The unchecked use of fossil fuels will produce a climate not seen since the Triassic period about 200 million years ago, researchers warn in a new report.
The culprit for this unprecedented warming is atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), suggest researchers led by the University of Southampton in the UK, which by the year 2250 could reach levels equivalent to those of the age of reptiles, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
In their research, the researchers admit that CO2 levels are much lower now than they have been at other, hotter points in the earths history, yet they warn that levels are rising rapidly.
During hotter periods in the planets history, the concentration of CO2 has climbed as high as 3,000 parts per million (ppm), whereas in 2016, the concentration was only 400 ppm.

I am so thankful that my sons are not climatologists. How embarrassing.
Stegosaurs (four legged, large fins on back ridge, spiked tail) was from the Jurassic; Triceratops (four legged, one horn above each eye, horn above nose, neck frill) was from the Cretaceous; Ankylosaurus (four legged, clubbed tail, bony armor like a turtle on back) was IIRC late Jurassic / early Cretaceous...
Do you mind if your trilobite is free-range or farm raised? The later are available at Amazon on special request.
“Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”
Yada yada. A fetid ball of meh.
One of Bill Klinton’s 1000 scientists was a barber. Makes you wonder.
There is some predictability. Have you seen any of the work by Piers Corbyn? Check out weatheraction.com. His long term prediction successes are pretty impressive, and the rationale behind them are solid.
With enough garlic and hot sauce it doesn’t matter!
Good.
There were no damned liberals then.
So let’s do it.
Women, minorities disproportionately impacted, experts say.
“Better evacuate New York City and Los Angeles right now!”.....On second thought............. Shelter in place sounds like an awesome plan. ;-)
For all these Snowflakes, so-called Scientists, move to Phoenix or Yuma and live there, (try To, live your tender backsides there), for two AZ summers.
If I remember correctly, the CO2 measurement site for the world is in Hawaii.
Look at the wind patterns coming from China across the Pacific to Hawaii.
Think the dramatic growth of China, fueled by dirty coal plants, might have something to do with this?
Just sayin’...
March 20 MV Blue Puttes stuck in ice... 40 passengers stranded
April 4th, 2017 MV Highlanders stuck in ice... 209 passengers stranded.
And there are bound to be some happy humpback whales... April 3rd, 2017 Humpback whale dies after becoming stuck in ice off Newfoundland.
Triassic was neat, Dino’s. Let’s go for it.
Good, I miss the Triassic.
I would advise you to start making plans now.
