The climate has always been changing in some manner and to some degree. Right now the evidence says it is getting warmer and the rate of warming - already unprecedented in human history - seems to be accelerating dramatically. The possibility exists that there is a tipping point and that we are approaching it. Your contention that we are headed for an ice age is ignorant gibberish and we should treat it as such...
Crick started off well,
"The climate has always been changing in some manner and to some degree."
Agreed.
But then quickly descends to nonsense.
"Right now the evidence says it is getting warmer and the rate of warming - already unprecedented in human history - seems to be accelerating dramatically."
True it has been warming but the rate of warming is still around the PREVIOUS rate of warming. You say ALREADY UPRECEDENTED IN HUMAN HISTORY is a flat out lie!
I posted this information a few times already showing that previous warming trends before the current one are about the same, according to DR. Jones himself in the BBC interview"
"A - Do you agree that according to the global temperature record used by the IPCC, the rates of global warming from 1860-1880, 1910-1940 and 1975-1998 were identical?
An initial point to make is that in the responses to these questions I've assumed that when you talk about the global temperature record, you mean the record that combines the estimates from land regions with those from the marine regions of the world. CRU produces the land component, with the Met Office Hadley Centre producing the marine component.
Temperature data for the period 1860-1880 are more uncertain, because of sparser coverage, than for later periods in the 20th Century. The 1860-1880 period is also only 21 years in length. As for the two periods 1910-40 and 1975-1998 the warming rates are not statistically significantly different (see numbers below).
I have also included the trend over the period 1975 to 2009, which has a very similar trend to the period 1975-1998.
So, in answer to the question, the warming rates for all 4 periods are similar and not statistically significantly different from each other.
Here are the trends and significances for each period:"
Crick continues,
"The possibility exists that there is a tipping point and that we are approaching it."
Always those undefined tipping points, which previous whines over them never came to pass, which is a good example of pseudoscience.
He ends with a truly ignorant stupid attack,
"Your contention that we are headed for an ice age is ignorant gibberish and we should treat it as such..."
Actually we ARE in an ice age and have been for MILLIONS of years, right now we are near the end of a short interglacial phase.
