Finally, a REAL, balanced article discussing the global warming "kill switch" Earth has pressed in its past.

Looking forward to additional info from this level-headed site.

Easy, there wern’t any liberals to make up lies about it.

Chicken little scenarios only seem to occur when Democrats are elected, or at least allowed to speak in public. Solution: remove vocal cords and voting rights from all Democrats and all crises will be averted.

Boy, bookmarking this one!

President Fintstone's Yabba Dabba Doo Cap-N-Trade policies is what fixed it.

I have a couple of coworkers who are way convinced about all this AGW silliness. One has friends in Florida who swear they are losing their front yard to the rising ocean. The other made a deal with me that if I would watch a recent episode of Cosmos with that Tyson dude, he’d listen to an hour of Rush.

I watched the show, nothing but pretty CGI stuff as far as I can tell. And 10-year-old suppositions about CO2 levels and heating and other crap. My bud just happened to listen to Limbaugh today when El Rushbo was on a tear about the Cantor race in VA. Where my bud lives! He weren’t too happy about that “Tea Bagger taking over Cantor’s seat” so I just had to laugh.

Kind of wonder what caused the last ice age and then what ended it.

How Did Earth Avoid Runaway Global Warming In The Past?

The Earth didn't have a consensus of scientists claiming, based on fake data, that global warming is a crisis situation that scientists can correct -- through grant money for plans and studies.

1) Heat trapping gasses increase...
2) Earth warms
3) Ocean evaporation increases
4) Precipitation increase cooling Earth and bringing arid desert back into bloom
5) Foliage growth increases consuming more CO2
6) Earth cools
7) Rinse and repeat, as neccessary..

“they say we just got lucky” Well, I don’t believe in luck and God has His hand in every square inch of this planet He created just for us.

I do not understand how rock weathering reduces CO2 but if rock turns to dirt (by the way, the Appalachians are awesome and love the angle of the layers seen from highway construction) then the plants would grow and use up the CO2?

The article fits very well with the likelihood that the rise of the Himalayas together with the Monsoon rain patterns resulted a big carbon sink. The all time low CO2 levels may have been one of a number of factors leading to the ice ages.

Great screenname! LOL!

The article appears to be deeply flawed by disregarding the role of the positioning of the supercontinent astride the tropical belt at the the same time the shallow Tethys Sea promoted increased plant growth, the Devonian and Carboniferous forests developed and dramatically increased the atmospheric concentrations of Oxygen by equally dramatic depletion Carbon dioxide, the increased Oxygen concentrations lowered atmospheric temperatures, and the lowered atmospheric temperatures removed Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and kept it dissolved in the hydrosphere. Similar cycles can be seen every time the Earth’s temperatures have become cold the atmospheric concentrations of Carbon dioxide have dramatically declined.

A little mix of God deriving the function that we discovered as mathematics. The rest is physics.
