I suppose he’s hearkening to the “Earth has gone through several heating and cooling periods through the eons, so what we’re experiencing now is nothing new or unnatural” argument against AGW.

I would argue that it doesn’t matter whether the earth was once a billion degrees on the surface a hundred million years ago, but it does matter if the ocean levels raise 10 inches within the next hundred years.

Will they? I dunno. Be worth trying to figure out and attempt to prevent though.

It’s not worth trying to figure out because the warmer the planet, the better it is to grow stuff.

Also it’s just a myth that those damn scientists are using to make profits. Unlike the energy companies, which would never try to do such a nasty thing.

Also the whole thing was made up by the Chinese.

Nope, it doesn’t bother me one bit. Furthermore, I absolutely doubt that we can either change or affect it whatsoever. Besides, a warmer earth even by a degree is better for us, it allows more crops to flourish among many other things.

Plus, shall I again remind you “recorded history” is only the last 140 years? Unless you believe a young earth, then that’s pretty bad science to base an entire theory about the planet based only on .0000000001% of the earths history.

Meteorological charts go back to 1850 (thermometers etc) - so you’re getting on for 170 years. Still a small portion of the Earth’s history - but a reasonable point to measure when factoring in comparisons for the age of the Second Industrial Revolution (factories, urbanisation, smoke, grit, dust, grime, gas and chemicals, coal and mining taking place on a more ‘industrial’ scale leading to engines - powering and use of).

.

To the later question of ‘So, do you think it was hotter or colder during the Middle Ages?’ - that’s a wider-ranging question, when and where? At which point in the Middle Ages? Circa 1000 when some believe there to have been the Little Ice Age? Or the Warming Period in SouthEast Asia & parts of Northern Europe around the same time?

Am off too bed now (late in the UK) - but am curious as to your answer and why (as well as where and when).

You decide.

You want me to decide your answers to my questions - and also why you posed them?

Is it becoming clearer why I wouldn’t answer his stupid questions?

What day is today ?
It’s Donald Trump’s day
What a day for a Trump day !
Let’s all have some cake !

Whatever you think of Hilary, she’s much more gracious than Trump would have ever been. No way he would have attended, in fact he would have spent the whole event tweeting lies and bullshit from home.

^Nice to see we have members who speak for Presidential candidates here. Like Hillary Clinton’s tweets matter anymore than Trumps, LOL.

Trump is now President, God help us all.

Is this a good time for me to hope God exists?

Actually, if he/she/whatever does, I doubt he/she/whatever cares what our stupid country does to itself.

sure, why not? At least you’d believe there was someone with the power to stop Trump.

I disagree here. The God I believe in cares about the whole world.

America in distress day 1 (don’t worry, I am not going to do a day to day countdown)

I just can’t believe we’ve gotten to this point as a nation. It’s a dystopian nightmare, and I’m not sure when it began.

Did he care about the Roman Empire?

If we’re going with a Christian interpretation, they did kill Jesus, which probably did them no favors.

Yeah, I figured there is a better example, but that was the first that came to mind. I’m not very good with history.

Lol what.

Ha, that’s great.

Ha, that’s great.

JEDIT: Twice as great as I realized!
