What does 10 TRILLION gallons of water even equate to?

Hu? :h
How can anybody argue that "man" was the cause of climate problems when he wasn't even around then? There always was wide swings and more than likely always will be.

The person you cited in the hyperlink as an authority on climate and it's causes is a perfect example. I knew his name but in the fog of late night posting forgot why. This morning when I looked at the chart it came to me in a flash. Lappis, is NOT the author of the paper but an energy professional, who extended and uploaded the graphics using his own interpretation of the data.

The actual writer of the book the info came from is on the opposite side of the debate, Prof. Richard Alley.

I think you'd have to read the book in order to argue the validity of the research and hypothesis. It's called "The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future".

HTH

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

The fact is man has not been around for millions of years. We have core samples that show for a fact that there were wild swings in temperature millions of years ago. I linked you to one.

My question to "you" is this: How can "man" cause wild swings in temperature when he wasn't even around to cause them?

And my answer to you is read the book and then we'll all be on the same page/topic and able to discuss the subject on the same level:). Should you then disagree with the author's conclusion well then we have something to debate/discuss amicably. IMO, Mr. Lappis was intellectually dishonest to pass the graphic off as his own although it COULD be he was merely watermarking the info. We won't know his motivations since he's dead.

I did not enter this thread to discuss the different sides of the modern and unfortunately in this country highly politicized climate control debate. I've given up on politics on this site unless it's being discussed in a humorous manner. Anddddddddd we all know how long even that will last.

I merely pointed out incorrect information that was being promulgated as to time frames and sources of information and where it came from.

I'm sorry you did not understand what I'm saying so I'll say it again:

Read the book
