Wait I have something for you

2019-02-20 22:30:18 UTC  

if CO2 was an issue than the earth would have died long ago from bodily emissions given off by the dinosaurs

2019-02-20 22:30:46 UTC  

This is a really powerful visualization

2019-02-20 22:30:56 UTC  

can't read it when its microscopic

This is just the last 400k years but still pretty surprising

2019-02-20 22:33:04 UTC  

the earths temperature is changing yes, but I don't believe it has anything to do with humans being the main cause.

2019-02-20 22:33:06 UTC  

And besides, the weather has changed before by a lot. However, it’s never changed before in a modern human society. It’s a lot easier to move a village of mud huts away from the rising oceans than it is all of Manhattan.

correlation does NOT equal causation

2019-02-20 22:38:58 UTC  

you get the point

2019-02-20 22:58:25 UTC  

If it has been correlating for millions of years, then something is up

2019-02-20 23:01:31 UTC  

you can't run a true experiment because you can't randomly assign "treatment conditions" therefore you can never assume that correlation = causation. Doing so would be irrational in any scientific field. there is a possible association but there is no evidence that suggests that human activity is the cause and we will never be able to prove it.

2019-02-20 23:01:51 UTC  

association and correlation are two completely different things

2019-02-20 23:20:49 UTC  

The Poles are melting

2019-02-20 23:21:39 UTC  

Also, the correlation has happened over millions of years, if a correlation happens for that long, it's probably a causation

2019-02-20 23:24:56 UTC  

It’s not called global warming, it’s called climate change. You must’ve forgot to update your agenda

2019-02-20 23:25:20 UTC  

The words are interchangeable

2019-02-20 23:26:21 UTC  

What about the medieval warm period?

2019-02-20 23:27:55 UTC  

Yeah America is colder, but this is about **Global** warming.

2019-02-20 23:27:58 UTC  

But it’s “warming”

2019-02-20 23:28:07 UTC  

That’s like saying a cold day in summer proves it’s actually winter

2019-02-20 23:28:35 UTC  

There’s always gonna be warm and cold days. You have to look at the overall trend

2019-02-20 23:28:54 UTC  

The world as a whole is warmer, however that means America is temporarily colder due to some weather effect.

2019-02-20 23:29:30 UTC  

This happens periodically. It happens every 1000 years or so infact.

2019-02-20 23:30:48 UTC  

Of course about 12000 years ago we came out of the ice age, so I mean since then.

2019-02-20 23:31:59 UTC  

A bit crude I know, but observe the bumps, they are "warm" periods.

2019-02-20 23:34:11 UTC  

Bear in mind there is a lot of regional variation, for example, Greenland, it actually used to be a lot warmer.

2019-02-20 23:34:57 UTC  

That is to say most the last 10,000 years in Greenland were significantly warmer than it is now.

2019-02-20 23:36:10 UTC  

The if we go way back, we see that this whole global warming thing could just be a blip anyway before we go back into another ice age.
