Thanks ucodegen. I think 1jrp1 is being quite arrogant, with so-called “Facts” (CO2 and temperature are not tightly correlative, notably in the past 50 years, e.g. 1945 to 1975 cooling period). His “Facts” are case of crying wolf. And I sense so much fear in him, of me, and of independent thought.
Edit after research. Here’s the fantastically tight correlation between CO2 and temperature:
1880-1945: +.4 C
1945-1975: -.1 C
1971-present: +.3 C
total warming since 1880: +.6 C
If man starting spewing out most of the CO2 after World War II, why is most of the warming prior to it? Why did it get colder after World War II?
The asteroid analogy is weak. The trajectory of an asteroid is easily computed using Newtonian physics. There will be error, but that error is quantifiable based on measurement error, and not based on assumptions (i.e. plugging in unknown variables). We know positions of satellites billions of miles away to the meter. The current state of climate science is that the ability to know future climate is very very weak–do we know what the temperature will be 50 years from now? Hell no.
“Future SDguy, you are doing a great disservice to climate scientists, and to your fellow human beings.”
Because I don’t serve out your Kool Aid, I’m a disservice to fellow humans?
“Your understanding of climate science and basic physics and chemistry is deeply flawed, or else your representation of it is deliberately deceitful.”
I may not be a climate scientist, but I do have analytical thinking skills and I apply them when I read. And you are an arrogant twit. Why do i say this? Because you claim to know the truth better than me, and resort to insults when someone disagrees with you. I doubt you have read both sides like I have–I know the Kool Aid you’re drinking, trust me.
