Mr O, it appears you are suffering from climate change hysteria.

If you are interested in a possible cure, you could start with Lehr and Harris’ OLO posting, ‘Mathematical modelling illusions’, https://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=20114

the first 4 paras of which are reproduced below:

“For the past three decades, human-caused global warming alarmists have tried to frighten the public with stories of doom and gloom. They tell us that the end of the world as we know it is nigh as a result of carbon dioxide emitted into the air by the burning of fossil fuels.

They are exercising precisely what journalist H. L. Mencken, the sage of Baltimore, described early in the past century: "the whole point of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be lead to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

The human-caused climate change scare may well be the best hobgoblin ever conceived. It has half the world clamoring to be led to safety from a threat for which there is not a shred of meaningful physical evidence. Many of the statements issued to support these fear-mongering claims are presented in the U.S. Fourth National Climate Assessment, a 1,656-page report released in late November. But none of their claims have any basis in real world observations.

What they do have are mathematical equations considered to be models of the Earth's climate. It is important to properly understand these models since they are the only basis for the climate scare.”

Raycom,

I am an environmental sociologist and my views are formed from my research into what scientists and scholars have to say.

ALTRAV,

I have never said that you AGW/CC denialists do not believe that the planet is getting warmer.

What I have said is that you denialists refuse to admit the truth of the concept or proposition that is supported by the majority of scientific or historical evidence that the burning of fossil fuels over the past 240 years is the cause of the global warming that is producing the climate change as we know it in our era.

You denialists put the blame on things like sunspots, volcanic eruptions and Milankovitch cycles because you know we have no control over these forces, with the intention of making people think it is useless to reduce or even eliminate the burning of fossil fuels.

Mr O the only thing you said of worth and correctness is your last paragraph, especially the bit about "it is useless to reduce or even eliminate the burning of fossil fuels".
If you are even half as smart as you think you are, you have come across enough evidence to bury you, telling us that we have done NOTHING to the planet.
It's variable just like it has been for millennia.
So stop finding articles written by crack-pots like yourself, just to try to impress.
We're NOT impressed.

Mr.O, Don't waste your time arguing with this mob, they are not worth your time, or mine either.

VKAU33, 'et tu', what is the matter with you lot.
We are pretty sure the planet is going through a warming phase.
It is pretty conclusive that we are too insignificant to have done anything of consequence towards this accusation.
CO2 is a good gas, we don't know how it will affect the earth in terms of or relative to the amounts, but over-all it's a good gas, and for many years we have needed more of it to help re-vegetate otherwise baron lands that centuries ago were green and had plentiful vegetation.
The part we have been conned with is tying the climate change to fossil fuels.
A complete and utter mis-leading comment, and of course un-informed plebs like yourselves took it in hook line and sinker.
Get your head around it, it's A CON.
Just take a look at these for starters.

It's worth a look if you are serious about the truth.
