Beware the oil company-funded naysayers

[Bar Sinister]

Since my entire working life has been spent in science and engineering, you have broken my heart;-)

Our climate has been steadily warming since we came out of the ice age 18,000 years ago.

During that time there have been at least 2 periods when the climate was warmer than today.

These were the Holocene and the MWO (Medieval warming optimum 800A.D-1300A.D). Both were more than a couple of centuries long the latter resulting in the colonization of Greenland (which had become really green!). BTW Suzuki originally tried to erase the MWO out of existence. Ditto Mann of Penn State -he of the laughable hockey stick rubbish.

Dishonesty like that and many others should give anyone reason to question things.

In the late 1700's we experienced the Maunder Minimum aka. Little Ice Age. The Thames froze over, they had fairs on the Ice etc. In revolutionary U.S, Washington had cannons slid across the Potomac!

Try that today!

Both the cool and warm periods were pre-industrial.

Climate changes and there is nothing unusual happening today except for the increased population living on flood plains & covering natural drainage areas with concrete.

The last 20 years have experienced NO warming, a fact which no supercomputer model ever predicted.

The IPCC which has been the gold standard 'go to' for all alarmists has been consistently wrong for decades,recently admitted that climate is too complex to be predicted! Maybe their grant money ran outout?

CO2 levels have been both higher during glacial periods, and lower during warmer periods. Look it up.

The largest GHG is water vapour which accounts for 95-98% of global warming (otherwise we wouldnt exist).

The remaining 2% breaks down thus. 1.8% volcanoes,geysers, forest fires etc. The 0.2% seems to be anthropogenic but is too small to be accurately accounted for.

Kyoto & Paris Accord were unworkable in that implementation would have destroyed society (which admittedly some nutters favour).

Kyoto in Canada could have only been accomplished by shutting off all trains and autos or grounding all planes & fossil fuel plants.

Paris Accord is similar which is why no nations are actually going to follow it.

People who believe, or profess to believe this straw man can IMO be placed in three categories.

First, the majority who believe damn near anything on TV. In the case of CAGW an abysmal lack of basic science education is also to blame.

Next, the scientists, bureaucrats, who see funding and increased taxes as a wonderful career path.

BTW, yes indeed scentists csn be just as dishonest as any other group when it comes to surviving.

Media also delight in exaggeration and sometimes outright lies (if it bleeds,it leads).

Last the Marxists, anarchists and other lunatics who are against everything in the West.
They are a small group but they are noisy and prone to violence.

That is a long reply filled with a considerable amount of disinformation. Just one question - What do you think would happen based on your knowledge of science if the amount of CO2 in the was increased by 60% 0r more?

About the same as would happen if the O2 content went up 60%. Now there is something you should worry about.

There is not one item of disinformation in my post.

The increase in CO2 levels is already slowing but we could take an additional few percent with no trouble at all.

The increase so far has caused no untoward warming,and a near 30% increase in plant growth world wide (including CROPS.

Take your medieval Luddite rubbish and get an eddy cashun.

My favourite bullshit line: "The Rainforests are the lungs of the planet".

Who knew in 2007 when this thread started it would really be grain crops in North America as discovered in 2015?

Sorry, your reply wasn't quite stupid enough. Try again.

I love your complete lack of evidence. It makes you so easy to beat, along with CM and his cohorts. But I am afraid that simple assertion does not work with me, especially when it contains silly references to Marxists.
