Comme ci, comme ca ping.

Regarding AGW, I’d think you could make of this what you will.

That Alaskan oil that we are not allowed to drill... how did it get there? File that question under the heading, “Things that make you go, ‘Hmmmm?’”

This 'modern-looking' pattern suggests that those ancient carbon dioxide levels could not have been as high as previously thought, but were more modest, at about five times current levels (they would have had to be somewhat higher than today's, because the sun in those far-off times shone less brightly).

"These ancient, but modern-looking oceans emphasise the stability of Earth's atmosphere and climate through deep time – and show the current man-made rise in greenhouse gas levels to be an even more striking phenomenon than was thought," the researchers conclude.

Conclude? This is not a conclusion; it is a complete non-sequitur inserted for the purpose of securing funding or ensuring publication. In reality, the findings seem to reassure that large variations in CO2 are innocuous, non-anthropogenic, and not in the least unusual.

...climate belts...

Isn't that what the Wookie-Michelle wears?

[calex59]

Another blatant attempt(totally ignoring established scientific fact)to establish global warming as fact and as a modern phenomenon. Total BS.

These losers say, gosh, the climate was thought to have differed because of [sic] greenhouse gases [/sic] and we have reconstructed the CO2 levels via proxy data, and determined that there *couldn't* have been significant differences between then and today. Another triumph of the conclusions muddled by the original assumptions -- among which is the idea that glaciation is brought on by uniformitarian changes. It isn't. :')

show that these ancient climate belts were surprisingly like those of the present... "The world of the ancient past had been thought by scientists to differ from ours in many respects, including having carbon dioxide levels much higher -- over twenty times as high -- than those of the present. However, it is very hard to deduce carbon dioxide levels with any accuracy from such ancient rocks, and it was known that there was a paradox, for the late Ordovician was known to include a brief, intense glaciation -- something difficult to envisage in a world with high levels of greenhouse gases." ...fossils called chitinozoans -- probably the egg-cases of extinct planktonic animals... revealed the position of ancient climate belts... changed... in a pattern very similar to that which happened in oceans much more recently, as they adjusted to the glacial and interglacial phases of our current (and ongoing) Ice Age. This 'modern-looking' pattern suggests that those ancient carbon dioxide levels could not have been as high as previously thought, but were more modest, at about five times current levels...

The real key to these findings of much higher earlier carbon dioxide levels is not the climate but the other fear-mongering that the anti-CO2 people are engaged in, since they know they temperature fear-mongering isn’t working, such as claiming that the oceans will acidify and kill all sea life.

So if I understadn this correctly, the earth was once much warmer than it is now at a time before man made his appearance?

Egads! We are obviously responsible for the earth being much cooler than it should be. We need to drive our SUVs more to get us back to earth’s normal, warmer, temperature.

(or did George W. Bush go back in time to generate all that excess CO2? Amazing that they’ve never found a trace of coal fired power plants or SUVs from back in those days.)
