RE: Climategate, a critical manifesto on proposed CO2 reductions
Wow! You can actually look at the graph showing the increase in carbon dioxide has been occurring over the last 7000 years and the graph showing the lag in carbon dioxide concentration behind temperature and make that conclusion. Simply because there is no explanation of why glacial and inter-glacial periods occur, it must be because of human activities. Unbelievable....
The current global average CO2 level is well above 400 ppm. Your graph stops at 300 ppm. Why does your graph not show the unprecedented increase from 300 ppm to 400 ppm that took place within the last century?
Again, you're completely ignoring the main points of information demonstrated in this data. The data goes back 500,000 years and your concerned that the last 100 years isn't included.
For clarification, this is not my graph and not my data. For me to take credit for it would be plagiarism.
It seems that we disagree on the influence of human activities on global warming. These human activities mainly occurred in the past 100 years and not in the previous 500.000 years. In the past 100 years the CO2 levels went up from 300 ppm to above 400 ppm.
You are correct, we do disagree. Yes CO2 levels have increased but CO2 levels don't drive the temperature change. It's been shown to be a result of the temperature change and not the driver of it.
