climate change.

For those of you that might be interested, take a look at the K-T boundary line (first line on the graph on the left). That is the Chicxulub Event that is thought to have caused the mass extinction event that led to the demise of the dinosaurs.

Look at the temperature spike that followed that event. The long term temperature spike is predicted by three separate theories (there is one that predicts a temperature drop). The graph is plotted on a log-lin plot so that long temperature drop after the spike would actually appear to be a very quick drop if the graph were plotted lin-lin.

What no one that I know of has looked into is how the Chicxulub Event might have altered Earth's orbital mechanics. After the initial temperature spike and then the rapid drop the Earth has gone into glacial/interglacial oscillations just like some one rang a bell.

*chuckle* Just can't keep stay on topic, can you? Trying to turn the discussion to politics at every opportunity, blame it on me, while hiding behind an organization that keeps churning out bogus prognostications based on guessed climate interactions. Bravo!!!!

It takes a lot to earn the title of the General Board's Most Egregious Liar.

You have shown us time and again how you are unsurpassed in your ability to fabricate, distort and deflect issues of the day.

Vetteman, for example, really has to work to pump out his daily spew of lies.

Not you.

You lie so often I have to think it's second nature to you.

You are hands down the most intellectually dishonest poster on this board, the Gold Standard of Derp.

Most people realize this, and approach anything and everything you post with well-deserved skepticism.

The rocks that make up the earth do not care about what the destructive colonies of ants known as humans do on the merest crust of the earth. The ball in its orbit, the sun with its cycles will heat and cool as it pleases. If and only if we have some kind of impact on that with HUGE increases in one of the least present gases, it will at some point reassert it self. Whether humans survive is of no importance to the rocks.

The law of conservation of matter says that all those carbon atoms have to go somewhere. They were not always buried in the earth. They got there by being bonded into carbon chains out of the atmosphere into plant life that died or was eaten by something that died and rotted.

All of the above takes eons. We will not see any catastophic changes the youngest litster lives to be 100. Arguing about it another 30 years is pointless. All that is going to happen is those that see this for what it is will say we are fine, the sky has not and will not fall, and the other side will say...but it will...just not this year, but next for sure!!!

If we hit another iceage we could not possible warm the earth sufficiently with Co2,

Ants were (are) poking a hole in the ozone with refrigerants. The ants got together and found less harmful ingredients to do the same job. If the ants would have just turned a blind eye, if the ants would have ignored the science and data, the hole could have caused big problems.

Maybe we can change things, maybe we cannot. There is no way to know without doing the research.

Yeah the hole might have let out all the heat we are now worried about.

There's the field. Arctic Ocean to the bottom of the pic and Imikpuk Lake to the top of the pic.

If you follow the road to the left, you drive to Point Barrow proper, to the right, the road goes to the City of Barrow.

Really? It's the left that wants to turn science into politics. l

No, that would be the Koch brothers and their ilk that have spent millions doing just that. Even George Bush's administration were worried about climate change, and said so, until they got their marching orders from their financial backers. Even those well known liberals the US armed forces believe it's one of their most serious threats. But liars and retards like you keep parroting the line fed to you by the money men. Because you're a dumb cunt.

This thread is skewed with such.
