Yesterday it was fake news, today it is fake memories.

Dear Ian McClintock,

You wrote;

“This statement is founded on the hypothesis that carbon dioxide emissions resulting from man’s activities, chiefly from burning fossil fuels, has a significant warming influence on climate”

You will need to let us know what your issue is. Is it accepting that man made emissions are responsible for the increase in atmospheric carbon or that the increase is responsible for the rise in temperatures?

Gawd ! When will some people get to a stage where they can accept that the planet is ever-changing ?
So what humans are adding to global warming/cooling etc. When the plant's had enough it'll let us know in no uncertain terms. Eventually, our stupidity will get its just reward.
Whatever we do now will not ever get us back to a climate that was when we first emerged & stood on two feet. Besides, there aren't enough caves to house us all for a life style the Greens want us to go back to. Stop stressing about, it'll hit sooner than even the mad greens expect.

Peter Lang ... did you read the reference provided by Christopher Robert Scotese. The Abstract and the 3rd paragraph of Part 1 discuss the impact of CO2.

A quote from Peter Lang's reference:

"But Nature may not have its way. Things have changed. We have changed things. The addition of CO2 to the atmosphere during the last 200 years of human industry has amplified this natural warming trend and the average global temperature has risen rapidly. The average global temperature was 12 ̊ C during the Last Glacial Maximum (21,000 years ago). During the following Interglacial period, the average global temperature slowly rose to 13.8 ̊C. Since 1880, it has increased another .6 ̊ degrees to 14.4 ̊C ( as of 2015). This rate of warming is ~50 times faster1 than the rate of warming during the previous 21,000 years."

Investigations a bit further did not provide confidence.

Climate Change is a one way ticket to eternal victimhood just like all the other leftist causes.

- Stick that in your 'psychology' pipe and smoke it.

They think they can steal from me if they can make me feel guilty and frightened.

Is it the feeling that one is the victim of climate change, that gives them the justification to act the way they do?
- Acting like Nazi's against anyone who doesn't agree with them?

(Do progressive's act more Nazi than the Nazi's themselves I wonder... But I digress)

Are progressive's not running around screaming they are the victims of everything?

Are any of their gripes reasonable or are they all over-exaggerated?

It's the idea they're victims which makes them do what they do.

Victimhood pays its dividends in blame and guilt, did anyone see South Park S21E10?

If not you should, its Psychology for dummies, in cartoon form.

Armchair Critic .. so you do not believe in the scientific method. Physics and Chemistry underpin climate science.

Here is a quote from a Abstract of a reference from an article provided by Peter Lang:

"The Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum, approximately 55 million years ago, was a brief period of widespread, extreme climatic warming, that was associated with massive atmospheric greenhouse gas input."

Sluijs, A., Schouten, S., Pagani, M., Woltering, M., and Brinkhuis, W., et al., 2006. Subtropical Arctic Ocean temperatures during the Palaeocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum, Nature, v. 441, pp. 610-613.

My speculation is that Peter Lang derived his reference from a denier site with the initials NT run by a fellow with the initial R for family name. The same site has tried to pass off numerous references in relation to the sun fully influencing climate, where authors of the research have acknowledged anthropogenic climate change. The NT site has an ironic name as it uses trickery, it misconstrues the sciencific papers it quotes to make points consistent with denier viewpoints.
