This is called an economic recovery. Not the phony recovery that went on for years under Obama.
Trump did in less than a 100 days, what Obama could not do in 8 years.
Thank You President Trump. America loves you.

People have answered you thoughtfully.

No one has answered my question.

I'd attempt to answer it, but you'll need to be more specific, otherwise it's impossible to give an answer. You do understand that The Earth is a big place, and different regions, have different climates. Depending on the time of year, each hemisphere gets different exposure to the sun. Also, as The Earth spins and rotates around The Sun, certain parts experience night which means it's dark. This lack of Sun exposure usually mean that it is less hot at night, and more hot when the globe rotates and then they face the sun, and the temperature warms. You seem ignorant to many of these simple facts, when you ask a question like "what is the ideal temperature for human life on Earth".

When I'm on holiday nearer the Equator, I prefer a different ideal temperature, then when vacationing in the north.

Ironman, did you find the line on your historical CO2 and temp graph where Humanity first shows up?

Happy to help draw it for you if you like. :)

I suspect those "climate scientists" are hedge-fund rejects. I doubt they can even survive in the sell-side.

We should stop listening to people with no skin in the game.

Of course not! What do they have to lose if they end up being wrong?

Don't say reputation and legacy. These things ain't worth nothing.

So, thanks for proving our point, AGAIN. So, you marked that humans entered the picture roughly 2 million years ago, right?

So what caused the increased heat and CO2 before then??

Ironman says

Dinosaurs riding around in SUV's??

There are non-man made sources of CO2, right?
Would you like to claim that those conditions circled are ideal for human life?

Goddamned Flintstone people!

What have the temps and CO2 levels been like for those 2 million years? What is CO2 and temp trending at now? What ARE the scientific desired targets for CO2 in ppm?

(hint: If it was me, call me crazy, I'd try and make the purple bar be flat down at the level it was throughout most of human history ... as THAT is the ideal CO2 level.)

82859   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:35pm  

Ironman says

Hater, is that you???

It's 350 ppm. That gets us the "optimistic" line on the XKCD graphic.

Are you done yet promoting that FAKE narrative?

2nd to last refuge of the defeated. Name calling is next.

have been historically much higher without humans even being around

Right. But could those Earth conditions even support human life?

82862   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:41pm  

Ironman says

Want to try again?

You are talking about levels of CO2 that hinder respiration. (laughing my ass off) You have no idea the meaning of what you are posting.

Are you arguing that CO2 levels are completely devoid from a correlation in temperature rise because of the historical previous graphic? :) LOL

MASSIVE BRAWL

They're just acting the way they do in the 'hood.

82864   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:46pm

Who knows, humans weren't around then.

Oh, Science knows. The atmosphere for most of that was completely unbreathable.

82865   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:48pm  

Ironman says

So, CO2 ppm levels (chemical makeup) inside are different than CO2 ppm levels outside?? Can plants tell the difference inside or outside?

Does CO2 change in form from inside to outside?

You are saying respiration and gaseous exchange is the same as trapping heat radiation?
We aren't talking breathing, we are talking heat energy in the planetary engine, driving weather.

82866   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:49pm  

Ironman says

So, since the science is settled NOW, are we there yet?

We have moved past it, by a degree and at-leats 50ppm.

82867   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:58pm  

Ironman says

Let me know when it gets pass 1500 ppm

At that level no human will be able to do any strenuous activity. A brisk walk up a hill will cause you to pass out.
Further, the long term climate trend would be to temperatures that wouldn't sustain most life on the planet. A new dominant species would rise. Humanity would end.

82868   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 3:59pm

Why are you alarmists always manipulating graphs?

Because skeptics cannot read them to begin with.

82869   Peter P   2017 Apr 25, 4:04pm  

Hater says

Just like polls, graphs and statistics are there to influence, not to inform.

Alarmists will manipulate graphs because they are definitely trying to influence.

So you're saying we should stop listening to those of you that don't have children? Or even elderly people that will be dead soon?

It doesn't take a climate scientist, or even some lowly hedge fund turd, to understand that polluting the environment has adverse effects. What do you have against people who desire to protect the environment so that it can be enjoyed into the future?

Pollution is bad. But what is pollution?

Why is CO2 considered a pollutant? Without those crappy climate models the whole CO2 argument falls apart.

Yes, global temperature is rising. So what?

82873   Peter P   2017 Apr 25, 4:24pm

Nothing! Pollution and overpopulation are the problems to be solved!

The beauty is that IF those climate models are right "climate change" might solve overpopulation. See, we don't need to do anything.

So tell me in the following graph, which temperature is inhabitable in your area?

Average temperature is the thing we are measuring. Think of it as net total energy in the system. We will still be living with 2-4 degree average temp rise. There will just be some major climate and life impacting changes for billions of people.

82878   Rew   2017 Apr 25, 5:08pm  

Hater says

Just to confirm, you think the ideal temp is one degree cooler and the ideal CO2 ppm is 350?

I think that because the majority of the scientific world thinks that. Yes. We are at 400ppm, and growing by 2ppm per year, due to human fossil fuel use.

Peter P says

The beauty is that IF those climate models are right "climate change" might solve overpopulation.

Mass deaths due to climate extremes is beautiful?

We have the collective capacity as human to ensure an amazing lifestyle to the majority of the planet. We don't have the will to do it. Current social constructs don't work that way.

I propose a global one-child policy. In particular, each person is allotted the credit to have half a child. Such reproduction credits can be traded freely. Those who want to have many children can buy more credits from the open market. Those who do not want kids can sell their credits.

OK, so if it's average temperatures that matter, and a 2 - 4 degree rise will be catastrophic to humans, please explain this phenomena

Over the past 10,000+ years the average temperature has fluctuated about 1 degree or less. That small fluctuation is the difference between "fire and ice".

How much heat does it take to boil a cup of water? How much does it take to boil an ocean of water? Do you understand the amount of energy 1 degree is in a huge system like our climate?

With 2 to 4 degrees of warming the Earth experiences massive shifts in weather, catastrophic storms, mega droughts, the coastlines are forever changed, mass migrations and climate refugees occur, and then there is the disruptions to food chains. Crops that survive will experience yields drops of over 10%. An estimated 25% of plant species will lose in excess of half their current habitat coverage. Water stress for the US alone will affect 1.5 billion people or greater. It's Mad Max time.

Each day our great president is doing something to make our country great again. And, all the fake "antifa" news outlets can do is spread traitorous lies about his approval ratings, how he hasn't lived up to his campaign promises, how he let his supporters down, etc... For the record, all the patriots I spoke to are thrilled to have Trump as President. Just look at the economy in the past 4 months. Thank God for Trump. All of Hillary's supporters are mob rule, communist, terrorist, traitors. That pig would never have had this kind of recovery in this short period of time, if ever. Go trump. Build that wall. Next, he needs to sign an executive order getting rid of all Latin anchor babies. USA!
