Ping!!!!
Someone left the freezer door open a crack.....
This slice of the climate dynamic is actually rather simple. The temperature warms and then - roughly 800 years later - the CO2 rises.
Bush's Fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
““I don’t want anyone to leave thinking that this is evidence that CO2 doesn’t affect climate,” Stott cautioned. “It does, but the important point is that CO2 is not the beginning and end of climate change.””
This isn’t anything particularly revolutionary - other particulates like methane, Milankovitch cycles and continental plate movement have all played roles in ice age models.
Unlike other conservatives here, I do believe that man-made carbon output is accelerating climate change. An increased greenhouse effect and a change in the Gulf Stream could very well bring an early-onset ice age. Of course, I’m open to all interpretations and scientific criticism. That’s the way science works. I just hate it when people dismiss man’s effect on climate with prima facia B.S..
Which begs the question--where did the ENERGY come from?? There are only two sources of energy available---radioactive decay from isotopes (which, since they are a constantly decreasing fraction of the earth's mass, cannot contribute), and the sun. We already have evidence to account for changes in the photonic contribution of solar output to the prehistoric geological record (various isotopes from the solar wind)--so exactly how is this extra energy "coupled" into the earth from the sun???
My own thought is that there is an electromagnetic effect related the the sun's magnetic field. In current time, we have measurements showing that the sun's magnetic field has DOUBLED in historic time. How does that doubling effect the earth?? We KNOW from the laws of physics that ANY conductor moving in a magnetic field generates an electric current flow. The earth has LOTS of conductive systems (magma, the oceans--to pick what are probably the two largest), so there MUST be increased ohmic heating happening. How big is it?? Could THAT be the "missing link" in understanding what drives ice ages??
Lots of questions, but, thus far, I've been able to find ZERO answers. As far as I've been able to find out, this question has never been raised in the context of "global warming" so-called "science".

At first read, I don’t see this as very happy news - if CO2 accelerates and amplifies warming that starts from other causes we may have to cut CO2 even if the current warming was not largely caused by Co2.
I think the overall news is bad even there is a political advantage.
PING !
Uh, oh. Algore kinda looks like an idiot at this point - no?
