NatGeo made some good points the other night... Is the planet warming: yes Is it generally cyclical: yes
Is the planet warming faster than in previous cycles, their data says yes Their question is "Is man contributing to the accelerated cycle" they believe that we are.. Before Sam pitches the CO2 is harmless argument, you're right with this caveat: As long as there is enough plant life using the CO2 produced, to maintain a 21% Oxygen saturation level in the atmosphere.. If atmospheric oxygen saturation levels drop below 21% mammalian life starts dying off. For anyone that didn't pay attention in 1st grade science class, Homo Erectus (modern man) is a mammal. Were destroying forests at a rate of 8.86 Million Hectares/year since 1990, nature can't keep up. The Amazon Rain forest alone accounts for 30% of the total atmospheric oxygen production it has lost over 600,000 square kilometers of forest since 1970... Note: there are no known non plant species that breathe C02 and produce oxygen as a by-product. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:33 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: climate raw data destroyed This guys thinks they are: The Smoking Gun At Darwin Zero http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/08/the-smoking-gun-at-darwin-zero/ On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:14 AM, Gruss Gott <[email protected]> wrote: > So you think temperature readings - recorded history from a zillion > sources - since 1880 are suspect? > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
