good article here:]

Ok. I’ve been thinking of buying Archibald’s book.
Guess I’ve been talked into it.
>>>But either way cyclically increasing co2 levels seem to be a natural thing in the environment
Agree, yet to find the scientific community tagging of CO2 owned by humanity versus mother nature.
If you will, it’s not that simple. Rising temperatures can be both a cause and a result of climate warming. Also, it might be a result of increased volcanism. Personally I feel that the key triggers are plate tectonics and most importantly solar output. However the man lesson seems to be that you can’t look at one thing in isolation. I haven’t even mentioned ocean currents and the are influential.
Bump for after coffee.
Chuckles, that and auto spell check.
Ocean currents are actually very important, as you state. The flow or flux of energy is far more important then temperature readings. Especially atmospheric temperatures which represent very minor proportions of the total energy flux. Apes holding thermometers have no clue what they are doing. If there was no water current and all Oceans were stagnant, the equatorial surface layers would be very warm and the deeper and polar regions very cold. Basically a constant El Nino. Solar energy fluxing from ocean surface to atmosphere.
The super continent periods had some really nasty climate conditions due in part to the stagnant currents. When the land masses broke up, there was frequently an explosion of live forms.
Interesting. My guess is there is a connection between solar flux and wind driven ocean currents (pressure differentials). Do not know if UV, solar wind or magnetic field flux though.
Not me. I’ll be skiing my ass off.
