  1. “look at that fast increase in the last few hundred years, it’s deadly!”
    “What I see is that it was the coldest in 500 million years until a little warmth is coming back in. We’re still way colder than the average.”
    “SCIENCE DENIER!!!”

  2. Global warming/climate change/climate emergency (what’s next climate Armageddon?)
    Is the number one most successful lie of all humanity. It is not mere junk science, it’s never been scientific, it is an instrument of massive fraud and systematic destruction of the middle class on a planetary scale.
    If I had one proposal for Trump it would be to have a televised inquiry with only reputable scientists from all over the world…no Gore or Greta’s.
    Expose the lie, free the world that matters.
    Western civilization will never go back to normalcy until then.

      1. Metalguru,
        Did you nail that, or what?!
        Pray that it is exposed and maybe, just maybe, enough sheep will get red pilled to get mad and reclaim their surrendered aspirations to remain, or attain, a middle class status.

    1. Metalguru has nailed it !!! Anthropogenic Climate Change has always been—-“The Big Lie! “

  3. That they claim the granularity to make the unprecedented rate claim in 485,000,000 year reconstruction tells anyone with a hint of objectivity that this is pure activism without science in any form.

  4. But what happened to the ice-ages??? The scale compression on the time axis seems to have made them disappear, except for maybe the most recent one. If we are to believe the graph, we ought to be covered by hundreds of feet of ice, as far south as northern California and perhaps Virginia.

    1. That is curious. I agree that there’s nothing unusual about the last 150 years, but the lack of obvious points for the ice ages means, what? Greenland and the UK weren’t significantly cooler during those times?

  5. Yawn. Any attentive observer has for years been aware of the Climate Scam. Now go home and figure out how to pay the massive utility bill driven by “free” solar and wind power.

  6. I have archived these threads to show how [in 2024!] a major achievement in Climate Science can, somehow, be proclaimed as yet one more proof that Climate Science is a hoax:
    Of course Jordan Peterson chimes in with HIS truth.

    From the Post article, referencing a large temperature spike on the chart:
    The largest mass extinction happened 250 million years ago, when gases from volcanic eruptions – including CO2 –
    raised Earth’s temperature by more than 18ºF (10ºC) in the span of about 50,000 years.
    HOWEVER
    the global average surface temperature has warmed by approximately 1.09 °C in the last 50 years.

    The temperature has been slowly going down for the past 50 million years, owning to India’s collision
    with Asia having reversed the long term trends. But the reversal has been reversed, and at
    10 000 times the speed

    1. yeah, dizzy, whatever,
      so who was tracking that data 250 million years ago?
      oh, and now the temp has been going down for the last 50 million due to (relatively) newly accepted plate theory?
      Tell that to the south Indians who continue to swelter in large, humid heat.
      At least the Himalayas are groaning upwards while we all posit our ignorant shite.
      Oh, and I heard that the planet is spinning faster now than it did a billion years ago, and it’s more wobbly to boot.
      Some guy called Zog, or Archimedes said so.
      Mystery abides. Vote accordingly. It still won’t count.
      Peace

        and how did the planets find their way around the sun before Newton’s theory of gravity?

        Thanks for the laugh, stevie.

  7. its been pretty obvious from the fossil record that warm periods in the Jurassic and cretaceous were good for life

  8. Anna one more time, from H.L. Mencken with these timeless observations:

    “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” Witness Green War I.

    “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it. Power is what all messiahs really seek: not the chance to serve. This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to foreign parts.”
    Islamists, statists and despots all.

    “The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.”
    Enough said there.

  9. Glacial periods are an exception, I believe earth has only seen glacial periods (fluctuating “ice ages”) about 10% of the time. The reason is distribution of land and water. But there was that one era known as “snowball earth” about 500 million years ago when ice covered most of the planet (despite less land near poles). So our recent “quaternary” era of four significant ice ages separated by inter-glacials is not a worst case scenario.

    I would also caution that looking at data on these very long time scales can tend to obscure significance of recent fluctuations. I am between two extremes on this, probably because I have no political dog in the hunt, I regard AGW as significant but over-hyped. I also suspect the earth has shutdown mechanisms to deal with what some scientists believe to be imminent runaway warming. But I don’t dismiss it all as fantasy or fraud. Truth is probably more complex than ideologues on either side understand. Ideologues tend to reason backwards from where they want to be, to where we are now. This makes for bad science (on both sides). So yes, I have no friends. Comes with the territory of placing truth above ideology.
