    Am still waiting for the evidence that at 280ppm CO2 the weather was stable and predictable. According to your graph, the "little ice age" occurred when CO2 was at 280ppm. "The Little Ice Age is best known for frequent cold winters and cool, wet summers that led to crop failures and famines" Is that your notion of an "ideal" climate? I celebrate the elevated CO2 levels for record food production and slight temperature elevation and you want to take us back to crop failures and famines.

    "In 2019, the ocean temperature was about 0.135 degrees Fahrenheit (0.075 degrees Celsius) higher than the average between 1981 and 2010" Really? .135? The margin of error is more than that.

    Sorry I didn't see any scientific data, just the links about flesh eating bacteria and hedge fund managers going green. I'm taking a lot of incoming so it is hard to keep up. Could you please send me the link and I will give it a good look.

    Let us talk about your claims for a minute. You claimed "the safest strategy is to reduce CO2 emissions as quickly as possible to provide civilization with a stable climate" and "predictability is good for us" Please let me know what level of CO2 would produce a stable and predictable climate and give examples of that stability and predictability at that level of CO2 in the past. Eagerly awaiting your reply.

    Yep I'm guilty of not reading the entire paper, did a quick lazy google search and found a couple of links. When I made the comment about observation vs modeling I wasn't referring to that particular paper, I was referring to the observation that the number of fires and the area burned have declined during this century. Let me say that again, the number of fires and the area burned have declined NOT increased as predicted by AGW theory. Prediction does not agree with observation? Theory busted.

    CO2 enables plants to retain more water, plants with more water are less combustible than plants with less water. It's common sense.

    Can you send me some proper, peer reviewed and published scientific papers on how increased atmospheric CO2 has lead to MORE wildfires MORE hurricanes, MORE drought and MORE floods? Not predictions, not models, actual observation of phenomenon outside the range of natural variability and ruling out any other driver other than CO2.

    I have a high school diploma and took a science class in tenth grade.

    Read the link above, it is an OBSERVATION, not a SIMULATION. Do you realize there is a difference? AGW theory predicted MORE wildfires, we got less. As Richard Feynman said "If it disagrees with experiment (or observation), it’s wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science"

    It has reduced them https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/2017JD027749 "We find that there is a strong statistically significant decline in 2001–2016 active fires globally"

    It is not just increased photosynthesis, higher levels of CO2 help plants use less and retain more water by reducing stoma density. The more water in a plant the less likely it is to burn. As far as a warming, I see nothing threatening about a fraction of a degree of warming per decade.

    From arson, not climate change.

    It is the one thing that higher levels of CO2 does. What it doesn’t do is cause more floods, droughts, wildfires and hurricanes.
  16. brenthutch
    Did you notice the links showing the greening impact of CO2 actually REDUCES wildfires? Or would that disturb your political world view?

    I hired him as a paid intern when I worked in banking. A suit and tie with dreads.

    Try this on for size, It is just weather and it is only local after all Australia covers only 5% of the planet. (Or does that argument only work when you are dismissing record cold?) You don't like the way it fits, do you? Then there is this https://climatechangedispatch.com/australia-droughts-longer-severe/

    No I am assuming nothing. You have clearly stated you judge people on their appearance.
  21. brenthutch
    Then you are missing out. I interviewed a young man who was intelligent and well spoken, he just had a set of dreadlocks that would put Sideshow Bob to shame. I referred him on as a hire but my boss turned him down, I protested and he was eventually hired and became one of my best people, worked for me for the rest of the time he was an undergrad, then moved onto law school. The phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes to mind.
  22. brenthutch
    Ok I take it back, you can form your prejudicial and biased opinions about a person just by the way they look. How enlightened.
  23. brenthutch
    No it's not, but it reveals YOUR bias nonetheless. Your bias is no doubt shaped by the character assignation you saw on MSM, demonstrably damaging his reputation, hence the lawsuit.

    Thought it might be Belgium. When I was in Brussels, in the early 80's. I asked a girl if she spoke English, she rolled her eyes, said yes....and German and French and Dutch.
  25. brenthutch
    That is impressive (seriously I'm not being a dick). Where did you go to school? I only managed German 1 German 2 and then German 2 again in high school.
