climate question

Quote from euclid:

Saw a climate scientist on the telly giving some data from ice cores. He said:

The highest pre-industrial CO2 levels measured in 750,000 years of ice cores is 290ppm. When coming out of the last 8 ice ages, it took 1000 years for CO2 to rise 30ppm. CO2 now is 382ppm, it rose 30ppm in the last 17 years.

Good that just means my coke's will go flat slower.
 
Quote from dsq:

ignorance is bliss for an idiot...the truth hurts so bury your head and pray to your fictitious deity and all will be better.

:D Look in the mirror buddy I'm not the one that cries myself to sleep at night and wets the bed dreaming co2 is going to end life on earth.
 
Quote from Optional:

Someone told me that the ice cores showed either CO2 level increases that used to take hundreds of thousands of years and showed that they were occuring now in only hundreds of years. Something like that. How that proves anytthing I'm not sure but if anyone knows what I'm babbling about please full in the blanks.

Here is the graph for you to see first hand. Draw your own conclusions from it.

They do a lot of ice core work at Vostok Station. Check it out.

That graph is backwards, doesn't measure temperature, and has a variety of different axis and axis labels.

What a mess!

Some people will never get it.
 
India, which ranks fifth in the world in carbon dioxide emissions, pledged last week to slow the growth of its emissions significantly over the next decade.

"We are a country in a mess, but I think we have the financial technical and technological means to climb out of this mess. And there is a sliver of hope that we will," said Bittu Sahgal, editor of Sanctuary Asia, an environmental magazine.

The country faces a host of hurdles: powerful state governments that often clash with the central government, a deeply entrenched bureaucracy and little history of conservation.

Sitting near the Yamuna's bank, Mohan Lal, 61, said he's seen personal attitudes to the environment changing and has himself grown more concerned about littering.

"Slowly and steadily, people are realizing these things have to be taken care of," he said.

Then he took a long sip from his tea, swung his arm and threw the plastic cup into the brush.


That just about sums it up. U.S. is expected to do it all while the rest go along business as usual.

Who's Mohan Lal?
 
Quote from Ricter:

I still maintain that the scientist hid the decline out of a cynical belief that the public would interpret a dip as the end of the trend.

So you admit they manipulated data intentionally?

The public and other scientist can decide for themselves thanks.
