RE: Temperature Increases First.

in #discussion7 years ago

hehe, I like how your chart is from iceagenow.info

Temps have been increasing on earth for the last 100+ years and at a increased rate when humans figured out they could burn fossil fuels to create energy.

do you consider one hundred years to be significant?

No, I think 800 thousand years is, CO2 levels currently on earth are the highest they have been in the last 800 thousand years, when CO2 levels increase it causes earth's temperature to increase, that is a proven scientific fact.

when CO2 levels increase it causes earth's temperature to increase, that is a proven scientific fact.

nope..CO2 is an effect. It's not the cause.
It's simple..when the temp goes up..CO2 goes up.
(lag time about a thousand years..hard to see on your graph?)

Cold water absorbs a lot more CO2 than warm water does.
when undersea volcanoes (4 million of them current estimate) heats up the ocean it releases CO2...it takes a while for the ocean to heat (or cool), hence the lag time.
