you get the point
If it has been correlating for millions of years, then something is up
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.
association and correlation are two completely different things
The Poles are melting
Also, the correlation has happened over millions of years, if a correlation happens for that long, it's probably a causation
It’s not called global warming, it’s called climate change. You must’ve forgot to update your agenda
The words are interchangeable
What about the medieval warm period?
Yeah America is colder, but this is about **Global** warming.
But it’s “warming”
That’s like saying a cold day in summer proves it’s actually winter
There’s always gonna be warm and cold days. You have to look at the overall trend
The world as a whole is warmer, however that means America is temporarily colder due to some weather effect.
This happens periodically. It happens every 1000 years or so infact.
Of course about 12000 years ago we came out of the ice age, so I mean since then.
A bit crude I know, but observe the bumps, they are "warm" periods.
Bear in mind there is a lot of regional variation, for example, Greenland, it actually used to be a lot warmer.
That is to say most the last 10,000 years in Greenland were significantly warmer than it is now.
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.
That'd be neat
The ice age was kinda cold, I think most of Europe and America were permafrost or tundra, with glacial features.
I’m not sure if that’s an argument to ignore climate change
Support global warming, avoid the ice age?
what? That the earth has done this plenty of time without humans and it always recovers?
Basically the Earth has a cycle where we will freeze again whatever we do, the entire global warming since the 1600s is barely 10% of the change caused by an ice age.
too bad there's like no sources in any of these graphs
Most of the mid-term ones are based on ice core data, the longer term ones are based on rock data, and the modern ones on recorded observations.
This is a fun one.
It shows how the cycle has got more extreme, and the earth has got colder, over the last 5 million years.
But this doesn't show how humans are not aiding it
I think my point is that humans should do more because otherwise the ice age will still stuff everyone.
All the global warming we have managed so far is about +2 degrees, but an ice age drops us by around -8 degrees, up to -10 max.
My easy bake will keep me warm through the ice age <:PepeIcecreamSundae:475769244680847365>
Therefore, global warming should be continued for at least 400 years more to counterbalance the ice age and keep the world warm.
