I wonder what would happen on an "Earth Like" planet if someone decided to dump several hundred billion tons of sequestered carbon into the atmosphere over a couple of hundred years? Fortunately we an observe the results of a similar experiment right here on Earth.
That is if the THEORY is founded on fact and not the fiction that is continually pushed by this so called science. I believe the scientists think they are on to something here, but it's so far over their heads they cannot understand 10% of the data they are collecting. CO2 in the atmosphere causes warming is a theory and nothing more.
There has been many times the PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere during ice ages in the past. It's right in the ice core samples but they don't want to talk about that. I wonder why?
Oh wow this discussion is once again going absolutely nowhere.
First of all, yes, it is a THEORY, but you obviously don't understand the difference between a scientific theory and the word theory as it is meant in more general terms:
And seriously, it's not that they don't understand 10% of the data, it's that they're dealing with a very very complex system that is constantly changing. In hindsight it's always easy to understand why something happened but when you're dealing with isolated incidents it's not always easy to immediately determine a cause.
This is part of the denialist technique of putting unrealistic demands on what climatologists can do.
WHY would they ignore that? The reason CO2 levels were higher yet the Earth was colder in the past is because the Earth was further from the sun, or because solar activity was lower.
nope...I have said it repeatedly that it is NATURAL
you are one of those that "has to blame someone"..for a naturally occurring thing
LOL... yes, you're saying it's natural, but you have no idea what 'natural' force is causing it. In your cartoon la la land, it might as well be the Earth itself simply saying 'well, it has been 100,000 years, I guess I had better warm myself up'.

My guess is that the plants which process CO2 would thrive and convert it to food and O2.
It won't matter, there's been zero global warming for about 17 years, and they still act as if our climate is warming at an alarming, and catastrophic rate.

Why does this "natural force" have to be named? That is cartoon la la land at its finest.
