Is your ability to comprehend what you read really that low? Do you really think idiotic verbal tricks like that fool anybody but your fellow denier cult dingbats? No, dumbass, we have actually witnessed a temperature increase of about 1.4° F in a little over a century, not 0.7° F in 2000 years. Are you really that ignorant or are you a paid troll here to spread misinformation, lies and bullshit?Just to re-cap, then:So, CO2 levels only went up by 70% during the PETM but the average world temperatures went up 13° F and we've already raised CO2 levels by about 40% over per-industrial levels and we're still pumping about 30 billion tons more fossil carbon into the air every year. But you denier cult nutjobs tell us that there's no real problem and we certainly shouldn't upset the oil and coal industry gravy trains for the sake of the environment or the survival of future generations as well as the Earth's biosphere. You'd be funny if this situation wasn't so tragic.
You assert that during the PETM CO2 rose by 70% and caused a 13 degree temperature increase.
You further assert that we are currently at a 40% increase in CO2 and yet we have witnessed a temperature increase of about 0.7 degrees C in 2000 years.
"Measurements show a global temperature increase of 1.4 °F (0.78 °C) between the years 1900 and 2005."
LOL. As if you ever"think" before spouting some idiotic nonsense like this.You imply that the PETM is the blueprint for the present and that we may expect a similar increase in temperatures.
When might we expect the other 6.3 degrees C of increase to occur?
If it is impolite of me to ask you to think, I apologize.
You really must have a major comprehension problem, code4BS. You're responding to some quotes from an article that I posted so you must have seen this even if you couldn't understand it. Try again, numbnuts. I'll even highlight the part you missed.
"In addition to rapidly rising levels of atmospheric carbon, global surface temperatures rose dramatically during the PETM. Average temperatures worldwide rose by about 7 degrees Celsius -- about 13 degrees Fahrenheit -- in the relatively short geological span of about 10,000 years."
It took ten thousand years for that 13° F temperature increase to occur during the PETM and our anthropogenic CO2 surge only started in the 19th century and only really got going in the latter part of the 20th century but you think the temperature increase this time should have been happening even faster than it has been. LOL. Mankind's carbon emissions are driving these changes far faster than natural forces ever have but it is still not instantaneous. It took ten thousand years for a 13° F rise in temperature then but we've managed to achieve about a degree and a half rise in only 105 years but you imagine that since it wasn't even faster, it must not be real. LOL. You are such a confused loon.
My father always told me that profanity is how the uneducated express themselves.
The warming trend that we currently enjoy started between about 1550 to 1650. Due to the sudden drop of temperatures during the Little Ice Age which was caused by the Sun, not terrestrial factors, the recovery to more normal temperatures seems like a rise in temperatures.
The actual baseline, though, is not the downward valley of the LIA, it is the gradual rise continuing for the previous 3000 years.
The net increase in world climate between the years 1000 and 2000 was less than the increase between the years 0 and 1000. We are cooler today than we were 8000 years ago and your cherry picking is less evidence of any natural occurrence than it is of your own limited understanding of the history of the climate.
It could be an intentional effort to deceive, but that is only known in your heart.
The Industrial Revolution started in about 1780 with the spreading use of the coal fired steam engine.
Is the impact of CO2 that you cite so strong that it can cause the temperature to rise before the additional and offending CO2 was even present?
What other examples can you present of the future causing the past?
