biffer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Unless there's a dramatic turnaround in November and December, 2014 will be the hottest year on record http://www.theecologist.org/blogs_and_comments/commentators/2612541/climate_deniers_lost_for_words_2014_set_for_hottest_year_on_record.html http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/oct/20/2014-on-track-to-be-hottest-year-on-record-says-us-science-agency looking forward to seeing the Daily Mail's 'since 1997' graph revised to include that figure.

Toepoke Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The records are only for around 100 years out of about 400 million though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 And during those 400 million we've been under a couple of kilometres of ice and in a tropical rainforest. But those changes are understood from other effects (orbital dynamics, changes to earth's axis) which don't account for the changes we're seeing.

phart Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well humans in their present form physically have existed for 200,000 years and 50,000 ago the great leap forward happened. We have had sudden ice ages that haven't been explained fully and such as well, and green house warming before. I just hate how it all gets politicised , monetised and hyped. It's all a big business opportunity as opposed to a grave risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
