I don’t know about the anthropogentic part, but I think it is pretty clearly accepted even by most skeptics that atmospheric CO2 has risen significantly in the past 100 years. I am not sure how expertise in Chemical Thermodynamics provides the expertise for his claims. Yes, climate changes, and in the 65 years I have been observing it, I would say that on the east coast of the US it has gotten warmer, especially in winter.

Yea, like this winter for instance. It was terribly warm and probably one of the mildest winters on record in the North East.

I’m sure glad that in 1914, they had the forsight to make detailed CO2 emissions readings in the upper atmosphere.

That’s why it’s so easy to speak with authority what has happened over the last 100 years when talking to the unwashed masses.

You are ill educated. Chemical thermodynamics is exactly what takes place in the atmosphere....

And for you to think that this winter was warmer in the eastern US suggests that you didn’t go outside very much.

There is NO correlation between CO2 levels and weather patterns.....hence there can be NO causation

[bramps]

You’re on a different east coast than I am. Almost May and it still feels like winter.

[dadfly]

wrong.

and it’s “anthropogenic” (human caused global warming that is their theory and claim).

for the last decade (after the hoaxed data or “hockey stick” data is taken out), temps have actually fallen slightly or remained flat (depending on the source) while the claim is that global CO2 data has risen ever so slightly.

thus, there is no correlation (let alone causation) of any kind between average global temp and CO2, supported by any stream of unhoaxed climate data. in fact, there are loads of data to the contrary going back to the middle ages. that is what is known in science as a complete falsification of global warming theory.

Oh hell yeah.

We're just dyin up here. (snowed yesterday)

And you are...??

Aside from membership in the troll class of '05, your credentials are...??

And how do you account for the hundreds of periods of warming (and cooling) in the last 12,000 years?

I guess our experiences are different, but I’m only 56. I live in NC and the winters in NC have been about the same, some warm, some not. This last winter was pretty brutal.

Yeah. It's not like he has a Ph.D in something relevant to global warming like Political Science or something.
