are you a bit sick? :p

Luv these vids for primarily for info and education, but I gotta say, Sarah looks mighty good in this one!

Yay to Planet 100 for seeing how biochar can be used to help!

@MrBramfox

And please, try and understand context when people talk about these things, as far as I know it's undisputed that CO2 increase follows temperature increase for the reasons I already stated but only when warming happens first on a global scale and there are many different kinds of triggers, none of which are at play over the last few decades. Being half smart isn't smart at all, try and actually do some research.

@MrBramfox

In other words unless there's something long term to trigger these first they simply don't happen.

The cause of the initial CO2 increase and temperature increase is definitely us.

Also why do you care about Al Gore, I don't care about Al Gore, why do skeptics keep on humping Al Gore when it comes to this topic?

@MrBramfox

Those are known as positive feedbacks and result from warming and amplify warming like the ocean less able to dissolve gasses is a positive feed back. Melting ice offering a lower reflectivity is a positive feed back, higher water vapor concentrations due to a warmer atmosphere is a positive feedback.

These positive feedbacks only happen if there is a warming first, but the CO2 it's self absorbs more radiation from our sun.

@MrBramfox

"Scientists agree the increase in CO2 is a result of the oceans having already warmed due to sun storms."

Scientists don't state this, they state it's a amplifier that as the oceans get warmer due to AGW in this case it can't contain as much gas which releases it into the atmosphere.  You should read what the scientist said in response to seeing himself misrepresented in that "documentary" you did such hard research on.

Lastly The sun is actually the quietest it's been in 50 years

[MrBramfox]

@garith21 .  I accept your argument thus far. However, I still find it compelling that quite a few scientists agree that the release of CO2 is following a global temperature rise instead of leading it and that Al Gore is a monster of a fat masterbater who was probably sold out to the NWO anyway so who cares if he didn't win.

@MrBramfox

Thirdly, no one cares about what Al Gore says when it comes to the science of the matter, there's vast amount of scientific peer reviewed evidence that indicate that CO2 is the primary cause of the upwards trend over the last few decades
