It was inevitable. "There's only one problem with climate change - it ended in 1998! 2005! 2010! 2014! the middle ages!" No real answer? I guess even you might start ignoring the tea leaves Oh. I know that climate change has never ended. Ever. That is not the real issue now is it....."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

billvon 3,132 #154 January 5, 2015 >No real answer? You didn't ask a question; just made another drive-by posting. But to get things rolling I will ask one. What was the average temperature in the Middle Ages, when you claim it was warmer than it is now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #155 January 6, 2015 kallend www.scientificamerican.com/article/2014-officially-hottest-year-on-record/ From the original post: QuoteNote: I did not list "temperature." As I've written repeatedly over the years, I expect the temperature to increase and that human activity is part of it. I don't need convincing of that. I need convincing that the rate is going to cause global societal crises. Because it don't see evidence that it will. Just lots of argument. So the record increased by .1 degrees Fahrenheit from 1998. .1 degrees F in 17 years is (assuming the Japanese don't get called deniers for going off the narrative that 1998 was only the 3rd or 4th highest temperature (as noted by billvon)) something I think we can adapt to. I don't think .6 degrees F per century is a big deal. Still, you focused on the metric I explicitly said I didn't want to see. Take a look at the crop yields this year. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #158 January 6, 2015 billvonWhat was the average temperature in the Middle Ages, when you claim it was warmer than it is now? silly....in Africa, or Antarctica? pick a location - let's says equivalent of Paris and don't forget to add 10 degrees,,,,people were shorter then ...

"Hottest year ever" and "hottest year on record" are NOT the same thing. Another denier attempt at obfuscation.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
