Thanks for including this in your posting.
Were you the one who served the kool-aid to Al Gore?
Since you are the all-knowing scientist, I guess you have no problem with discounting the opinions of the scientists who doubt that man is causing the earth to warm.
You are welcome...The argument that man understands all the dynamics of climate, not to mention claiming a direct cause and effect between CO2 and tmeperature is crazy. Three years ago we were deluged with Al Gore claiming hurricanes were increasing and more powerful because of GW, and this year in the Atlantic basin figures to be a near record in terms of number of days with active hurricanes. Last year was low by historic standards as well.......you might want to read.......The Cold Truth about Greenland........http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=8285..........where scientists who disagree with the ‘Branch Algorians’...........Data from the United States’ National Climactic Data Center show that temperatures in Greenland for the last decade are hardly unusual when compared to temperatures for the last 100 years. The period from 1915 through 1965 — an entire half–century — was about two degrees warmer than it is today.
..........further they state...........
In 2000, Glen MacDonald and several coauthors published an eye–opening perspective on the climate history of the Eurasian arctic in the highly respected journal Quaternary Research (”quaternary” is the era of recent ice ages, beginning about 1.8 million years ago) in which they examined radiocarbon dates of old trees deposited in the tundra, far north of today’s northernmost trees. In that region, the tree line is generally over 100 miles south of the Arctic Ocean. But for much of the era from 3,000 to 9,000 years ago, the forest extended right to the sea.
Summer temperatures — the same ones that melt Greenland’s ice — are what determine the Northern treeline. MacDonald had to conclude that “Over much of northern Eurasia [during that period], summers may have been 4.5 to 12.6°F warmer than today.”
Moreover, they wrote that the only way this could occur was if there was a massive incursion of warm (Gulf Stream) water into the Arctic Ocean. How does such water get there? By passing between Greenland and Europe. It’s the only way.
So Greenland had to have been much warmer than it is now for six millennia. Again, where are the records of unprecedented rises in sea level? There aren’t any, because there wasn’t any. Sea levels rose to roughly where they are today.
