Then enjoy your vacation in the Arctic tundra you think was made for us to survive in. Don't bother to bring any coats, that's human technology right there, you'll survive in the nude in an environment catering to your survival. Don't bother with rations either, the native wildlife will cook itself for you as you get hungry. Because, you know, our planet is designed for us.
When I was in college in 1977-1978, all I heard about ... justified scientifically ... was:
1.) Scientists predicted in 2000 that kids would grow up without snow.
The sea levels rising is not about the ice currently in the oceans melting, its about the overwhelming majority of ice which is actually on land. If that disappeared then yes sea levels would rise. But its also the fact that global warming accelerates exponentially with polar ice melts as light/heat is reflected by ice and obviously that effect would be eliminated if the ice melted. Thirdly as global warming increases, weather patterns become more extreme again adding to the effects of sea levels surging and effecting low level land masses.
The Daily Caller is not a science source, its a political source lacking any credibility whatsoever in any science.
Who, the retired NOAA employee that whose comments were misrepresented by The DailyMail (UK Tabloid) and spread like wild fire throughout the climate change denial community. The scientist himself in a later interview made it clear that there was no data tampering.
Al Gore did get some things wrong, Al Gore is a politician, not a climate scientist.
It sure is, funded by the fossil fuel industry and the political right.
True. As often real science is labeled as quackery in an effort to not have to deal with it. Galelio was once labeled as a quack too. Kristian Birkelands theory was ridiculed for 40 years and he was labeled as a quack, until they actually sent a probe and discovered he was correct and everyone else was wrong. so in the case of Kristian Birkeland, who were the real quacks? 99% of the scientific community which labeled him as a quack and ended up being wrong, or the one man that ended up being right?
So, according to Milankovitch Cycles, as shown in the Vostok graph by WUWT, how do they explain the current warming, especially when we are currently on the down-turn of the cycle and should be headed back into a glacial period?Even I don't deny climate change, just the political and unscientific claim that man caused it.
All one needs do is look at the ice core data and they will find that global warming started 25,000 years ago and has occurred about every 125,000 years followed by a sharp downward cold spell.
No, there is no denying that global warming started 25,000 years ago and we are at the top of the spike. But the question is why supporters of man made global warming refuse to accept the scientific data that this happens every 125,000 years and is followed by a downward plunge.... and man will have had nothing to do with either of them. Just as man had nothing to do with the same repeating pattern every 125,000 years.
So, according to Milankovitch Cycles, as shown in the Vostok graph by WUWT, how do they explain the current warming, especially when we are currently on the down-turn of the cycle and should be headed back into a glacial period?
I believe the below graph answers that question.

The graph you previously posted was showing Milankovitch Cycles. The cycles have three different constituents; Earth's eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession of its orbit. What they affect is the amount of solar radiation received by the sun. Thus, there are cycles that cause the earth to warm and cycles to cause the earth to cool. The initial warming is due to the cycle. As the earth warms, glaciation melts releasing CO2 and CH4. As more ice melts more greenhouse gases are released which help accelerate the warming. Additional warming causes more ice to melt and so on. This process takes thousands of years and even in this natural process, the CO2 level still only tops out at 280 ppmv, which is what we had at the beginning of the industrial revolution. The current Milankovitch Cycle is now in a cooling trend, yet we are warming at a rate much faster than any of those cycles in the warming trend have ever shown in the Vostok ice cores.
CO2 is not an insulator. CO2 constantly absorbs IR radiation and re-emits it continuously.
