CO2 has been understood to be a greenhouse gas since the 1860s. The potential for human emissions to cause warming was theorized in the 1890s. We have a century of study supporting what is now widely accepted science. We can not yet perfectly predict every effect of climate change, but the general trends are not in question. Reputable scientists will continue to debate specific models, & strengths of various feedbacks, but none of that quibbling about detail (which is how science works) is doubt about the basic mechanics. To represent it as such is either deliberately dishonest, or profoundly ignorant. Pruitt is therefore either corrupt or scientifically illiterate, so shouldn't be anywhere near public policy on the environment. |

No, CO2 is just a minor greenhouse gas. The youtube video that I keep throwing-up here answers those questions, especially from minutes 10 to 22 in the video. (Look,...!) Furthermore, the film makes the point that Al Gore got it all wrong when he pointed rise and fall of CO2 as being a precipitator of global warming (also in the film) and point out that the rise in CO2 throughout history ALWAYS followed the rise in global temperatures, by 800 years or so, not preceding it! A very, very important point. Again, watch..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-m09lKtYT4 Mozart |

Mozzie, are you a climate scientist, researcher, or involved otherwise in any scientific field and/or research? |

Mozart polishing the Pruitt turd The atmosphere is made up of these basic elements- Oxygen, nitrogen, CO2 and methane. CO2, unlike Oxygen and nitrogen, absorbs heat, being that it's carbon based, like coal. CO2 controls the temperature of the earth. Measured in parts per million, too little CO2 and the Earth would an ice age. Too much creates a greenhouse effect. For thousands of years the range of CO2 in the atmosphere ranged between 300 and 350ppm. We know this from ice core samples taken in Greenland and Antarctica. According to these ice core samples, in the last 50 years the numbers spiked, from 350 up to 400ppm. That coincides with the increase in usesge of fossil fuels, which leaves a fingerprint signature in the CO2. The numbers and the facts dont lie. Global warming is due to the increased use of fossil fuels over the last 50 years, beyond the planet's ability to absorb the CO2 |

Great Plains Wildfires March 2017 The record-breaking wildfires that erupted in early March in the Great Plains are consistent with the long-term increasing wildfire activity observed in the western US grasslands, activity driven by climate change trends in the Great Plains region.[1] Since the 1970s, large grass and shrubland fires have increased by more than 100,000 acres per decade. The frequency and intensity of wildfires in the Great Plains are increasing as the combination of higher temperatures, untamed underbrush and more extreme drought elevate wildfire risk. Formal attribution work has identified the fingerprint of global warming in the record hot temperatures that swept across the US east of the Rockies in February 2017, as climate change increased the likelihood of such heat by threefold. ![]() http://www.climatesignals.org/headlines/events/great-plains-wildfires-march-2017 |

Who caused the global warming when Antarctica was covered by forests 50 million years ago ???....There were no coal fired power plants or EPA then...............

The winter months would have been dark, as they are today, but the weather was far warmer. Organic molecules preserved from Eocene soil bacteria confirmed the temperature readings derived from pollen. Dr Bendle added: 'Our work carries a sobering message. Carbon dioxide levels were naturally high in the early Eocene, but today CO2 levels are rising rapidly through human combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation. 'We haven’t reached Eocene levels yet but we are increasing at a rate faster than any time in Earth’s history. 'Atmospherically speaking, we are heading rapidly back in time towards the Eocene. Already CO2 levels are at a peak not seen since the Pliocene warm period 3.5 million years ago. 'The biggest threat lies in the fact that Antarctica today is covered with ice, enough to potentially raise global sea-levels by 60 metres if the continent once again reaches Eocene temperatures, which would have devastating effects all over the world.' Lead author Professor Jvrg Pross, from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, said: 'If the current CO2 emissions continue unabated due to the burning of fossil fuels, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, as they existed in the distant past, are likely to be achieved within a few hundred years. 'By studying naturally-occurring climate warming periods in the geological past, our knowledge of the mechanisms and processes in the climate system increases. 'This contributes enormously to improving our understanding of current human-induced global warming.'

I'd like a Moderator to step-in here. This guy (see above) has been hurling personal insults at me, over a number of blogs and has been getting away with it. Why? He needs to barred from the site, warned or reprimanded. I could easily respond in kind, but I'll wait for a Moderator to make a comment here... Mozart Edited by W A Mozart, Mar 14 2017, 02:46 AM.

We are not responsible for moderating comments made on other blogs. As for here, every member is permitted a single School Yard level comment or insult towards another member; one per day in a 24 hour period measured midnight to midnight East Coast Time USA. Be aware please if you choose to insult back in kind that topic authors are held to a higher standard. So a school yard aimed at another member by the topic author would result in that topic being closed. |

You mean, like, I get ONE school yard insult of my choosing? Every 24 hours? How do you people keep track? Where are these rules so most of us can study them. When can I respond? I can hurl personal insults as well. Big boy, and all that. If I do that, however, then you shut this thing down, right? Or is this a liberal-conservative thing? "Liberal" moderators will allow insults (they kinda agree with them anyway,.... ) to flow from fellow contributors, then clamp-down on conservatives for responding? Slippery slope here.I don't mind people making comments, but this "guy" has gone way overboard. I will ignore him, and make every effort to highlight personal attacks. I will be fascinated to see how 'liberal' moderators respond. Mozart |

We don't "keep track" of anyone. Violations are either reported or a moderator notices during the course of their normal posting. You get the same single insult per day that everyone else gets. Avoid if you are the topic author. It has nothing to do with politics, the rules are the rules and the School Yard rule has existed for a decade plus. The rules can be found here: http://unitedstates.com/boardrules/ News Board Rules - http://unitedstates.com/boardrules/forum/?f=3274633 |

If a huge climate change could take place in a few hundred years, I have plenty of time to adjust to it....That is a load off my mind...................
