Dose an increase in Co2 lead to higher global temperatures?

Re: Troll a Liberal
Of course it does. The question is whether or not the small percent of CO2 on earth that is produced by humans is a significant factor towards global warming, or is the earth just going through another climate cycle regardless of what we puny humans do...

I think it is funny how people form opinions on things that they will never verify to be true. Many "scientific" tests nowadays are very biased by their funding. I think cutting down on pollution should be more of a health concern than a global warming concern.

Re: Troll a Liberal
CO2 is a greenhouse gas and is known to raise the temperature on earth. The evidence for this is well understood. The earth also goes through different cycles such as ice ages, etc. of course we aren't in an ice age right now so it would make sense for temperatures on earth to be rising since then.
I don't think anyone in their right mind would disagree that cutting down on pollution is a good thing to do (just look at China, shit even LA is filthy). I do think that anyone who has to scare people into stopping pollution is fighting an uphill battle.

Re: Troll a Liberal
Anyone that thinks humans aren't affecting the earth vastly under-estimates humanity.
We built nuclear bombs, which would have drastically changed our environment if we had kept setting them off.
Now we are building giant industrial processes instead. Less damaging to humanity, but still very much affecting our environment.
Humanity is incredibly powerful, for good or for ill.

Re: Troll a Liberal
I think the correlation is... an increase in global temperature causes and increase in C02 levels.. I think that has been proven.

ok so no response ... i win?

Yes, yes, yes, and we're all going to die. Except for the Llustrious Order of Lluminated Llamas and our followers. Because we have a plan. Join up, pay your dues, and you can survive the coming apocalypse. The rumors that all humans will be chipped and reprogrammed have not and can not be proven. I wouldn't worry about that one bit!

Do I think humans aren't capable of affecting the earth? No I do not. In the context of anthropogenic CO2 affecting global warming on a global scale... it remains unproven as any scientist will tell you.dustin wrote:Anyone that thinks humans aren't affecting the earth vastly under-estimates humanity.

Re: Troll a Liberal
I am a scientist (Bachelor of Science degree) and from my review of the scientific literature, the scientific consensus is that human activity is having a large affect that is changing our climate.Dangerous Beans wrote:Do I think humans aren't capable of affecting the earth?

This thread is titled "troll a liberal" so I guess that's what you're doing, and I won't take the debate (or lack thereof) too seriously. But the science is pretty clear: we are fucking up our ecosystem.

Re: Troll a Liberal
Not sure what your degree is in Dustin, so I apologize if it is related to environmental science. I have taken classes and talked to several professors at Scripps (which maintains the Keeling Curve) who would agree CO2 and temperature levels have a correlation, but that are other factors as well, which don't allow us to accurately say to what degree CO2 affects temperature levels.
Secondly, anyone can take a set of data and manipulate it into a graph that supports their theory. I know I have been involved in other threads about this topic to a greater extent so I will leave this 'trolling session' of my own will before I get defenestrated.
To AR:
e·gre·gious
əˈɡrējəs/
adjective
1.
outstandingly bad; shocking.
"egregious abuses of copyright"
synonyms: shocking, appalling, terrible, awful, horrendous, frightful, atrocious, abominable, abhorrent, outrageous; More
2.
archaic
remarkably good.
(I will assume you are using the second definition of the word, considering you are almost as old as a dinosaur yourself hehehe.)

I guess it's all a matter of which chart you choose to use...AquaRegia wrote:Borderline? It's egregious.
SOURCE: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carbo ... imate.html
Fossil records show there once significantly higher CO2 in the atmosphere than there is now, before humans, yet the world didn't burn up.
(I'd much rather the "Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change/whatever new term they invent next" discussion turn into how to end pollution and clean up the mess that we have, but that doesn't fit into their control technocracy.)

Re: Troll a Liberal
I am going to help Drifter with more relevant data because I love him (and it may further discussion). Here is a human scale graph and a few interesting facts about CO2...
The nagging long term CO2 picture showing the last 800,000 years rather than hundreds of millions. This is what concerns people:
But let's remember that CO2 is measured in parts per milllion - not a large component of the atmosphere:
And that the CO2 and temp curve doesn't correlate well to the burning of fossil fuels during the 1800s-1900s:
Do we really have a CO2 problem or is there much more to the story?

Re: Troll a Liberal
its funny that even today with many many surface temperature stations, many scientist don't believe we have the tools necessary to read the "average" temperature of today's earth... how scientist get accurate readings from 10,000 years ago and 100,000 years ago is highly questionable

Here is a quick explanation how temperature is calculated from ice core data:camaro wrote:its funny that even today with many many surface temperature stations, many scientist don't believe we have the tools necessary to read the "average" temperature of today's earth... how scientist get accurate readings from 10,000 years ago and 100,000 years ago is highly questionable

CO2 follows a similar path as temperature in the data, but does it lead or cause it? That was your initial question in the poll.

Re: Troll a Liberal
The average fifth grader could see from the chart that it is still a rising trend... which is why Cruz doesn't actually show the data.camaro wrote:Cruz vs Sasquatch

So, Camaro, are you proposing that all data should be disregarded rather than addressing your original CO2 question?
Re: Troll a Liberal
Both satellites and surface temperature readings, however, showed prolonged periods without statistically significant warming trends — 15 years for surface temperatures and more than 18 years for satellites.
I Don't get it... a global warming summit in an era where there is statistically no warming at all
The only increase comes when "scientists" adjust the raw data ...
Not believing that the earth is cooking up on us would also help to explain why the arctic sea ice has reached a new maximum

when i tweak the raw data a little i suddenly become the greatest luxer that ever lived
