An interglacial period is not actually a 'forcing' if I understand correctly. There are natural events but the mounting evidence shows temperatures are increasing at a higher rate than what would otherwise be noted during this interglacial period.

I will defer to Tonnington (or L Gilbert) if I am mistaken in this line of reasoning.

That would be a compound mistaken line of reasoning since both the mentioned lifeboats are tethered to lines other than reason.

What planet are you on? Open your phonebook to the green pages and look up where your local TB clinic is.
It (CO2) increased substantially during the last interglacial period too. Fred and Barney did it?
Perhaps the paper products make for less living trees and that is why CO2 is 'on the rise'.
If it hits a certain point plants will (automatically)increase to take advantage of 'the food', Combine that with global cooling and moisture hitting areas that is now desert will see those areas turn green, taking advantage of the CO2 and in return giving us a bit more O2 to breathe making us a bit smarter. If CO2 is on the rise the overall O2 levels are dropping and that would make us a bit more stupid and irrational and angry and all the other things that the body goes through when it thinks somebody is trying to kill it.
A drought would also make for less vegetation and that would show up as a CO2 increase when it is a decrease in what consumes CO2 in the first place. Such as California these last few years. That might even be helping them if rains would be somewhat radioactive because Japan is still an ongoing event.

They are just getting more sun, the reason they chose to live there in the first place. I don't believe they can't creat an accurate climate model of both directions the climate could go. That there is any change is enough to keep the public investing huge amounts of money that is actually leading them down the garden path.

BBC News - UK storms: Hammond says climate change 'clearly a factor'

Mr Hammond said climate change is "clearly happening".

"It is clearly a factor in the weather patterns that we are seeing", he said

"That's why we are investing significant amounts of money in increasing our flood resilience in the UK."

He said although the floods were "a terrible tragedy" for those affected, "hundreds of thousands of properties" had been protected from flooding "by the investment we've made over recent years".

And Mr Hammond is a climate expert, of course.

Yes, the rivers in Southwest Nova Scotia which have poor buffering capacity were damaged, including runs of endangered Atlantic salmon.

It's been forgotten, because of tougher environmental regulation that targeted the industrial emissions that create acid rain. The problem had a solution. :roll:


It was forgotten about in the same way that global warming will soon be forgotten about - because those scaremongerers peddling it suddenly realised that none of their scaremongering predictions came to pass.

"Acid rain experts" in Germany in the Eighties told us that all Germany's conifers would, due to acid rain, be gone by 1990 and the Federal Ministry of the Interior predicted all German forests would be gone by 2002.

That turned out to be as inaccurate a prediction as the one from 2007 when the Warmists told us that all the Arctic ice would be gone by 2013.

Acid rain did not kill forests. It did not even damage them. Scientists eventually admitted that forests thrived in Germany, Scandinavia and North America during the 1980s and 1990s.

In the Seventies we had global COOLING. That scare has now been forgotten (although scientists revealed last year that we are now entering a period of natural global cooling).

In the Eighties and Nineties we had "acid rain". That scare now been forgotten.

This latest scare will go the same way as the previous ones, I can assure you of that.

paper products, or indeed any wood products have nothing to do with the supposed rise in CO2. In most parts of the world anything logged regrows with young growth that uses CO2 and produces O2 while old decadent forests use O2 and omit CO2. The problem arrises for land cleared for human use and covered in concrete.

Links please. Let's see some proof of these 'predictions'.

Well, not knowing exactly what kind of 'predictions' were made- I imagine they were more likely projections- since pollution controls were mandated, of course it didn't happen. However there was damage, and it remains to this day. If you address the source of the pollution and mitigate what you can, why would you expect these 'predictions' to still come true?

You really are daft.

And as for the health of the German forests? You're just making stuff up. You're a liar. Anyone with working fingers can Google this stuff.

The forests were indeed damaged; the Germans and other European nations instituted pollution controls, and to this day, Germany still adds limestone to their forests to neutralize the acid that still exists. Norway introduces limestone at the headwaters of salmon runs to bring the pH up to a tolerable level.

Read for yourself, though I doubt you will:

The attack on acid rain science is the latest. I noticed it in Forbes last week--this idea that acid rain, like AGW, was completely fabricated by "Scientists Bent On a One-World Socialist Muslim-Loving Gummint That Will Take Your Guns Away" cabal. The made the rather ridiculous claim that it was determined that acid rain is natural. According to the National Review acid rain was a hoax.
