They were all established science when:That is silly.
Tree rings, ice cores, etc. are all well established science.
But the fact we have increased CO2 in the atmosphere by 40%, and that CO2 causes heat retention, is all just pure fact.
1.They were predicting Global Cooling.
2. They predicted we would have Katrina-like Hurricanes in the Gulf every year after Katrina.
3. They predicted the polar Ice Caps would melt by 2013.
1. Of course it should be into global cooling now.
The ice age cycle is about 100,000 years, and it should be into the cooling cycle now according to tree rings and ice cores.
It likely WOULD be cooling if we have not increased CO2 by over 40%.
That is the reason why the rising temperatures are so scary, it is not supposed to be rising but cooling.
So then the rise in temperature is even greater than what we are measuring.
2. No one predicted Katrina like hurricanes. What they said is that global warming mean more energy, which should mean more frequent and stronger storms. There have been more frequent and stronger storms. But much of the storms have lately been up near the Arctic circle, and not the Caribbean. The greater energy had caused more mixing of hot and cold, so we are not experiencing it as dramatically, but it is still much more extreme in that the Arctic is 13 degrees warmer than normal.
3. The Arctic ice cap did melt in 2007 and every year after that.
It likely WOULD be cooling if we have not increased CO2 by over 40%.
That is the reason why the rising temperatures are so scary, it is not supposed to be rising but cooling.
Not's not scary, that's good news.
A new Ice Age would kill billions.
