WTF?

I had hoped that the "it's the volcanoes" myth had been put to bed years ago but it seems that the desperate still cling to it the hope of appearing to understand science when in fact all it shows is delusion and ignorance.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration fossil fuels emissions numbers are about 100 times bigger than even the maximum estimated volcanic CO2 fluxes.

Counter claims that volcanoes, especially submarine volcanoes, produce vastly greater amounts of CO2 than these estimates are not supported by any papers published by the scientists who study the subject.

Does Terry Ryan realise how far Tonga is rom Alice Springs? It should be obvious that the unusually heavy rain in central Australia two days after a volcanic eruption way out in the Pacific is nothing more than coincidence.

>These awful people can't even tell us why the 3% of CO2 emitted by humans is worse than the 97% occurring naturally

Seriously? You STILL don't know! Let me enlighten you::

The 97% is gross. Nature's contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels is net zero in the long term and net negative in the short term.
The 3% is net - we're putting CO2 into the atmosphere but failing to take it out again. Once we reach net zero, the problem will be far less serious. But it will continue to be a problem for a long time afterwards, as human activity has already increased the atmospheric CO2 concentration by 50%.

BTW just because an energy source was the cheapest and most reliable decades ago doesn't mean it still is.

WTF?
Morse,
I see you have mentioned Ian Plimer.

That fact that Plimer's views are not supported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the United States Geological Survey, the United States Environmental Protection Agency nor the American Geophysical Union would suggest that his opinions are very much outside of current scientific research.

Plimer is ,however, an outspoken critic of creationism which is a good thing and that would indicate that there is room for his scientific understanding to shift in the future.

I'll stick with qualified people who know what they are talking about, not carpet-baggers and anonymous drongo posters who get all their information from Google.

Terry if we ever had any climate scientists they have long been cowered into silence by the overwhelming force of the global warming agenda.

What we have today is academic hacks who are happy to sell their soul for a new grant, & a few idiots who actually believe the scam.

Like.

A volcano walks into a bar and the barmaid says

"Whoa! You're huge. Why the big eruption?"
