Fox News reporter: Temperature ‘hasn’t changed much since the Ice Age’

Cool.
What she is she on about CO2 being good?
While CO2 isn't poisonous to plants it is to about everything else.
The planet has had higher levels of CO2. Higher levels of CO2 mean larger plants (because they can grow larger) which results in more oxygen. I don't really see the problem?
The dinosaurs were only that big because they had more CO2, and more O2 caused them to be able to be larger.

[QUOTE=Chrille;35331342]Average temperature is above 0 degrees Celsius in polar regions and no glaciers anywhere. Something along those lines.[/QUOTE]
BUT THAT'S CLIMATE CHANGE AND WE MUST FIGHT AGAINST IT!

The thing is that these past climate changes from icehouse to greenhouse earth happened over hundreds (or tens, it's a little fuzzy) of thousands of years and lasted millions of years, while the current climate changes are happening very rapidly, which could be because of human interference. Even if it is natural, striving to develop eco-friendly technology should still be a no-brainer.

You think the problem with climate change is lack of oxygen?
Also, everything you're saying is bullshit.
Its only a matter of time before winter and summer merge into a sort of weird seasonal hybrid.

Pretty much everything to said is wrong apart from that first bit, and it's not the amount of CO2 that's going to cause problems, it's how quickly it's changing.
The planet's climate is fragile, and it's going to change on its own. The earth varies in distance to the sun by several million miles per year, the sun doesn't burn at a constant, and just that small tilt of our planet on its axis makes an 85degree summer day a -5 Degree winter day. Just that small ass tilt makes that big of a difference. So a half a degree average here or there difference in the last 100 years? Big Fucking Deal. Hell we've only really been recording this type of data pretty recently. Who's to say it hasn't been doing this since the last ice age, and won't continue until the next

uh no that's not how seasons work

Source from 2007. You know they did alot of fake research about global warming, and they suppressed actual evidence which overruled it from all major scientific media?
Also, in that article:
[QUOTE]CO2 is the source of the carbon that plants turn into organic compounds, and it is well established that higher CO2 levels can have a fertilising effect on many plants, boosting growth by as much as a third.[/QUOTE]

Global warming isn't coming. There is going to be a new ice age, and there is nothing we can do about it, we did not really affect this.
