This gradual increase has been going on for over 75 years now (if you believe the old recorded temperatures) and has averaged about 1/2 a degree higher in that time but considering we have only been recording temperatures for about 150 years, who's to say that 1/2 degree is actual or just from inaccurate gages used in the early years of temperature measurement and recording. It has not been conclusively proven there is even a non-normal shift in global temperature so the scientists who get research money to study global warming have now started using the "consensus" word meaning that all the global warming scientists sat it's true so it must be and we all must believe them. There was also a consensus of scientist's claming the Earth was flat, the Earth was the center of the solar system and universe, global cooling was real, acid rain (which was going to kill off all the trees and oceans), and any number of hydrogen bombs starting a nuclear winter. You can tell there about to lose the argument when the "consensus" word starts getting used and that anyone making any argument ageist there consensus science makes them say they need to be disqualified and fired by not joining the consensus crowd pushing global warming. You hear nothing from the global warming crowd when record low temperatures are recorded but the first time we get even close to a hot summer day all you will hear from the pro global warming media is " Its global heating and this proves it" news report.
Do forget the pending Ice Age" CRISIS during the 1970s. What about the "holes in the ozone layer" CRISIS. And my favorite pending global crisis that took bilions out of the conomy was the "Y2K" CRISIS. Anyone consisder/discuss the huge increase in CO2 form recent volcanic releases??? Minimal or no discussion or consideration of the sun's impact on planet temperatrure resulting from increased solar activities during the past 10 to 15 years. The planet maybe warmer than..........what is the normal or ideal planet temperature???
I have not been convinced that humans are the cause of or even an influence on global climatic varaibles.
BTW....what is the unit of measurement and cost per unit to purchase carbon offsets?? I only consume about 2 tankfuls (30 gals) of fuel in my car per year....I would like sell carbon offsets.
SNOW in OKC yesterday...sunny and cold (high 30s) today.
