Atmospheric carbon dioxide through the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition.
Carbon dioxide forcing alone insufficient to explain Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum warming
Dirt can’t possibly be clean.
Actually, during the hothouse eras of prehistory, CO2 levels were often lower than they were during the pre-industrial era, so this news which is made to sound like it demonstrates global warming, actually does the opposite.
Nature was led like a poodle into AGW by Mann and his scamster cohorts, they’re still in deep.
Plant more trees.
It must mean we need cap and trade legislation to control it, and the initial drop is our curbing energy use and our experiments in carbon credits.
As for Venus and Mars, it must mean the data from the probes must be corrected for these abnormalities in temperature. Oh, and it's forbidden for the general public to look at solar data anymore. It might hurt their eyes, and this regulation is for their protection.
Really? I call BS, because today's CO2 is around 0.038% but the Earth's early atmosphere is largely agreed to have been around 10%.
And look how we didn't turn into Venus.
The scaremongers are still shoveling the Manure.
I thought it hasn’t changed in 160 years?
Hey! This is probably the last craptastic global warming hoax post for 2009!
Were the Chesapeake, Popigai and Toms River major meteor impact events factored into the Eocene/Oligocen transition data? Time around 35 million years ago.
Math is hard.... eliminate 100% of Man (including what we exhale) and nothing changes.
I am so glad that I have fewer and fewer years left before I leave this existence and move on to the next...
Ignorance may be bliss but it sure is hard to watch.
"We've lied about everything so far...but this time, the models are different so we need less CO2 for a catastrophe!"
F.E.T.E., as The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler would say.
Cheers!
...and Happy New Year.
OK, now I have read the second link regarding the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition.
It was definitely immediately subsequent to the major boloid strikes of the 34 to 35 million year ago period. The Chesapeake Meteor and Popigai both left craters 60 miles in diameter, and the Toms River meteor left a crater almost 10 miles in diameter. This was more than enough to cause a nuclear winter type event with the formation of a major Antarctic ice sheet. As to what influence this had on the state of CO2 is not addressed, but since they did not even mention these boloid events in the article it does not make sense to make any major attributions to CO2 and temperature causation.
Now I have read links one and three. Three deals with the 55 million year old thermal maximum, and one mentions both the 34 and 55 million year ago data.
Both articles say that other, perhaps unknown factors also need to be taken into consideration. The third article expresses ignorance of other possible causes of the 55 mya maximum, but seems to me there is a rather strong suggestion that there was a major oceanic methane burp that may have been the culprit. Of course, if there was a huge methane release, what caused that—a huge boloid? We know that 74 thousand years ago Toba volcano had major climate influences.
The sad thing in science is that scientists get so specialized that the atmospheric people do not know what the vulcanolgists know, or the what the boloid trackers know. What can be done to get these people paying attention to each other?

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Or it could be that the two really have nothing to do with each other.
>>>It could take...<<<
Or it could not. *sigh*
The finding raises concern that carbon dioxide levels from fossil fuel burning may, in the near future, be closer to those associated with ancient hothouse climates.
Or it could mean that CO2 has nothing to do with past warming. =he finding of higher temperatures and lower CO2 concentrations is completely at odds with the models.
