In what way is this evidence against man made climate change?
- sillysaurusx 7y agoIntense, world-changing climate change has been with us since long before fossil fuels. This is yet another instance. I am interested in the scientific methodology that rules out such variations and confirms that fossil fuels are in fact responsible. The time period is an obvious one: we seem to be seeing spikes in one century vs millennia. But the details of those spikes matter in comparison to our total historical record; hence the curiosity.

- Numberwang 7y agoYes it is important to look at the total historical record and have a scientific approach. But please look at the information graphed out and not just described as a set of anecdotes. And also take into account how the last centuries very dramatic changes relates to human fossil fuel consumption and changes in agriculture (both of which has an impact on the composition to the atmosphere). The scientific case for human impact is established. It is unfortunate bigger actions to mitigate the consequences will not happen. Whomever is alive in a 100 years time is likely to be born into a much more hostile world.
