The dinosaurs had already survived through 165 million years of climate change. If you believe there is evidence that they were dying out prior to the KT impact, why don't you throw a few links up here?

Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia's article on Dinosaurs

Impact event

The asteroid collision theory, which was brought to wide attention in 1980 by Walter Alvarez and colleagues, links the extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous period to a bolide impact approximately 66 million years ago. Alvarez et al. proposed that a sudden increase iniridium levels, recorded around the world in the period's rock stratum, was direct evidence of the impact.[160] The bulk of the evidence now suggests that a bolide 5 to 15 kilometers (3.1 to 9.3 miles) wide hit in the vicinity of the Yucatán Peninsula (in southeastern Mexico), creating the approximately 180 km (110 mi) Chicxulub Crater and triggering the mass extinction.[161][162] Scientists are not certain whether dinosaurs were thriving or declining before the impact event. Some scientists propose that the meteorite caused a long and unnatural drop in Earth's atmospheric temperature, while others claim that it would have instead created an unusual heat wave. The consensus among scientists who support this theory is that the impact caused extinctions both directly (by heat from the meteorite impact) and also indirectly (via a worldwide cooling brought about when matter ejected from the impact crater reflected thermal radiation from the sun). Although the speed of extinction cannot be deduced from the fossil record alone, various models suggest that the extinction was extremely rapid, being down to hours rather than years.[163]

Yes, because the output of the talks is likely to be a global depression if any country is stupid enough to act on it.

You do realize that a catastrophic climate change event could put a bit of a damper on the world economy as well right?

Yeah, and so could Santa Clause if he went on vacation during Christmas.

No such thing as Santa Claus. How old are you?

Ah, so you got the point of my post? Good boy!

What was the point of your post? That there is no such thing as the world economy or a catastrophic climate change event? Either way you pretty much exposed your ignorance because both of those things exist. Dont be so easy to expose next time.

where do they exist? What climate catastrophe have we witnessed in our lifetimes?

 

[jc456]

AGW is a fact Paddie. Denying reality isn't a good life choice.

AGW is pseudoscience criksters, and doesn't exist except in the minds of the modelers. You don't have a climate model so I won't include you. You just have a religious belief in it. And for that I feel sorry for you.

too funny. Criksters at his best on his extinction writings.

JC, why don't you show us where he said "in our lifetimes"?

Old news. In the past some scientists had some doubts, but now they are all thoroughly convinced that an asteroid killed off the dinosaurs. You obviously didn't read any of the links I posted.

You must be a con and not smart enough to understand that not having the talks will produce many more tons of CO2 and will not create a framework where it can be decreased.

So what exactly was done to reduce emissions?

 

[Skull Pilot]

The whole thing was just an international circle jerk

Looks like Asclepias has skittered off. Too bad. I wanted to ask him if he had a problem with aphids.

Emphases mine.

The conference will not be finished for another six days Mr Skull (seven from when you wrote these).

Yeah and so the circle jerk continues

This is nothing but political theater and if you think all these idiots care about "saving the planet" then there truly is no hope for you

 

[Crick]

I can't see myself taking advice on this matter from someone who pays so little attention that they don't even know whether or not the conference is taking place. You appear to be spouting conservative knee-jerk talking points without the slightest bit of personal comprehension.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Yeah the do nothing conference sooooo much is being done that nothing is being reported on the "historic " progress being made

but then again you probably think nonbinding unenforceable global referendums is progress

 

[Crick]

I am quite certain that your opinions concerning anthropogenic global warming are wrong. I believe we (the human race) need to act rapidly and dramatically to reduce our CO2 emissions. You don't.

I therefore consider you, personally, a threat to my children. I hold that view of all deniers.
