    Climate Deniers take note

    Here is an educational video to put Globale Warming deniers back on the right track.

    We don't deny Climate Change.

    We simply question the proportion that is anthropogenic, and hence how much of it we can prevent in future.

      Why does the graph in this video focus several millennia ago to a point in time when the human species were few and far between?

      Why does the video ignore the population of the planet at the present time and how it might cope in a much warmer climate? And with all the weather phenomena that might bring?

        When I was at school they taught us how we'd just got out of a mini ice-age, from about late 1600's. So higher temperatures don't surprise me, and raised CO2 levels would be expected from the warmer oceans since exiting that mini ice-age, given a lag.

        I don't read much too much on the topic, but not one single pro-anthropogenic GW article I've read ever said: "We've just exited a mini ice-age, but this is different because...". It feels like history has been rewritten.

          I might have misunderstood - wasn't the point of the video to show that temps fluctuated wildly, and were higher, back way before human beings could have been responsible?

            I'm not part of the 'who done it group', I'm more 'what are we going to do about it' group.

            Clearly increases in temperature are affecting weather, coupled with a much larger population, we're not IMO going to transition to warmer climes without payment.

              I don't think you'd like George's answer!

                We'll excise me if I've not resigned myself for extinction!

                  Off topic (ish), but I do find that an interesting idea to think about. Of course I personally want to prosper, but do I really care whether the human race lasts 'forever' (whatever that means)? And should I?

                  I'm not sure that I know the answer to either.

                    It matters not, we're insignificant as far as the universe is concerned. In fact the age of man is not a pin prick in the length of time the universe has been in existence.

                    Do we matter? Is life with meaning more than behavioral value? For me 'Meaning' is not a prerequisite of living, but understanding what we could become is everything, I for one would like to be a part of that.
