If these things are true, they can't just be brushed aside because they're uncomfortable for devotees of the climate-panic narrative. Rather derogatory that "devotees of the climate-panic narrative". Is anyone here such a devotee? And speaking of "brushing aside", I get the impression that these, very recent, huge increases of CO2 emissions are brushed aside -- see here https://theconversation.com/the-three-minute-story-of-800-000-years-of-climate-change-with-a-sting-in-the-tail-73368 As they say about previous fluctuations: "But things are very different this time around. .. The speed at which CO₂ is rising has no comparison in the recorded past. The fastest natural shifts out of ice ages saw CO₂ levels increase by around 35 parts per million (ppm) in 1,000 years. It might be hard to believe, but humans have emitted the equivalent amount in just the last 17 years." That's almost 60 times faster than the fastest measured natural increase. Regarding the the long - and ultimately disaster-threatening - descent of ambient CO2, the scale on the blue line graph is vast (if true) -- with the extrapolated line hitting zero at a point possibly 10 million years away. Not exactly something that would keep me awake at night! |
