lolGlobalWarming?

Really Tristam if you are trying to convince me of something you are doing a really poor job. You can't call my analogy deeply flawed and then use the same analogy. In both examples we are on a collision course for a major change and humans have effected when and how that change happens. IE grabbing the wheel.

Edit: Reading back on the papers you have posted as well as others it seems that there are much shorter time scale fluctuations in temperature that you are seemingly ignoring that are natural fluctuations. The global climate temperature averages have not even reached the levels they were right before the industrial revolution. And even in the midst of this great warming trend there are even smaller fluctuations up and down. I just think that you are oversimplifying the idea of global warming. It does not seem like you care about it on a scientific level in the interest of understanding how our world works you just want to yell out global warming and be done with it.

I'm just speechless now. You couldn't possibly have just offended me more.

edit: and I can addres your "natural fluctuations" but as before, it's just not gonna matter with an idealogue.

How are you offended? I did not say that was your intention I merely stated that is what it seemed like from an outside perspective after reading all your posts and the articles you posted.

Interacting on any level with denialists is always an exercise in futility. Maybe this thread ought to be locked because the "discussion" isn't going anywhere and isn't likely to.

This is just like a religion debate, and, just like in a religion debate, there are no theists arguing.

I wouldn't say that just yet, there are some really important points to be made about how science is done and how climate change is being recorded and analyzed, but I'm obviously not up to the task of dealing with the misconceptions so I agree it's time to drop it.
