or do you still see it as cherry picking the data?
sam , when you posted the image below , I had just posted
that CO2 increases lag behind Temperature increases by apx
800 years and my image spanned 800,000 years.
your image had a span of only 16,000 years and was an
obvious attempt to support your proposal that Temperatures lagged behind CO2 increases , thus my claim that cherry picking data was in play.
I may have misunderstood your post , you may have simply been
showing that volcanic activity can cause CO2 levels to lead Temperature levels.
even so , what it all boils down to is that temperatures are
not increasing , temperatures are decreasing even though mans
contribution of CO2 through the use of fuels is 1000 times the amount of global CO2 produced by volcanic activity per year.
CO2 is not causing warming it is causing cooling...
if you need a reason to reduce the CO2 emissions then you
should focus on the obvious ability of CO2 to cause the earth to cool.
I would say that focusing on increasing methane to warm the planet would be the choice.
and of course a balance of methane when the right temperature
has been achieved.
but I don't really think that we can get ourselves out of
this backwards way of thinking that we have gotten ourselves into quick enough to actually accomplish a balance.
think about how the world is using methane as a energy source today...
landfills now burn the methane to make energy.
3rd world nations homes have methane digesters to make methane as a fuel.
fires destroy much of the natural methane.
man really is changing the climate , we just have the
wrong information.
