It's just the little matter of potentially most of the world population being wiped out and society as we know it being destroyed.

You're pretty fucking arrogant if you think humans are that significant.

Do you accept that we fucked up the ozone layer? A lcear example of a very small percentage of human's overall pollution output having a devastating effect on the atmosphere. You seem to be all for the fingers in the ears approach, assuming you know more about the topic than the vast majority of scientists. Who exactly is the arrogant one?

Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts compiled the results of all the sources. The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year time. For all sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases. The dramatic cooling seen in just 12 months time seems to bear that out. While the data doesn't itself disprove that carbon dioxide is acting to warm the planet, it does demonstrate clearly that more powerful factors are now cooling it.

Let's hope those factors stop fast. Cold is more damaging than heat. The mean temperature of the planet is about 54 degrees. Humans -- and most of the crops and animals we depend on -- prefer a temperature closer to 70.

Historically, the warm periods such as the Medieval Climate Optimum were beneficial for civilization. Corresponding cooling events such as the Little Ice Age, though, were uniformly bad news.

Ive got to say something right now because ive about had enough of this ' Global warming isnt happening shit', i obviously dont want it to happen but it IS happening and if you fucking lived in europe your whole bastard life you would know SOMETHING IS UP, Its getting to warm now for snow fall and we have barely scraped any snow this year...i mean scraped as in its just a little more than ground frost!

So fuck you (I dont care if its from the solar flares or pollution, but the world is definately warming!).

So? Shit happens.

History has shown that humans will shit out gills and go live in the sea before they have a real chance of changing the Earths direction.

Good lord, must I post the 400,000 year climate shift graph again?

climate change happens, you're not going to start it, and you can't stop it.

It isn't doomsday, life on earth has survived gamma bursts, comet impacts, massive climactic shifts, and total atmospheric makeup shifts.  I think it can survive a few degrees...

That is the fourth time you've posted that.

That's the fourth time you've completely ignored the FUCKING SCALE.

Let me give you a piece of information. It's a graph from the same source, so you should lap it up.



Does that look like a 'cycle' to you? Or have you just ignored the fact that the scale on your graph stops at 280ppm and current levels have gone from 280 ppm to near 400 ppm in two centuries?

Realise that an increase of 10 ppm in ten thousand years is natural. A hundred ppm in a hundredth of that time is not. That would be an increase that is ten thousand times greater than normal.

Here's a hint. People aren't talking about the destruction of the fucking world. What people are talking about is seriously economic and social carnage in a century's time.

I still fail to see the logic of 'one person says different thus the whole scientific community is wrong, thus global warming is bullshit, thus we should go on fucking our planet three ways from Sunday'.

Gee, you know, some of us actually want our kids to have a decent life.

It's called being a human.

And because we're humans, we're destroying the planet.
It's called Human Nature.......
