I just checked out that article. It's from 2008. And it looks like the main concern was glaciers melting.
But now we know that they aren't melting. They are instead growing back.
And yeah...that whole reduce the Earth's temp by 2 degrees did sound to me like hypocrisy on their part when they claim that the 1/2 degree is so bad.
And of course...there is always the fact that the Earth has been warmer over the last few thousand years, and much colder at times as well. And yet...here we humans are. Even the polar bears somehow made it through the warm times before the Little Ice Age that occurred between 1300 and 1850
Ever notice how alarmists NEVER use the temperature of the Earth between 1300 and 1850?
That's because the Earth started warming up pretty fast after that point. So they always start around 1880 when the warm up was kicking in so they can tie it to "manmade" instead of the Earth warming back up.
I would also like to see the ACTUAL temperature (and not the temp anomaly) of the Earth in the warm Medieval period that brought about the Renaissance and the rise of Europe as a rich and cultural area.
But no matter how much I search...I can't find the actual TEMPERATURE of the Earth (which I would assume they could tell us through various scientific methods) during the warm periods so that we could compare it to the actual temperature now.
Instead all we get are graphs that show temperature anomaly. And the anomaly is from what? What is the "normal" Earth temperature that they are using to measure for the anomaly?
I can't find that either. We just get a graph that is zoomed up big to make 1/2 of one degree look huge when compared to the lower temp which was 1/2 of one degree anomaly below whatever temp it is they are using as "normal"
I'd like more information. But I just can't find it.
I'm simply supposed to toss out everything I ever learned about the Earth's history and BELIEVE in the new religion of making billions of dollars from carbon trading.
EDIT: I was referring to the first article you had posted. Not the last couple of posts you made.
