  1. Re:call me skeptical on NASA, NOAA: 2014 Was the Warmest Year In the Modern Record · · Score: 0

    I'm skeptical when the data set is not big enough to show the trend. We would need records for hundreds of thousands of years to make the claim it's either warming or cooling fact is we can't make either claim with any certainty due to incomplete data, we are talking a body that has cooling and warming cycles that last hundreds or even thousands of years.

    Do we have enough data on record to account for those long term trends?

    Earth was here before us, it'll be here after us. Same as so many other apex species.

    The most notable consequence of the last temperature change of this rapidity was a dieoff of what percentage of life forms inhabiting the region now known as North America? I'm not sure. Another comment claimed half the mammal species, though. We might find that inconvenient.

    By chance were any of those species that died out capable of farming? Or have access to our level of technology?

    It might seem that way if you ignore the fact that small changes in sea level can mean very serious changes for storm surges.

    So we move inland and lose Florida and Brussels.

    Not in any serious percentage, and we continue to produce CO2-producing power plants as fast as we can, as a species.

    The day will come when we run out of fuel. We will be overpopulated well before climate affects us on a large scale.

    Not for a psychopath. Our particular political system is apparently designed to put them in office and keep them there.

    Bang on!

    This I think I'd be more worried if the earth were shown to be cooling.

    Either way no matter what we do the earth will correct itself once we run out of fuel.

    Wait what? Did you read the Summary?

    Since 1880, Earth’s average surface temperature has warmed by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius)

    In over 100 years the average has warmed 8/10's of a single degree.

    Given the rate we are reproducing we will run out of resources as well as overpopulate ourselves into a corner well before we are done in by global warming.

    Don't cow farts account for the second highest source of methane? Well not cows alone but human created in cattle, manure storage farming etc. I think in 2002 or 2004 methane from cattle or human created accounted for the highest source of methane release beating out the oil fuel industry as highest contributor in the US for methane.
