A) See?? This peer-reviewed study says temperatures are going up.
B) A degree? Okay, and?
A) It's obviously caused by mankind. CO2 correlates with higher temperatures, according to ice cores.
B) Correlation is not the same as causation. The increased CO2 and increased temps may be occuring at the same times because they are both effects of some other cause.
A) Look at this chart though. It's going up, up, up!
B) According to YOUR chart, it looks like we are now going up right on schedule, as we did 25k, 50k, 75k, 100k, and 125k years ago. Climate change is nothing new, it happened to Egypt, the Vikings in Greenland, during the Roman era in Britain, and during the renaissance in europe.
A) ...
A) but but--this is SCIENCE! researched by SCIENTISTS! Don't you think these smart guys and their peer-reviewed studies took that into consideration??
B) Maybe. Or maybe pushing the panic button gets more grant money than saying "everything's A-Okay!".
Did I miss anything?
