More inconvenient facts getting in the way of liberal global whining. :)

Gee, revisionist history strikes quickly. This morning it was 10,000 years. By tomorrow, it'll have started in 1981.

[11th Earl of Mar]

In other words, if we reduce auto emissions to the same level as 8000 years ago, it still won't help.

[Izzy Dunne]

The prehistoric practices apparently overrode a buildup of ice that models predict should have occurred beginning 5,000 years ago.

I don't suppose anybody thought that maybe the model is wrong?

[Lucky Dog]

Isn't this story just the cow fart theory revisited and updated?

[ancient_geezer]

Measurements of ancient air bubbles trapped in Antarctic ice offered evidence that humans have been changing the global climate since thousands of years before the industrial revolution.

Beginning 8,000 years ago, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide began to rise as humans started clearing forests, planting crops and raising livestock, a scientist said Tuesday. Methane levels started increasing 3,000 years later.

 

8000 years?? LOL, The Vostok ice cores show that CO2 has always increased after increasing temperature. Mainly from release from solution from oceans, increase in biomass (animals & decaying/burning vegetation, etc.)

More inconvenient facts getting in the way of liberal global whining.

These are all "facts," but the many scientific articles demonstrating climate change is all hooey? Politics and science make strange bedfellows. This article doesn't disprove anything about the current level of climate change.

Man should never have invented fire. Then all the trees would never die.

[Mr. Mojo]

You mean global warming isn't just the fault of rich, white, straight men from the Industrial Age?

[sasportas]

Less than a million people 8,000 years ago causing global warming in ludicrous. In light of the recent solar activity I am more inclined to vote the sun. It seems more reasonable that the sun itself could be the cause.

Others have studied the ice too:

SUN IN FRENZY SINCE 1940
"German scientists who have created a 1,000-year-record of sunspots said Wednesday they discovered the Sun has been in a frenzy since 1940 and this may be a factor in global warming...
The research, based on the quantities of the isotope beryllium 10 found in ice bores from Greenland and the Antarctic, challenges the belief that carbon dioxide from cars and coal fires and other greenhouse gases are the only cause of recent warmer climates."

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA Wednesday, December 10, 2003 -- Scientists were speechless today when a Klondike SUV has uncovered in a glacier core-dated to 6,000 B.C.E. ...

[looscnnn]

Um, what about all the animals that were around then? I didn't know that our ancestors were more efficient at clearing trees than we are, considering that we have more people. They would have had to clear a heck of a lot of trees to cause that.

[Question_Assumptions]

And just before this period, we have sheets of ice a mile thick covering all of North America. OK. I think I get it. The environweenies won't be happy until we are back in another ice age again. (This, by the way, was a plot element in a science fiction novel called Fallen Angels that dares to suggest that human activity might actually be keeping us out of the next ice aga.)

Who was this guy, and did he change his underwear, too?

[richardtavor]

Thank G-d we're not on Mercury or Venus, where natural forces change the climate (besides that, just a little to warm for my taste!)

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP - It amazes me that the world has such a limited view of God, the Creator, and His ability to sustain the earth in a condition that is liveable. You may disagree, and that's fine, but those of us who believe He created the heavens and the earth, also believe that He sustains it.

Amazing the difference a Biblical/Christian Worldview can have on one's perspective.
