If the climate changes suddenly then Goldilocks doesn't have time to move; the bears will maul her and eat her.



Can you define "suddenly" in geologic terms?

"Suddenly" means "happening very quickly, like whoa" in terms of geological time scales.

To pre-empt your next question, "the bears will maul her and eat her" means the same thing to geologists as it does to everyone else.

Like 200 years?

You don't seem to know much for the opinions" you are offering. Wink

No no--say it in "geologic terms".

Ok. it is highly that as there have been, according to paleo data, relatively fast switches in climate, as during the MWP, that climate can vary in the short term over the course of hundreds of years.

As there are only modern temperature records from thermometers, and sparse at that, it is too short a time frame to rule out natural variability, as occurred in the past.

Of course feel free to offer any rebuttal. Wink

I asked you to say "Like 200 years" in "geologic terms" (your phrase, not mine).

Hard to see how you could reasonably interpret that as an invitation to copy-paste some nutjob blogger's pseudoscientific talking point about temperature records.

Deary me petal.

Did you see attribution? No? Because it is my own work, gleaned from peer-reviewed papers.

You should try it sometime.

However I notice you refused to take up the challenge to refute what I said.

Game over.

Goodbye.

My apologies--I didn't realise you had your own nutjob pseudoscientific talking points about temperature records.
