Fortunately, there’s absolutely no ancient pathogens locked-away in the permafrost, ready to wreck havoc on modern humans. Probably.
Indeed.
False. All the data available confirms that this global warming is human induced. The excess of CO2 we put into the atmosphere is the direct cause.
We could have stopped it of we had acted moderately 30 years ago. We could have stopped it if we had acted drastically 10 years ago. We can still avoid the worse. But we must act.
The recipes are known: forcefully reduce the CO2 emissions, by investing in renewable energy sources and nuclear energy (both fission and fusion). Reforesting big stretches of land. Protect the existing forests
As seen in countless climate changes throughout recorded history going back thousands of years. All of which would be called man made if they happened these days.
They're often vague, evasive or genuinely uncertain when that question is asked. But the real answer is the $50 trillion green new deal industry.
I count three statements that have a non existent relationship with reality.
I nonetheless gave an answer:
That's simple. Just look up worst droughts etc in history. That's how I learned about the long lasting catastrophic Nile River Valley drought that took place 4000 years ago. I've come across lots of similar examples over the years. Up to recent examples like the Oklahoma Dust Bowl.
A whole long list of significant climate cycles and events that are suddenly now all man made. I don't buy it.
About the Dust Bowl: swing and miss. The Dust Bowl lasted only a few years. So, no enduring change of the climate. A change of climate is seen of a lasting change of the average weather pattern, often taken over 30 years. The Dust Bowl doesn't apply.
What don't you buy?
I don't buy that climate changes are now man made. I made that pretty clear the first time around.
That you don't buy it is indeed clear. Now, I would like to know why you think so.
You're just making me repeat myself. It's what I already said. I've heard all you're saying by several people in many threads over the last 10 years or more. And after all that repeated info, my conclusion is what I've already stated. I don't buy into most of it.
So, what is causing this steep spike in the average global surface temperature in the last 2-300 years?
You haven't said it to me. And believe me, I would have remembered the gem that your about to produce, i.e. this:
You can not cite one single scientific paper or even a pop science article that claims that the surface of cities and industry causes a global warming. And spare yourself the effort to link to articles about heat islands or heat domes. I am very well aware about these. These are local phenomenons. I may hope that you understand the difference between local and global.
The people who have looked into the data and the mechanisms of climate have found different. Youre just some guy with a hunch. I know whos conclusions I should favor.
I realize you only acknowledge your own opinion as the source of all truth, but the evidence says otherwise.
Nope, you're making stuff up ha ha.
No, conclusions decide what the evidence says.
