Greenland glacier recedes 10 miles in 8 years

And yet history shows us that Temperatures do not follow raising CO2 levels, CO2 levels rise following temperature rise. And that is demonstrated by the fact that CO2 has increased every year since 1998 and the Temperature has not.

Go figure.

History doesn't matter because we are doing something that HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

Can't you figure that out???

That is the most idiotic thing you have ever said.

Not really.

Never before in the history of this planet has a species pumped 8 billion tons of CO2 a year into the atmosphere for years at a time.
 
Based on the unremitting heat wave in the center of the nation for the last month or so, looks like another dust bowl event is possible.

Meanwhile we on the East Coast will develop rickets from a lack of vitamin D.

Where is the center of the Nation?...

We just started Warming up in Colorado...

Rickets has been a Concern here for Months also, considering we are over 300 days a year of Sun each year, and it's Resembled Seattle since March...

Finally Julyish and I almost have to start Watering...

Denver is the Desert...

Not the Doomsday we were Promised by algore Junior, Damn it!

No Ice @ the Caps by 2012!... Mark your Calendar...

algore will be Thinking about you on his Private Jet!

:)

peace...

Let's put that number into perspective.
The average CO2 exhaled by all humans in one year is 2,230,000,000 tons, or 2.23 gigatons.

That's 2.23 billion tons a year just in human respiration, one quarter of that 8 billion.
 
Yes, each year we add a small percentage compared to what nature adds. Yet nature also takes out a very large amount of what is added. It removes, throught plant life, absorbtion in the ocean, more than it adds. But not enough more to make up for what we add. And that is how we end up with a 40% increase of CO2 over what that level was 150 years ago. Not only that, that represents a 30% increase over what it has been in at least 650,000 years, possibly in over a million years.


That argument is flawed. The 5% is total, not cumulative.

This chart from the IPCC clearly illustrates that natural CO2 emissions overwhelm natures abilities to absorb the CO2 once every 100,000 year. And they do so in dramatic fashion.

It is equally obvious we had entered one of these periods of stratospheric CO2 emission increase approx. 10,000 years before the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

Damned stupid, Missouri, damned stupid.

how long before you transferred to that Alzheimers facility again?

Missouri, the CO2 level never exceeded 300 ppm during any of the peaks. At present it is near 390 ppm, and rising rapidly.

Revised Theory Suggests Carbon Dioxide Levels Already in Danger Zone

PhysOrg.com) -- If climate disasters are to be averted, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) must be reduced below the levels that already exist today, according to a study published in Open Atmospheric Science Journal by a group of 10 scientists from the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

The authors, who include two Yale scientists, assert that to maintain a planet similar to that on which civilization developed, an optimum CO2 level would be less than 350 ppm — a dramatic change from most previous studies, which suggested a danger level for CO2 is likely to be 450 ppm or higher. Atmospheric CO2 is currently 385 parts per million (ppm) and is increasing by about 2 ppm each year from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and from the burning of forests.

“This work and other recent publications suggest that we have reached CO2 levels that compromise the stability of the polar ice sheets,” said author Mark Pagani, Yale professor of geology and geophysics. “How fast ice sheets and sea level will respond are still poorly understood, but given the potential size of the disaster, I think it’s best not to learn this lesson firsthand.”

The statement is based on improved data on the Earth’s climate history and ongoing observations of change, especially in the polar regions. The authors use evidence of how the Earth responded to past changes of CO2 along with more recent patterns of climate changes to show that atmospheric CO2 has already entered a danger zone.

Never is a long time, especially considering we only have 4 to 6 cycles worth of data.

Saying CO2 levels have never exceeded 300ppm based on 6 cycles is analogous to saying "flood waters will never rise above ____ feet" based on six years of rain cycles
