moray... yep.. I noticed that you like to "save time" in your posts by not really saying anything.
nothing but... you are a scientist and we are not... you read articles that are correct and we don't.. that anyone who disagrees doesn't have the right degrees...
Do you have a degree in climate? did you know that more than 90% of the signatories on the UN document do not have any degree in the field of climate science? Why should I listen to them?
19,000 scientists with advanced degrees think the math does not add up... the leftie scientists are not even allowing debate. They, like you, say... well... we can't give you numbers and we can't predict next week or nest year and... we are wrong about just about everything we have predicted so far but... you just have to trust us... it is really bad and gonna get so bad that only we can save you.
How can our contribution to greenhouse gas of which 99.72% is natural, not man made... how can our tiny bit of contribution be causing the planet to heat?
how can any amount of reduction of our contribution make any difference? 30% of nothing is nothing.
How is algore burning up 2500 bucks a month in oil and then paying someone to plant trees half a world away gonna help?
Why is it that only when it becomes obvious that the sun has a lot more to do with the heating of the planet 25-50% by even the most rabid co2 is king scientists... why is it that only when people nail em to the wall do they hastily put out some articles to say it is nothing and that just now studies are starting?
Just now starting to study the frigging sun? You work in the ocean.. how much do you know about the expanding ocean floor and el nino and la nina?
Not much.. because.. because no one does.. we do know that it radicaly changes climate tho... maybe we should take some of the co2 modelers off their fat butts and get em into looking at that.
The "deniers" have always said that the numbers don't add up.. that natural causes have to be the lions share of any climate change with man not capable of more than about a 1% or so part in any change. 1% of one degree or so in 100 years... all else being equal. that would mean that nature co operated and stayed dormant. the models are based on all warming in the last 100 years being only because of co2 rise.... not 25-50% of it being the sun or the rest being shifts in the planet of one kind or another.
They have assigned a weight to co2 that it can't have.
meanwhile... it has been a very mild winter here with less than normal rain and the temps for this summer have been some of the mildest on record.
