1 Degree rise in C equals a 1.8 degrees rise in F
Finally, something we agree on.
1.8 degree rise F over 135 years is a big nothingburger!
I wouldn't blindly extrapolate the past 135 years to the next 100 years.
Nobody is blindly extrapolating. The real trend didn't kick in in a big way until about 40 years ago. The different models vary the degree to which future increases of carbon in the atmosphere cause further temperature increases. Even if you believe that it's only correlation (so far) and that causation (from carbon) is very much unproven, you can not intelligently argue against the risk. How high would the probability need to be that carbon in the atmosphere is the cause, and how high would the probability that the projections are accurate need to be, in order for you to agree the risk is high enough that mankind should try to agree to move together at a reasonable pace towards clean forms of energy ?
There's really nothing for sane people to be arguing here, given what climate scientists are telling us.
The World Glacier Monitoring Service
Which Libbie organization funds them??
(Oh, I found it on their site:
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
Ahhh, the same people who published the IPCC report.... Hmmmmm...)
This is your well thought out highly organized well documented response showing that glaciers are actually not retreating? Well in all fairness it's probably the best you can do.
Really?? Why did you post this chart?
There is a large difference between blindly extrapolating and using data to model behavior and then using the model to predict the future.
well lets see..
120 years of samples over 4.543,000,000 years of countless earth temperature cycles.
A sampling time span of 0.000002641% since the earth's been around.
Damn...must be time to shit donuts and tax the rich...
Humans are an adaptable species.
Why do you hate evolution?
he different models vary the degree to which future increases of carbon in the atmosphere cause further temperature increases.
