Global Warming. Part 1 - Is it getting warmer?

Using graphs from just when the little ice age ended around 1800 is typically convenient for AGW proponents. You will always see a warming trend.

Core samples from over 2000 locations worldwide show that from hundreds of millions of years ago the temperature was much higher than today, and at times CO2 was WAY higher as well. There was no tipping point and life clearly thrived.

AGW advocates should keep some of that hot air they're puffing for the next ice age. Grain doesn't grow in snow!

Starrdreams, Mercury has no atmosphere. How do you attribute CO2 to be the driving force there?  I think you're guessing.. badly!

Then why has C02 increased over the last 10 years but no corresponding global warming? 1998 was the hottest year during the last 12 years?

The recent emails are so critical to this argument because they show an obvious effort to hide the truth about historical temperature flucuations that would show climate change has been hapening for hundreds of years, and that the most recent temperatures are nothing more than part of that cycle.

@JonThm Well, ice age with ice and glaciers disappearing?

7 of the 8 major glaziers in the world advancing. World cooling since 2005 - YES!

@JonThm If you look not at a few years but at tens of years you will see that "things" are not cooling at all.

We are back to the 1950s - another little ice age. Know your recent histroy. THere was more CO2 being released then too.

@Icarusdecending82 No, there is nothing happened in the past what is happening today.

Snow and ice ever year now! Global Cooling stooge.

What evidence do you have of temperatures a 1000 years ago? The most recent data is nothing if as many earth science folks believe, that the earth is millions of years old. There were periods of warming and cooling associated with sunspots back into the dark ages. human expansion was evident during periods of warming, human retraction during global cooling periods. Look up the word "Vikings" for instance, if you at all want the truth.
