Probably.



There is basically no correlation between extreme weather events and temperature over the last 100+ years. For a summary of the current peer reviewed research ...

The lack of statistical warming over the last 19 ± 3 years has pretty much destroyed the global warming hoax. The Knight et al paper found ... "Near-zero and even negative trends are common for intervals of a decade or less in the simulations, due to the model’s internal climate variability. The simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends for intervals of 15 yr or more"

Added to that was the Fyfe et all paper that found ... "On this basis, the rarity of the 1993–2012 trend difference [models vs. data] under assumption (1) is obvious [zero chance models are correct]. Under assumption (2), this implies that such an inconsistency is only expected to occur by chance once in 500 years"

The lack of warming means the actual impact of human emissions is much lower than has been claimed. Here's a nice reference to the latest NOAA satellite data:

Forkie, you are confusing two issues. Does man have an impact .... yes. However, the latest evidence makes it unlikely that our impact is significant. Nature is by far the biggest factor in our climate.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are rising by a net of 15 gigatons per year, largely due to the 26 gigatons humans emit each year.



The atmosphere can't process it all, creating that excess.


With temperatures increasing on Mars and Venus, can we assume that is man made too or is that maybe due to the sun and a slight change or shift in the solar system?

So, you want to display the previous 3.1 BILLION years of C02 data and show when the levels were 10 TIMES higher?
Chilcoot provides the usual half truths we see from the Church of AGW. CO2 levels have been higher than present values for over 90% of the last billion years. Most of our DNA evolved with much higher CO2 levels. The fact is we were at near starvation levels of CO2 for plant life before humans began replenishing the atmosphere with CO2 that had been sequestered long ago. More CO2 leads to higher crop yields. Something a growing world population needs.

The actual warming effect is probably limited to about .05C/decade, or just one degree in the next 200 years.

  • There was ONE peer reviewed climate article in the 1970s that alleged global cooling.
  • There was ONE peer reviewed climate article in 2013 (out of 2,259) that rejected man-made global warming.
  • Unicorns.

    Guess what the above have in common?
