10 ft under and overly tan by now?

Darn you and your lies Al Gore!

No, but temps and water are still going up. It hasn't gone anywhere.

Still waiting for the methane clathrates to doom us all:

Global warming is a myth.

It's now renamed climate change, so if it goes up, or down, or goes up or down faster or slower than before, they can say "see, we were right."

 

[nonameo]

we need global warming in the winter and global cooling in the summer.

Preferrably central.

edit: screw the southern hemisphere.

see if you can see a pattern

Actually it's more accepted now than it's ever been. If you look at the consensus in the scientific community anyway.

Unless you fell into a time machine and went back 100 years to Now, then you're expectations of 10' are greatly misplaced. Even then that's just 1 number from a range, so no one is predicting that particular amount in a set period of time.

Still happening, still not being properly addressed.

Obviously industrial society existed 11K years ago but then was destroyed during the "Holocene climate optimum" Because looks like global warming was in full effect.

And ~130K -135K years ago as well.

When is Today in those pics? Like when were those published?

 

[Schadenfroh]

When is Today in those pics?

Present is defined as 1950.

When is Today in those pics? Like when were those published?

The scale is on 1000s of years. They were probably published in the last 100 years.

Care to explain why? As I understand it, we have pretty good geological evidence to support those claims.

He means as disproof of GW.

Here is my canned Global Warming response:

When I was in school, I learned about the impending Ice Age (no, not the movie). My kids will/are learn/ing about the impending Global Warming. I guess my grandkids will learn about the impending Ice Age again.

Reminds me of the line from 1984: "We are at war with Oceana, we have always been at war with Oceana." Except, that we have not always been at war with Oceana, and we have not and will not always be at risk of Global Warming. Wait a few years and we can all fear an Ice Age again.

I do agree that the climate could be shifting. I am just not so sure humans have a lot, if anything, to do with it.

Thanks for the input MotionMan!

On another note, come on folks! This thread needs to be fed, I need to continue to feed crap into my 3000 word essay. FML.

An essay on GW that you can get help from, from ATOT!? WTF is that class?

Our "Philosophy" professor expects us to turn a 250 word article into a 3000 word essay by using "technical" and "scientifically advanced" terms while making sure the general population at hand understands the topic at hand. :thumbsdown:

More annoyingly, the class is far from being about science and society to more about the fucking history of astronomy.

This guy is nuts...

WTF. In Philosophy you should be learning about logic, modes of thought, existentialism etc...

Those were my expectations when I signed up for the class, his syllabus is a fluke.

oh we're screwed in so many other ways it matters not.

Whatever happened to "evolution"?

There is an abundance of evidence available to answer your question. It's not the fault of the scientific community that you can't be bothered to look into it enough.
