CO2 is the primary cause which is produced by human activity. Think about the planetary biosphere as an interconnected system whereby variables interact with other variables which will cause change.

Animal species/groups are regulated by their natural environment i.e, food supplies, water, climate and disease. Primates such as pictured above don't drill for oil, build nuke plants and have no technological means to control their environment.

@Jonesboy FYI, I have an undergraduate degree in the biosciences since you claimed I didn't have any academic credentials apropos to this discussion.

Any process that human primates engage in is a natural process and that is just fine? Whether or not it is destructive to life?

Indeed! Natural gas, coal are being promoted as clean energy sources. Both produce CO2 with coal producing far more CO2. Texas apparently has more coal than oil and will be building coal gasification plants. I think Eastman Kodak owns the patents on coal gasification which they somehow acquired from the Nazis. The methane hot spot in the four corners area is cause for serious concern. It can been seen from space. https://www.sanjuancitizens.org/four-corners-methane-hotspot

Some have argued that methane deposits can be harvested for a new fuel source. First, methane is far more toxic to the biosphere than fossil fuels and second, methane hydrate is not in a contained pool which makes it impossible to tap.

Either take your conversation with rideforever somewhere else, or get back on topic.

Yes! In terms of food crop production, as you know, there is a very narrow adaptive range in terms of growing season length, temperature and light, in which any change in one of those variables can either, reduce production, or result in total crop failure. In terms of warmer ocean temperatures, warmer water has less O2 which lowers pH levels to a slightly more acidic solution (greater hydrogen ion concentration) in which crustaceans are unable to utilize calcium to form shells. Warmer water decreases phytoplankton population which produces half the planets O2. The other half is produced by all other plant life. Research in the area of phytoplankton is being conducted by Dr. Andrew Barton.

The East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane problem has been observed by Russian scientists for decades. With the melting of the subsea permafrost as well as surface permafrost, methane hydrate releases CH4 into the atmosphere which adds to the greenhouse effect. Methane hydrate will combust.

I am not predicting doomsday, but understand the science. Jonesboy just cuts/pasted a lot of disparate graphs and many fall for such nonsense. No matter what you believe, cry or whine about, humans are the cause of AGW and the biosphere will continue to have extreme weather events. That is a fact!!

I never mentioned North America so stop revising what I stated. You just accused me of not making sense which is an attack as opposed to requesting clarification. I view the biosphere as a whole which it is, as opposed to separate parts. I believe that is the Tao.

You have no idea as to what my expertise is. I said biosphere which is a non linear dynamic system. It is obvious you are lost with that size of complexity, so go ahead and have fun with your graphs.

You can argue all you want with cut/paste, but it changes nothing as to the causes of AGW. I am not wasting any more time with this!

I have a degree in the hard sciences along with 50 credit hours of math/advanced mathematics. Arctic ice is receding and not reforming during the winter season, in general.

Do you have any college course work in the hard sciences which teach the scientific method? My reason for asking is that if you did, you wouldn't be cherry picking, cutting and pasting from a web site. That is to say, you would be discussing in your own words and not relying on a questionable web site. Confirmation bias has no place in this discussion. Further, I am not deceived by unfounded non peer reviewed writing. BTW, check out the methane pools in the Arctic circle which are directly caused by AGW. Any idea as to what methane release will cause? I suggest Thomas Kuhn's-https://www.amazon.com/Structure-Scientific-Revolutions-Thomas-Kuhn/dp/0226458083

You are confusing global climate with local weather conditions. Big mistake!

I said nothing regarding an assessment of your mental state!

Since you are a Brit and can't fix your own problems in your depleted empire then why not stick your nose in others business which is so typical! Your accusations are baseless!

Correct! I posted a picture of an angle grinder with a generator awhile back. In fact upright slats as shown in Trump's sketch will bend and twist without proper cross bracing. Any wall structure above 6 ft. must comply with building codes, which means structural!

In what way does the above in bold have anything to do with the carnage of war and in this case, Omaha Beach?

Two of my uncles were in WWII and both suffered psychological damage (PTSD) which continued till the day they passed on. My uncle Bill was in the cleanup group which followed behind the lines to cleanup the carnage, use your imagination on this one. My uncle Glenn (Bus) was in Patton's Army, North Africa, front lines in Italy, third wave D Day (Omaha Beach) Battle of the Bulge, was one of the first troops to cross the Rhine River, saw the death camps and so forth. I seriously doubt either one of my uncles would share your delusional sentiment. One other comment is that on Omaha Beach many of the bodies were not recognizable, blown to bits!

The bottom of the capsules are lined with special ceramic tiles that can withstand the heat. The capsules enter the atmosphere at a very precise angle to prevent damage to the body of the capsule. Same way with the shuttles.

In response to Trump’s incessant need for a wall in which there will be no funding beginning 1-3-19. Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man. ~ Gen. George S. Patton

Always hire a trained licensed and insured arborist for tree removal. The video demonstrates the dangers of untrained persons cutting down trees.

It is very easy to manipulate these kinds of tests to obtain a specific result.
