Hi, different person here, genuine question as I've never seen someone who believes that before: can I ask, do you think the temperature rise from entering this interglacial period is correlated with the temperature increases we're seeing at the moment?
It's a fact the temperature is going up now, but if you're suggesting that it's because we're exiting another ice age, even a 'micro' one, what level of temperature increase would you expect to see, roughly? (Doesn't have to be a number, just some idea would be nice) Less than when we 'left' the not-micro iceage?
There are so many factor on why we are seeing a "blip" in temperature. Angle of the Earth to the sun, orbital distance from the sun, coupled w/ we have had natural events that have expelled millions of tons of CO2, and man made.
The point I make is none of these scientist know what the cause is. It all a hypothesis but we have to take it as fact. Would I love to live in a TRULY carbon neutral man made environment. But thats not remotely possible at this time.
No... We as the world population know that certain green house gases trap heat.
We KNOW for a fact that Methane, CO2 and other green house gases trap heat. It's not up for dispute.
When did I say CH4 or CO2 didnt trap heat?
Literally your last comment.
Also left off orbit and angle to the sun, but hey you know everything... But you want to go simple and blame to gasses but not look into other causes... Good job.
You realize the angle of our orbit is what causes our different seasons, right? Are you really claiming average temps are higher because it's summer?
What. Nowhere did I say that was the only reason.
The trapped heat has to come from somewhere.
Are you actually this dense?
What does that have to do with my last comment?
