An ice core and fossil analysis is data incorporated for the purposes of making reasonable extrapolations, assumptiojs, postulates and axioms for the model.
It is not a snapshot in the past, because the dating method has error, and you are still extrapolating data from time-dependent data for which your location is not t=ti, the incident time interval.
You can model it, but it won't be accurate. It is at best an approximation.
And how is the dating method so flawed as to throw everything out of the window? Empty claims make for boring debates.
Furthermore, chemistry doesn't change over time, and there are working models that show that high CO2 in an atmosphere traps heat and warms the area.
Swine flu was not an end of the world apocalyptic event - which is why YOU and I knew about it in the first place.
Your argument against end of the world events getting spoken about is how people would panic. However, why would it even matter if people panic when everyone is about to die or a large portion of people will? What is to actually be gained in not warning people and giving them the opportunity to prepare? Yet, when I compare this line of thinking to an event that WON'T end the world or kill tons of people, such as H1N1, that type of hiding would make MORE sense, not less sense, since people are prone to blowing relatively minor events out of proportion. Seriously, it was just another variant of the flu, but the media sensationalized people into panicking more about it.
No government is going to warn their citizens about an end kf the world, or end of a civilizatiln event until you are on the precipice of the event. That is simply because government would fail the minute people figure out there is absolutely nothing that can be done to prevent demise.
Those are not EOTWAWKI situations. No government wi warn their people of an EOTWAWKI situation with more than a month to spare.
How about the time that there was a huge asteroid that got a little too close for comfort to Earth? My bad, it's happened more than once, google search and you'll find at least 4 near misses or collisions of large asteroids with our planet. I also recall an especially large one getting dangerously close in the 1990s, and here is a fairly recent one:

By the way, the atrocious number of spelling errors in your posts make for a slower read. I know this website underlines spelling errors in red, so take the time to make corrections.
The fact that you think you can loom ahead at anything is the reason why you know in the first place. Panic destroys entire governments; there is no way any earth government is going to give people a heads up on an EOTWAWKI situation so they can degenerate for decades. Never.
Which is one reason why I said AGW is not an EOTWAWKI situation for at least 150 more years.
Ha, people only panic at immediate things, like I said. If the world was going to end tomorrow, and you didn't tell people, it'd hardly matter if you told people or not, since we were all going to die anyways. However, hiding an asteroid that was headed for Earth and would destroy it in 5 years helps NO ONE. It reduces the chances of someone finding a solution the fewer people there are that know about it. Furthermore, EVERY government in the world would have to agree on a course of action, and the secret could never be leaked... governments just aren't that good at keeping secrets. You overestimate the competence of governments by a lot.
Humans cannot "prevent" the entire planet. If it is going to have a periodic or final ELE, it will do so.
Perhaps, it depends on how much time we have to react to it. If we only have a few days, probably not much we could do. But once you get into years, that raises the possibility of preventing the end of the world before it happens, depending on the cause.
The problem with AGW is the connection between global capital and scientific theory.
I'm not sure what you even mean by this.
We could NEVER spend our way out an earth dynamical system - but many people beloieve we can.
Oh, no doubt.
Yes they do - I have been in the same situation in academia.
And, compartmentalization keeps everything on a leveled need to know basis. So, it isn't about millions of scientists hiding a conspiracy so much as it is many scientists have no idea what their work is actually for - unless explicitly stated in a contract for finding.
Three people can keep a secret, if two of them are dead. People really aren't good at hiding things, and there is only so much progress a scientific effort can make with the majority of people having no idea why they are doing anything.
Then, you stk don't know what your intellectual property wi. E used for. It isn't the "scientists" that are the problem: it is academia, and academics playing politics. Scientists are people, too.[/QUOTE]
Exactly, they are people. Flawed people that are just as prone to panic and be rash as you and I, just as flawed as you and I. This is why a large group of people could never hide the world ending for very long. Thus, unless the world was going to end in 3 days and there was absolutely nothing we could do, I see no reason for any group to try to hide it, nor do I think their chances of success would be very good. Furthermore, if it was a localized event, the native government would have the MOST motivation to let it be known, such as to evacuate or quarantine as much as they can. Staying put and doing nothing is the only way for a government to GUARANTEE its destruction.
