I didn't know that I had to define an Ice Age. We all know about the last Ice Age, the people at Lascouix (boy that's challenging spelling attempt) enhabited that place off and on for 4,000 years; painted on the walls, etc.. The ice came as far south as South Texas. (I'm being called and must go. I'll reel back in later.) | |

An Ice Age lasts a long time. I think around 1.5 million years. I have not been able to find good data on the longevity of the last few Ice Ages. As we warm, the ice recedes, things green up, the deserts grow larger and after some period of time we have some short cool summers and the entire process repeats itself. The "little Ice Age" is what historians use to describe the colder climate in the 18th and 19th Centuries. The exceptionally cold winter at Valley Forge, the years of frozen weather during the 1880's, even the frigid 1944/45 winter in Europe. But as everyone knows the temperature of the Earth is in constant flux, but trends can be measured. We have been in a generally warm and constantly temperate period for the past 10,000 years. But when you consider the length of the last Ice Age and how recently it ended it's reasonable to assume that we are warming and will continue to do so for some time. This temperate climate has allowed mankind to grow to what we have become. With a new Ice Age most of us will probably die, but just as in the last time, some men would likely survive. They'd probably have to relearn how to make stone tools. | |

| Liberated thinker Location: New Mexican Alps Posts: 2,187 | Revealing video GloriousCause! It's the truth that Pooey has been ignoring. We just don't know enough about climate variability yet and there are all sorts of influences Pooey I don't like to criticize but isn't this a bit much? Quote:
When I point out that actual measurements in this decade indicate the warming trend has slowed, you reluctantly admit the change is caused not by human activity but by ocean currents which routinely affect climate change. And you question the source (NASA) suggesting that any reference to this is not peer reviewed, scientifically accurate, etc, Incredibly we are told that the actual measurements don't compare with IPCC generated projections and models and therefor can't be correct? When its pointed out that climate change correlates with CO2 you and sonart, overlook the fact that CO2 increases and decreases follow global temp changes, rather than preceding them. Sonart posts graphs and the reads them upside down or generalizes off points that aren't factual?.could it just be when the ocean warms it releases a greater amount of its CO2? After all the greates portion of our planet is ocean. sonart even post a graph showing a gradual warming trend since the last Ice Age and then says ... Quote:

Biological pump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You are drifting ever farther away from reality as you frantically try to patch up your arguments? You repost sonarts graph of temperature changes over th past 10,000 years (which show a gradual global warming since the last Ice Age)for no apparent reason?

Oooops... ...Libertarian. --"As a libertarian, Stossel believes in both personal freedom and the free market. He frequently uses television airtime to advance these views and challenge viewers' distrust of free market capitalism and economic competition. He told The Oregonian, on 26 October 1994: "I started out by viewing the marketplace as a cruel place, where you need intervention by government and lawyers to protect people. But after watching the regulators work, I have come to believe that markets are magical and the best protectors of the consumer. It is my job to explain the beauties of the free market." "-- Quote:
--"Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and their colleagues have produced the first clear evidence of human-produced warming in the world's oceans, a finding they say removes much of the uncertainty associated with debates about global warming. In a new study conducted with colleagues at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI),Tim Barnett and David Pierce of Scripps Institution used a combination of computer models and real-world "observed" data to capture signals of the penetration of greenhouse gas-influenced warming in the oceans. The authors make the case that their results clearly indicate that the warming is produced anthropogenically, or by human activities."-- Quote:
What's the old saying? Even a total idiot is right twice a day. ![]() It's one of the many "positive feedback loops" that is causing global warming to accelerate. Humans add CO2 to the atmosphere, causing it to warm, which warms the oceans. Warming, in turn, causes the oceans to absorb less CO2, thus warming the atmosphere even more. Oceans don't release CO2, they, along with plants, absorb it. The oceans are carbon sinks. Southern Ocean already losing ability to absorb CO2 --"Global warming has caused the Southern Ocean to become windier, churning up the waters so that they are unable to absorb CO2 at the rate we produce it, the researchers say."-- Fun, huh. This is on top of that other notorious feedback loop; water vapor is the most abundant effective of all greenhouse gases. Global warming creates more water vapor, which creates more warming, which creates more... You get the picture. What kills me is not that Xyzer is simply wrong about everything he utters, but that he's so smug about it. . I don't suffer from insanity... I thoroughly enjoy it | |||

| Liberated thinker Location: New Mexican Alps Posts: 2,187 | No Pooey I don't see what you are driving at unless you are admitting that a natural climate influence is working both ways to affect climate? Thats what we have been talking about there is a variability and it is(and has been) caused by natural rather than one Factor(CO2) Here is a very good summation by a scientific entity and as I understand it signed off by some 19,000 scientists. Oregon Scientifiic Instutitute is the source Don't be put off by the fumbling introduction. Wait for the main speaker and you will see what I've been talking about...Discovery Institute Incidentally you will note at the beneficial effects of greater ppm of CO2? All this crap about rapid warming and rising ocean levels is just that, crap! By the way sonart this is not some crackpot group either..I thought you'd like the charts. Quote:

influence of the oceans carbon sink from the suns rays? That show that CO2 increases precede climate warming? Evidence that most of the recent climate trends are not minimal overall..(less/more than one degree change per 100 years)? Refute the suns increasing and decreasing brilliance and its direct influence on its planets? Direct proof(by satellite measurement)that the earths warming cycle has not diminished, leveled in the current decade? You are really a great graph presenter but unfortunately you interpret the graphs wrong..purely to substantiate outlandish claims. You even claim one indicates it hasn't been gradually getting warmer since the last ICE AGE? Over the last year or so you(and Pooey) have never answered why if human produced CO2 is a major influencer in the climate warming trend of the past century it has cooled during several decades even though humans have been increasing their carbon use? Pooey keeps saying he has answered that? But he hasn't. He has merely referred to general IPCC and Gorelike conclusions? He obviously can't answer it directly because he doesn't? But he then reluctantly admits that oceans currents(La Nina @ El Nino) have an overriding effect? He posts scientists opinions and theories as scientific truth just because they appear on a scientifically named internet site? Spews nonsense about human activity and directly countering the obvious influence of the sun, ocean and other natural factors. Ignores the less than 1% of the earths CO2 in its atmospheric gas content? Plus humans small fraction of that 1%? He paints the earth as in stasis with humans the only influence of climate because they are spilling increasing amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere? You post a bunch of charts and graphs that don't relate to the question. And even interpret them incorrectly, yet you don't answer the question or even show us where in the references your so called evidence is found? You don't even know the definition of ICE Age because you indicate its been getting cooler since the ice age? Both you guys/girls are paper tigers floundering around in a cauldron of confusion. You keep bring ing up the refrain we humans are directly resoponsible for climate change and have to do something about it? I would like to refer to you as Gore believers. Gore the prominent scientist who along with a political panel(IPCC) has started the wild rumors that are currently scaring politicians and dunderheads alike? Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirit |
