: Wrong again, Garrrrry!

: Global warming is very real. The part we don't know is real is : whether humans are playing any significant role in it, and whether : cutting back on fossil fuel use would make any difference.

: You see, the whole global warming scenario is predicated on a : false premise. The enviro-kooks who rant and rave about global : warming are living under the delusion that the Earth's climate is : a constant except for any changes caused by man. That's just plain : wrong. The Earth's climate is quite variable and often swings : between temperature extremes. The climate has been warming : steadily since the end of the last ice age. The warming started : before humans began burning fossil fuels, and if it follows the : trends of the past, then it is going to get a lot hotter on Earth : in the future, even if we completely stopped burning fossil fuels : today.

Funny how the ice core project shows that there were wild swings in climate
temperature until about 10,000 years ago when it became more stable than anytime previous. . .

Where the fuck do you get that lie from? Where do you get the "more stable than any time previous" bullshit from? The page you reference below doesn't say that. The graph on that page clearly shows the Earth's temperature going up sharply at the end of the last Ice Age 10000 years ago. The data though doesn't even go back beyond the last ice age. Even so, that graph clearly shows that the climate of the Earth is quite unstable *now* and was as much as 5 degrees C warmer than it is now only a few thousand years ago. Going to try to blame that on humans?

Try picking a larger slice of time. Look at previous interglacial periods. Look at the fact that Earth has been warmer than it is today for most of its history. Look at the real cause of the greenhouse effect that keeps Earth from freezing solid, and has done so without human intervention for billions of years.

You can start here:

"The "greenhouse effect" actually is a bit player in global climate (although without it's benefits the average temperature of the Earth would be minus 18� C). Hamans did not cause the greenhouse effect, but critics maintain human additions to atmospheric greenhouse gases may cause global temperatures to rise too much.

Generally understood, but rarely publicized is the fact that 95% of the greenhouse effect is due solely to natural water vapor. Of the remaining 5%, only 0.2% to 0.3% of the greenhouse effect (depending on whose numbers you use) is due to emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases from human sources. If we are in fact in a global warming crisis, even the most aggressive and costly proposals for limiting industrial carbon dioxide emissions would have an undetectable effect on global climate."

something to do with the deep sea transport mechanism
. . .

Well that's nice and vague.

in fact, the temperature had been in a slight decline,

Proof?

but don't let
facts get in the way of your rant,

That's the strategy that works for you, is it?

you can't prove anything on the internet.

Correction: *You* can't prove anything on the internet because you are a total loon who is incapable of citing any material that actually backs up your claims. When you do cite something, you totally misread it.

--- Snip science fiction reference ---

--- Snip terrorist fiction reference ---

Next you'll be parroting that asinine "What would Jesus Drive?" crap. Is there any idiotic band wagon you won't jump on, Garrrrry?
