Worse than that, some things which cause heating are labelled as cooling, so, in effect, CO2 is being blamed twice; once for overcoming the "cooling" caused and again wrongly for the actual heating caused.Oh, that is such a good find Bees
If you don't have all the information, you can't draw a conclusion...
So it seems Mankind is being blamed for a large amount of global warming that is actually being caused by the sun
No It isn't irrelevant.To a large extent the cause of climate change is irrelevant. It is changing, ice caps and glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising and all of this creates major problems for the planet. We still need to stop burning hydrocarbons, dumping plastic everywhere, over consuming fresh water and other resources.
Can anyone tell me what the normal temperature of the earth really is? Is it what it is now or what it was 5000 years ago
Not just the developed world, but the entire world, hydrocarbons are too valuable to simply burn.but it's no use saying that The West has to deny itself hydrocarbons whilst everyone else stands on the throttle, which is what has been going on.
Burning hydrocarbons is not the only source of heat, this comes down to Government policy on insulation, building standards, cost of alternatives to gas heating etc etc.We have approx. 50 000 people per year dying prematurely, directly, or indirectly because they cannot afford to adequately heat their home, in the UK alone
I don't think the majority of people who believe in climate change really know much about the ice caps. Why don't the climate change scientists ever talk about Greenland 15000 years ago when it was an agricultural area. It was much warmer then than now so is the climate now normal or was it normal then? What caused this dramatic change? It couldn't be because of coal fired power plants or SUV's. Could it possibly be from sun activity?Average temperature for the past 400,000 years was between minus 5 and minus 10 Celcius for 80 % of the time, with 5 brief peaks when it was above freezing.
We're in one of those peaks now, there have been longer and warmer interglacial periods than this one.
