This is about climate change, do agree that 2015 was the hottest year in the last 135 years or are you just going to use your extensive research. Dbones research or NASA's Goddard Institute, tough choice.

Do you agree that 135/6.4billion = 0.000000018?

No I got .00000002109375. Please don't tell me this is another "it was warm before it will be warm again" points, I 'm begging you!

Good graph from the EPA on earths temperature, do you notice a correlation between CO2 and temperature?

My calculator works fine. I divided the precise age of the earth (cut and paste) and rounded to 6.4 billion. You are arguing nonsense. The difference between x18 or x20 is basic simple rounding.

The fact is that you have picked 135 years out of billions and claimed its statistically relevant. The proxy records, which are in important part of your position, show hundreds of natural warming and cooling cycles.

You asked a simple division question, and provided a wrong answer. You can't get mad when people correct you with the actual correct number, and then tell us about your rounding, copy/pasting, whatever.

And you can't ignore that 135 years a statistically insignificant period in the history of the planet.

Higher crop and herd output = more food, for one.

A better question is "how has global warming affected you negatively?"

Can anyone of you who are on the AGW bandwagon tell us how it has affected you personally?

It's doesn't even reach insignificant; it's like measuring a gnat to an elephant. If gnats are dying we must do something to save elephants!
