The scientific study from the scientists at UCLA "warranted" 'bewildered ignorance'??? LOLOLOL.....you are SUCH a moronic loon.It's all it warranted. so what?Ah...the usual denier cult response of bewildered ignorance....your speciality....yeah right!!!!! what a boob!Because the Earth's climate takes a long time to equilibrate with the higher CO2 levels. The CO2 driven changes don't happen instantly. As the lead author of the study I cited put it: "The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today; and were sustained at those levels"...Well if that is the case, why haven't observed temperatures been that, and why are the ocean levels still the same today.Yeah, I'll get to that as soon as you show me how warm 120 PPM of CO2 is.Good response JC. Clearly indicates your level of comprehension and involvement.
Do YOU have any source supporting Billy Bob's contention that the subject emails were collected in a file to support an FOIA request and were stored on a publicly accessible server? Billy Bob has not received numerous requests for the source of this contention but has yet to post ANYTHING. Does it not strike you as a little odd that such a convoluted claim could be so difficult to find? Does it not strike you as odd that a claim which would undermine the foundations of a major, long-running news story would be so difficult to locate? Does it not strike you as odd how many extreme claims poster Billy Bob has made in short order without providing an iota of supporting evidence?
Already happened many times but you're too ignorant about science and too much in brainwashed denial of reality to either accept or comprehend the information.
Here you go again though.
It appears from the paleoclimate data that an increase of about 120ppm in atmospheric CO2 levels, when sustained at that level for a sufficiently long period of time, results in global temperatures about 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today, and sea levels approximately 75 to 120 feet higher than today.
Last time carbon dioxide levels were this high: 15 million years ago, scientists report

You would have to go back at least 15 million years to find carbon dioxide levels on Earth as high as they are today, a UCLA scientist and colleagues report Oct. 8 in the online edition of the journal Science. "The last time carbon dioxide levels were apparently as high as they are today; and were sustained at those levels; global temperatures were 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than they are today, the sea level was approximately 75 to 120 feet higher than today, there was no permanent sea ice cap in the Arctic and very little ice on Antarctica and Greenland," said the paper's lead author, Aradhna Tripati, a UCLA assistant professor in the department of Earth and space sciences and the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences.
Levels of carbon dioxide have varied only between 180 and 300 parts per million over the last 800,000 years; until recent decades, said Tripati, who is also a member of UCLA's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics. It has been known that modern-day levels of carbon dioxide are unprecedented over the last 800,000 years, but the finding that modern levels have not been reached in the last 15 million years is new.
