really? your going there?

Believe me I know full well what is and is not frozen in that particular region.

we arent talking about what is or is not frozen. Because I AM educated on the subject, I now that can GROW and what cannot GROW. Both then and NOW.

and that is the point. Not if something has ice all year.

So what you are saying is that in the middle ages, they could grow wheat in iceland and greenland and now they cant.

Do I have that about right?
LOL - this post shows me that you might want to further your education in other areas than just science. Thanks for the chuckle!

Would you agree that sea level has actually dropped since about 2009?

oh see post 28

In 1842 the "Isle of the Dead" in SE Tasmania was selected for the site of a "Mean Sea Level" refernce mark by Capt. James Clark Ross. Today this mark can clearly be seen 35 cm ABOVE the current mean sea level.

Two year variations are not indicative of the historical trend.

What's the matter? Is that all you have? Just spell checking instead of addressing the points made?

I said in your other thread that I wondered if scientists had come out with man-accelerated climate change, rather than man-made if it would have changed the debate. What are your thoughts on that, or do you think our contributions have nothing to do with the environment?
Well, you've finally gotten the POINT! YESSSSSSS, the climate is ALWAYS changing - always has, always will. Good girl!

I think our contributions have little to no impact. To think that man can effect the planet. To think that man can determine and maintain the Earth's temperature is ridiculous.

We can, and do affect the planet on a daily basis. We've cleared billions of acres of forest for agriculture, blasted off mountain tops and dug enormous pits in search of fossil fuels, metals and minerals, fished and hunted hundreds of species into total or near extinction, drilled into the earth and taken countless amounts of oil and natural gas, created mines deep into the earth that change the water content of the rocks, stability of the region, etc. To say that humans have no impact on the planet is absolutely ludicrous and shows how little you know about the subject.

In the Earth's past, we had no oxygen in our oceans or atmosphere. Then came photosynthetic organisms, which, in the billions, altered our earth forever. How can you think that humans, who also number in the billions, are incapable of the same?
