Earth is the warmest it's been in 100,000 years (elect, government, million)

The Lack Of Greenhouse Gases
...
Is the Earth really in danger of HEATING UP from "Greenhouse gases"?
Let us look at our neighbor, which does not have an atmosphere.
...
The lunar surface (equator) -
minimum : 100° K (-279.67° F)
maximum : 390° K ( 242.33° F)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_moon

Earth
minimum :184° K (-128.47° F)
maximum : 330° K (134.33° F)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

By observation, one may note that despite almost equal energy input from the Sun, the Earth enjoys a substantial COOLING effect (-60° K) from the presence of its atmosphere.

Now, let me lead you to a KARBONITE SITE:
Does CO2 always correlate with temperature (and if not, why not?)
... “A tiny amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, like methane and water vapour, keep the Earth’s surface 30°Celsius (54°F) warmer than it would be without them. We have added 42% more CO2 but that doesn't mean the temperature will go up by 42% too.”

WAIT - the Earth with atmosphere is 60° K cooler than the Moon without an atmosphere.

But they’re saying the greenhouse gases are keeping us 30° K warmer (K and C are the same interval), so we should be 90° K cooler without the “greenhouse” gases.
(Huh?) That computes to a maximum temperature of (330° K - 30° K) = 300° K (80.3° F)
Are these people SERIOUS? That’s a recipe for an Ice Age.
....

Much of the radiation from the Earth is emitted by the atmosphere, not the Earth's surface. Based on albedo, the atmosphere is definitely COOLING the planet's surface. (Earth is 60° K cooler than the Moon, despite almost equal insolation)

Earth’s albedo is about 0.30, while the Moon’s albedo is only about 0.11.

ALBEDO - The fraction of incident electromagnetic radiation reflected by a surface, especially of a celestial body.

One of the comments summed it up : “I postulate => the net result of GH gasses is to cool the Earth!”

And who is the source for this temperature recorded back 100,000 years ago?

What device do you suppose they used back then to measure global temperature?

Government funded scientists ass.

I believe it was 100,000 years ago when the humans and Cyclons from Battlestar Galactica abandoned their technology and arrived on the new world - Earth, so not quite sure about the devices used.

Research history on an animal called foraminifera who make their shells from a form of calcium carbonate. Also ice core samples.

For more quantitative information you have to look in the oceans, and in particular, at the deep sediments that lie on the bottom of the seas. There, a steady rain of shells from small, surface-dwelling animals falls continually, eventually building up hundreds of meters of sediment. These sediments preserve the shells of these small animals for millions of years, all the way back to the age of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.

NASA GISS: Science Briefs: How Can We Tell Past Temperatures?

In looking for climate processes and the forces that influence them at periods ranging from 100 to 1000 years, paleoclimatologists splice instrumented data with calibrated proxy data such from tree rings, cores from icecaps, glaciers, marine and lake sediments layers, and corals, and evidence of vegetation change found in pollen samples and packrat middens


According to the research of Crowley (2000), between 40-65% of decadal-scale temperature variations during the past 1000 years prior to 1850 were caused by changes in solar irradiance and volcanism. While individual volcanoes usually only impact climate for a year or so, clustered eruptions can perturb the climate system for longer periods of time.

Well then we better get used to it, since we didn't cause it and we can't stop it.
I like it warm, anyway.

Proof our ape brained ancestors survived worst. I think we will be OK.

Apparently there is no lie that these corrupt leftist hand-puppets will not tell.

A wet finger.
