Interesting poll results.

One brave charlie reckons we are in a Little Ice Age. An oil seed salesman told him so, apparently.

One not very bright soul reckons the climate is the same as in 1900. That is clearly not true, it has warmed 1°C which has caused extreme weather, longer bushfire season etc.

The bulk say AGW is happening pretty much as scientists say. Sensible. One thinks AGW is worse than scientists say. OK, dunno what brought about that decision.

One says the world is heating but its not AGW. Like to know what the reason for the heating is then.


Lees tries to obfuscate AGW facts and derail discussion on it. To no avail, most take the sensible decision that it is warming and it is due to GHGs that we emit. We have raised CO2 from 280ppm to 405ppm, a 40% increase. It takes real lack of intelligence to think all that carbon pollution does not change anything! It is idiotic to talk of Ice Age!

Proof? Extreme weather never happened before?

Only if you ignore half the record. What was it they said? It had lengthened since 1970? Had it lengthened from 1850 to 1970? Had it shortened and then lengthened. or vice versa?

The report I quoted said about 25% of the time we have early fire seasons in Australia, since 1926.

Which is different to the bulk of scientists saying it.   You listen to unknown bloggers opinions?

Maybe it is the one the climate scientists say it isn't, but haven't proven it isn't. You know the one "natural variation". Although even the climate scientists admit to natural heating. What is it they say? More than half is due to mankind. So what is the other piece that is less than half? Where is the peer reviewed paper they are quoting?

JM, Where in the rubbish you spout is the control group? In this case the period before CAGW.

You would want to compare them; right? Otherwise how could you tell it was CAGW and not some other influence?

Which is more than we can say for you.

You do know it is not a metronomic 10,000 years; don't you. It varies out to 20,000 years. So it is not unprecedented.

"These warm periods, called interglacial periods, appear to last approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years before regressing back to a cold ice age climate. At year 18,000 and counting our current interglacial vacation from the Ice Age is much nearer its end than its beginning."

The figures are not exact.

So is it different this time?
