OK, I'm looking at this chart and seeing that over the last 450,000 years, we have a 12°C (53°F) temp swing every 100,000 years or so and I doubt this is man made.
I also see CO2 peaking at about 300ppm.
If we're at 400ppm now, why aren't we off the top of the temperature chart if CO2 links directly to temperature?
Uh, 12C difference does not equal 53F difference, it equals a 21.6F difference.(1 degree C equals 1.8 degrees F)....Of course past climate change was not man made, but the reasons are understood......
Glacials and interglacials occur in fairly regular repeated cycles. The timing is governed to a large degree by predictable cyclic changes in Earth’s orbit, which affect the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of Earth’s surface. The three orbital variations are: (1) changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun (eccentricity), (2) shifts in the tilt of Earth’s axis (obliquity), and (3) the wobbling motion of Earth’s axis (precession). http://geology.utah.gov/map-pub/surv...t-causes-them/
Give it a bit more time....We will get there and beyond....I don't know why some people think climate change is an instant process.
Right....You say is no link between CO2 and temperature....What does it it take to ignore evidence like this?
Are you too obtuse to understand ordinate vs abscissa?
CO2 levels rise BEFORE an increase in temo, rather than the other way around. Further, CO2 levels rise AFTER methane levels.
Your "data" shows an ignorance of science and graphic trends.
Perhaps you neglected to look at the post in which I showed geological CO2 levels and temps over time. Are you just too lazy, or afraid to face facts which refute your cult?

A Winner!
Yes- these changes are regular and cyclical and predate man! The AGW group conveniently ignores CO2 ice core data, as it refutes the core premise of their cult.
So....................... it appears you cannot think for yourself, as expected. I posted a publication link for NATURE for Christ's sake (one of the best scientific journals in the world) that showed CO2 levels in the past were 4-5X higher than they are today. You just won't read it, as it refutes the beliefs of your cult. I can't help you if you are that lazy. Further, I posted links showing the temp and CO2 data over time- you are just too lazy (or frightened) to read it.
PS- I posted the link earlier that showed the CO2 temps in the 2000 + range with temps even lower (and sometimes higher) than they are now. The fact is that there is no correlation between CO2 and temperature over earth's history- that is the point.
You cannot explain any of the inconsistencies with AGW as they cannot be explained if one clings to a flawed hypothesis.
You have science backwards. It is incumbent upon those promoting the hypothesis and disprove the "null hypothesis" to "prove" the contention, not the other way around. AGW is analagous to saying that Elvis is alive and well, selling Gelato on Pluto. Because you cannot PROVE otherwise, it is true.
WAKE UP.
Could please tell me what post # the Nature link is located in, or re-post the link (I was unable to find the link.)

It is not my data, or graph...It is from the science journal Nature......It's not me who is ignorant of climate science...Just the fact that you do not know why CO2 spikes AFTER the temperature rises tells me that.

A winner? The poster cannot even convert Celsius to Fahrenheit...
My bad. Used the wrong calculator. Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion (ºC to ºF)
It gave me the thermometer value for 12°C.
Thought 53° was way to high but had to get back to work.
The planet did not boil then, despite CO2 levels 4-5X those of today.
The problem with AGW is that there are SO MANY inconsistencies and contradictions in the theory that cannot be explained if one clings to the hypothesis. In actual science, one begins to question the hypothesis with the accumulation of data that refutes the hypothesis.
Again, we had the "GRAND GLOBAL WARMING EXPERIMENT OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION" in which man made CO2 levels fell dramtically (to a degree that could never be achieved again) due to a decline in industrial output (gee............. this is what the AGW crowd wants, right?). Despite the decline in CO2 production, TEMPS INCREASED. Now how can you explain that?
